    As a proud and happy owner of a silver 03 cl type-s 6mt . Thanks for making a video to promote the rarity of these cars. I wish I could get my hands on a comptech supercharger.

      No problem, I've loved this car since I was a child, and owning one now especially a 6mt is surreal, I will be making even more videos on my own car as well.

      Also own one in black color since 2013 and 97000km. Still love it and it still is super emotional car to drive. Always had a custom exhaust and recently installed Koni Street shocks. Car is a legend! And mine sounds better than any I ever heard or seen on youtube.

      @@SteffanJohal well here’s the story lmao, my dad purchased a 2001 TL Base In 2006 as a graduation gift and it wasn’t even a week into me having it and the transmission failed, my family has been dealing with this dealership forever so to stay loyal to my dad they let me trade it back, the day I brought it back some guy “just” traded the 03 supercharged CL Type S 6 Speed In and they let me do a swap for it for the same price (8400), they didn’t investigate that this one was a lil special and I got it. My dad didn’t approve at first because I was 18 and I literally had the fastest car in the streets gapping M3’s like it’s nothing, but it lasted 10 years and the key turned Everytime except once and that because the battery died, brakes rotors oils tires were all I ever changed on it, it had every part that the guy before me enhanced still on there. Long story short lol It’s 2016 it’s a little older but it has 140k on it still drove like the day I got it but I had other cars at the time and I had a more expensive bmw at the time and let my girl drive the Acura because I felt the bimmer was just a little too much for her (600HP), she crashed the cl they said it was gonna cost like 5-7k to fix, insurance paid me 4450 for it and told me to do whatever I wanted with it, I sold it to a junk guy for 1450, he was surprised I drove it on to the flat bed with the engine entirely pushed in, saw it was the super charged one offered me a extra 450 instead of the 1000 because I started having second thoughts man I loved that car, It was a connection like no other, and I driven all the nice shit these days because of my profession and still nothing comes close imo best car I’ve had to date probably because it was super sporty and the maintenance was minimal
