Took down a Vigor

I was driving home from work yesterday on highway and i heard this roaring sound from behide, i thought it was my car. I look back it was a dark red Vigor, drop with black rims and an exhaust, look pretty clean. Right when i saw the exhaust and how fast he's driving, i slam on the gas in my 3.0 and chased him down in traffic. Finally the highway was wide open for us to race maybe a few car was here and there. we slow down to like 60, i let him floor it first too....right when i heard his exhuast i slammed on the gas and was pulling away so hard...musta have like 4-6 car lane in front. wasn't even a 1/4mile cuz i had to exit.

What ya think about those inline-5?

I think a Vigor is like about stock 180hp. You stock about 200. Should kill him without problems unless he got something under the hood.

my uncle had a 5sp one. it was black on black and it was nice. my favorite part of the car is the way the rear windows bow down when rolled open.

That is the best feature on Vigor's and Legends. The roll down back windows are bomb. I bet you can modify CL's windows to do that.

i know in the Legend the door will suck itself in if its not closed correctly. Why can't our CL do that and have back windows roll down.

It's a damn shame bro, CL's should not have been neglected on those features.
