CL-S vs. '13 Toyota FR-S

My car: '02 CL-S 5AT with K&N drop in, resonator delete, Unorthodox Racing stock diameter crankshaft pulley. His car: 2013 Toyota FR-S lowered w/rims and exhaust and not sure what else.

We caught a light tonight and had a nice straight stretch in front of us with no traffic. The light turned green, he spun while I chirped into 2nd and up by 1.5 car lengths. He hung about three cars back until 65-70mph. In 3rd I pulled away nicely and let off at 85mph where I had 5+ lengths. No sense beating a dead horse.

He caught up to me at the next light and exchanged thumbs' ups. Good clean run and I'm proud of my ride!

On a side note the FR-S is one of my favorite newer cars, very cool.

They're really slow. Handle great, but no power.

Cool, good to know. I thought it'd be close since they are RWD, lighter, and from a dig. I figured I'd be playing catch up after 60 at least.
