A-CL Post Whore w/N2O
It will be close. The Solara has 2 less HP, but 17 ft lbs more torque, and weighs 21 lbs more than the '98 3.0CL.
I'd say it's a driver's race.
Good luck!

If it's stock against stock I got a little suggestion. Power Brake. Keep your left foot on the brake and give the gas pedal a little pressure to get your RPM's up to about 2300. When the light turns GREEN lift off of the brake and slam the gas. It helps alot cuz in my opinion our cars are freakin sluggish 
til about 3000.

Yo d5c5b! Yeah I'm VP of wTn. But that wasn't my car in the pic at the trim shop. I did however get my interior done about 2 1/2 weeks ago and it came out real sweet. I'll have some pics of my shiet soon though.

Are you sure it's stock? Have you looked or just taking his word for it?
How much money are we talkin'?
If it's a big deal, have a buddy "test-drive" a Solara from your local Toyo dealer and meet you for a practice run......

Don't they make a TRD supercharger for that shit? Oh well...even with it, its only like 245 or so HP to the crank. Regardless, that car is slow. My roommate last year had an SLE V6 and he refused to race me at all.
You're basically racing a Camry...give the CL a little more confidence than that.
