OMG ...i'm still shaking...i dont know if you guys get the adreneline shakes when you race...but i do...not every time but when im excited...i mean im freakin...it's midnight and i made one pass to see if anythings going...as im about to pull a Uey and head home there goes this beautiful C5...i go past him in third wot just to let him know i might play...we get to the first light and we roll out but both of us were like hum..then we both realize it's on....now i get the unfair start and i see his car down shift ...either he's smoked the rears or it's exhaust but he's coming and im already going and w eget to about 90+ and shut it down ...but just as i figured the next light is turning yellow...this time there's no mistaking what's about to happen...I'm sure this is a 6 speed (harder to launch) the light turns and i mean i cut a light....i roll into full throttle just right ,minimal chirp he spins alittle but not to bad...he's right on my rear wheel...i catch 2nd at the last milli second i swear it said 7500....i almost think i heard the rev limiter kick but, with no adverse effect.i catch second mildly, he caught his 2nd with a resounding bark just before.. and put him right on my back bumper...here he comes not flying by...but moving by and i know from experience he was just gonna start putting cars on me,but he just gets about half to 3/4's a car out front and shuts it down.. i look down imediatly and it's right at 90 MPH... we turn off...i go by, window down, thumbs up ,and a light honk...he gives one back, and here i am.....the 60' im tellin you....i know this is hard for some of you to swallow,not having all the mods that a few of us have ,im not saying this to brag, what i mean is there really is a transformation of this car, as we approach extreme amount of mods available...someone driving a stock CL is like ya right...just tires make a huge difference in what the car can do...on my best day i think i can go 13.6 at 103 and i think i just had that run just now...OH BTW I,ve descided that break torqueing results in slower 60's keep one foot on the break and one just touching the gas and feed it throttle as you roll out...

 

good run typeR

your car must be pretty and it ALL MOTOR VERY NICE


i raced a C5 before and beat him, i guess some just aren't as fast as people think they are....

 

Nice, good to Rep the CL, let those other guys know we mean business. I hope to be running at the track this summer. You guys will probably like the times that I will put down.

 

guess all that track time is paying off

how did you have your konis setup?

 

D: firm

 

great run.

I agree,I feel our cars do a jekyll and hyde w/enuff tweaking

 

There has never been a truer statement. I've always gotten poor results when brake torqueing...

Nice Run!

 

typeR... I believe it, before anyone else comes in and says they don't.

Only because you obviously run your car pretty consistently, and more often than not, someone in a C5 has no clue how to drive it. I don't think your car is actually faster than the C5... or even close, but it's probably within half a second... which is driver's race. C5 runs probably about 13.1 ET?

 

I believe it. Street = anything can happen. With the way TypeR 's car runs; it sounds like he was able to do everything he needed to. The C5 is a faster car, I don't think many will have a problem with that statement. Going up to 90 wouldn't give a chance for the Vette abuse third gear. (LS1's strongpoint) But a kill is a kill. This one's for you

 

Nice showing, its nice to see a V6 can keep up with a might LS1 at least for a while. While I am not nearly as fast as you, I ran a C5 at the track last time, I had him almost until the 1/8th mile, then it was all over for me. Which makes sense, I started losing earlier than you did.

Good job!!! And keep prowling out there, the CLS' are still relatively unknown as a performer!!

 

nice run type r, i believe you. i rode in a c5 last week and the driver went WOT alot, it wasnt as fast as i thought it was.

btw, how do u manage to find all these races, i cant seem to pick any over here.

 

TypeR...ive always wondering what does your CL look like. Can you show me some pics or tell me?

 

stock...it's lowered with H&R o.e. so barley lowered 1 /1.25 approx. stock wheels,no wing,toyo tires 235/45 silver with metalic tint
