but what was your trap speed? Every 350Z i saw at the track was besting 14.3 im very surprised that your CL pulled that off especially with the HP loss thru the auto.
i could see the TL-S six speed in the low 14's

I'll have to dig out the video and timeslips as I keep them all, but my trap speed was in the low to mid 100 mph range. The 5spd auto, with VSA (traction control) off can launch pretty well, and builds rev's quickly to get to VTEC (the car makes peak torque, all 232 ft-lbs at 3500 RPM) The stock intake is restrictive as hell. The stock CL runs a high 14 (about 14.7-14.8) at about 97 mph. Comptech's header gives this car 37 REAL hp, which will put very close to 300 flywheel hp (if not over) with the intake.
Oh and as far as the new TL 6spd, it's actually a bit slower than the CL because of its' heavier weight. Sure it has 10 hp more stock, but has a bit more weight to lug around. In handling though, the TL walks the CL.
