3.0 cl vs. newer tl non type-s
I was traveling on route 22 through allentown, pa doing about 65 in a 55 when a stock silver tl comes tearing by me. There were two guys in the car that looked over to catch a glance as they went by. After a few seconds I say hell with it and started trying to catch up. I was doing a little over 80mph and and still wasnt gaining on him at all until we both got off the same exit to get on route 33 towards the poconos. The ramp has an entrance speed of 25 mph and he was definitely pushing his car around the corners. I took the ramp doing about 55 and caught up to him. Merging onto 33 we took off at about the same time, he stayed in the right lane and I pulled into the left as I started approaching him. I walked passed him doing about 80 mph, looked over smiled and shut down around 100mph. I slowed down and got in the right lane to get off my exit about a mile later and the guys went by and gave a thumbs up. Overall pretty fun race, never ran a tl before.

Hmmm... well i dunno about TLP, but CLP did the same thing that you have done to that TLP.... I walked away, i mean AWAY from the 3.0CL, like he didnt step on it, but i can hear his intake from like 3-4 cars ahead.... Hmm, i wonder how will you do against a CLP with every single mods that is available...???
Ok, i dunno how well mine does... when my CLP was stock, i ran 15.1.... then before i had my VAFC and headers, i ran 14.8 with CAI, pulleys, denso... Now i have headers, HKS, and VAFC... i wonder how will i do now.....
But yea, dont underest. the power of 3.0CL... they aint slow... BTW, is 3.0CL faster or Accord V6 faster??? i always wonder about that!
