Thanks! It's interesting... the rear-wheel drive of the 8 really makes it feel different from the other two, both FWD with LSD. That said, the Type R suspension is rock-hard, zero body roll, and the LSD is so good that you can easily throttle-steer the back-end around... it's a similar driving experience to the 8 (8800 rpm redline, low torque), but it's LOUD. No sound-deadening whatsoever. I'll miss her.
The 8 makes the CL feel pretty soft due to body roll, but the CL's 232 lb/ft gives an unholy kick in the pants. It's LSD is good too, but it's tough to rotate the car. The torque scares my fiance.
In terms of quickness, the CL-S hits 60 in about 5.8, the 8 in 5.9, and the R in about 6.2. All comparable, but three totally different feels. All quarter mile times in the 14s.

Kel Rx8, what did you put the R motor into? It's definitely not for everybody. Torque is like 136 lb/ft, and I went with the CL-S precisely because I wanted better bottom-end.
