i have my car in the shop rite now.. but my friend has a stock 1990 ls400.. and i have a 2003 acura cl-s 6 speed. with the following>intake and getting hks draggers exhaust when the car returns to me.. ? he claimes the v8 would smoke me<<(he only got 250 hp)... so we put 35$ down.. ( am i going to lose 35 $??).. .

 

He will lose. Take his money.

 

raise the bet to like 1561561351358418613 dollars, and be rich aftewards

 

yeah man just bet like a Comptech SC and you'll be happy I dont even know why you thought he would beat you, you could beat him stock vs stock or even if he had an intake and you didnt, cause the LS weighs quite more than your CL and plus you have an extra 10 Horses. Just beat him and take his car, money, and house.

 

just dont fawk up the launch and your 35 dollars richer

 

The 0-60 on the 1990 LS400 is almost over 9 or 9.5 seconds... 1/4-mile in the 16's!!

This race is an absolute joke...

 

Obtained from C&D December, 1996
0-60: 7.5 Transmission: Automatic
1/4 Mile: 15.7
1/4 Speed: 91

This is for the 1996 LS400 w/ I think 260hp ..

 

I ran a 1996 LS400 in my non-modded TL and we were neck and neck ..

 

whats for lunch?

 

dood you should dust that foo stock vs stock, even the auto's...

its the ls430 you wanan worry about

 

Not to mention an auto's gear ratios vs your 6spd's .. dude just launch it right and you wont have a problem

 

You will absolutely piss on him. My friend has a 94 SC400 with HKS exhaust and I absolutely murder him off the line. I would bet MORE that $35 if possible.

0-60: 8.1

I think you'll be fine.

 

Raise the stakes. Race for slips.

 

well i told him to raise the bet.. but i guess his mind changed so he said he is going to race me with his hooked up 1997 maxima(<<exhaust,intake,jet chip..)i think i should still beat him.. i ussually get a real good launch..imma race him for 50$$ tell me if i got that ???( i think ill kick ass.)

 

is the max a stick??

 

i had a '96 maxima...

dude you will burn him. that gen maxi just dont got the sap that our rides have

 

I've also raced a 96 5-speed maxima w/ y-pipe, intake, and exhaust, and I beat him pretty easily as well (but not as bad as the SC400). Just shut VSA off, put it in SS, and make your shifts at 7000 RPMs. You'll beat him for sure.

 

make sure to ask him if he is stock. if he is spraying your going to lose

and make sure you dont do it from a roll cause those things get up to 100 mph pretty quick!

but if he is stock you will smoke him so bad its not even funny...

i think this race is all about the launch

but dont get too disapointed if you dont launch perfectly. i rember civic4982 and i raced once and he was spinning through 1st and 2nd i was about 3 car lengths ahead of him but all of sudden he crept and crept and barely passed me up. he had a 6-speed stock and i had i/h/e

sidemarker

 

you will rape him, omg that wager should be raised

 

hahahahahaha

i have a 1999 LS400, 290hp RWD

0-60: 7.0s

I'm sure the CL-s 6mt is in the low 6, so you win!

 

my dad has a 91 ls400 and I can tell you for a fact your cl will embarass it. The lexus has alot of torque which feels great but in terms of speed I can embarass it in my stock cl any day.

 

I've beaten both the manual Maxima and a LS430, along with a SC430 at the track.

I will tell you if you don't launch good the 430s may pull you at the end . . especially if you don't have a clear 1/4 mile marked off . . the SC430 would have caught me by 110 or so.

ruf, he's talking about the ls400, not the 430's...

plus, its a 1990 ls400, not a previous gen ls400

 

 

 

Did you kick his ass yet?
