01 CL_S vs 02 Trans am???
So i was coming home from work just now, its midnight and I got off the free way and was at a light in the right lane, i saw some headlights comin up pretty damn fast, i look over and see something like a trans am pullin up next to me, it had flip up lights and was green but looked kinda new like 02 or something, still not sure what it was, but i looked over and it was a guy and he stared at me so I just looked ahead but nodded my head, i was a little nervous because if it was a trans am i know some have v8's, it turned green and i stepped on it, didn't bother with SS cause i was tired from work, it was over after 1st gear, but i still ran out 2nd to make sure and I was at least a car length ahead of him, i put on my hazards and he flipped his lights down then back up, and i turned right at the next light and he gave me a thumbs up, i really doubt it was a trans am because of how hard I beat it, but whatever it was turned out to be my first official kill!

I thought he might be messin to but he was a young kid who wouldn't be doing that, he flipped his lights and gave the thumbs up, also I totally forgot about the racing sub forum, if a mod would move this that would be awesome, sorry, first kill jitters!
It might have been a firebird, but they still have 3.8L v6, if it was i would be plenty happy

Even if it was a V6, he still would have had a hard time pulling 1 car immediately off the line because of the rwd, thats why I am not sure about how serious the other guy pushed it.
Our cars are quick, but don't get caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
Also, a mustang gt is faster than our cars. Don't get confused with beating the driver and beating the car. One day you run into a GT with a good driver and you will get walked, just a warning.

"Magazine racing" is accurate because it depicts the way the car should be ran. I could beat a Dodge Viper SRT-10 if he can't shift for shit and delays off the line, point is, if you beat the driver, it is nothing special.
The LS1 cars are absolutely beasts. They run mid 13s stock and with just simple bolt-ons are high 12s cars, they will beat us unless you have a good turbo without any wheel spin off the lines.
Anyway, I agree with the previous poster, that beating a driver is not something to be proud of, it is beating the car that matters. So it is nice that you won and all, but either it was a V6 or he was not making any effort.
Either way, welcome to the world of the underrated CL-S and you will find races in which you can blow people away because they don't know about our cars.

exactly... but u will never find on the streets at least a guy who will be driving his car to the fullest and best he/she can.. so i was merely saying that instead of finding STats online, actually doing them is more accurate in winning...
no disrespect to everyone.. i kind of just flipped out for no reason... dont know why. sorry.

u coudl of just said, it probably was a V6 because the V8s are very fast and our cars dont have a chance...
got the same point out but didnt sound liek an angry snapping douche.

I know for sure it was not a v8, i never entertained that thought, i have no clue what diff engines a trans am can have so thats why it was my first guess, but I have always known it was not a v8, it looked american muscle but got walked, i know this guy was serious though, maybe he missed his shift to second, cause when i was shifting to second thats when i looked in my side mirror, gosh i really wanna know what it is!
BTW thanks for whichever mod moved the thread

NOT TRUE....LINCOLN LS'S WON'T....TRUST ME I KILLED ONE.
6.8 SEC 0-60 MPH (MOTORTREND)
AS FOR CAMERO / TRANS AM
I KEPT UP WITH A CAMERO Z28 TO 80 MPH THEN I SHUT DOWN. NOT SAYING HE WOULDN'T BEAT ME IN 1/4 MILE BUT I KEPT UP WITH HIM PRETTY GOOD.

There's actually quite a few V8s we can take down. For instance, as cbus said, the Lincoln LS, also Q45s, some pre-99 Mustangs, SC400s, mid-90s Impala SS, etc. I smacked around a modded out Dodge Dakota R/T not long after I bought my CL-S.
The question shouldn't be can we beat a V8, it should be which V8 can we beat? IMHO the only way to beat a LS1 is hope he lights the tires up through the first 3 gears, and even then you're not guaranteed a win.

Second, I love my CL, but am realistic when it comes to racing. Just because a car is faster, it doesn't mean I have "pride" in that car. I despise mustangs, I think they are cheap unattractive cars with decent engines.
And allout, you raced from a roll which is a completely different beast than if you started from a dig, and I know that you know that.
Also, we are comparing a full modded bolt on CL-S Auto (which I also have) against a stock 99 GT. If that puppy adds on a venom fuel reprogram, exhaust, pulley, and CAI, that car will easily be pulling mid to high 13's consistently with a decent driver.
I am just saying, I would hate to see our sexy cars get smoked by a mustang, but you gotta keep it real sometimes unless you have something up your sleeve.
