Come to one of our SELOC meets. 1st Sundays of the month at 2. We got a spot downtown. Not sure if we got a Lexus that can keep up but we always have Supra guys there. We always take vids too.

So, what's up? We welcome anyone.

I'm always glad to run someone. However in this case it would certainly result in a major loss. A 12.4@113 is too quick for me by far. We are going down to Silver Dollar Raceway on the 27th. It is an import meet but all are welcome according to the organizers.

But I am curious, why come to a CL forum an offer up a race?? The cars are not comparable nor are they market competitors.

I still have the knock issue to work our before going to the track. If it is not resolved by next weekend I will be going back to the lower boost pulley.

steve just to defend carzy alittle ...he didnt just come here to offer a challange...he reseponds off and on to race stories...backs up LS1 numbers stuff like that ,we've got members like 330 rwhp and pullT,to name a few that even though they dont have CL's are here from time to time...i dont think he was nessecarily picking on CL's...just looking for a run...i thought of you..but after wards noticed his 12.4 is it? thought that was too much but still it could be fun...hell i could dream you might pull off a low 13 and if he doesnt have his best run and goes 12.9 to a 13.2 it's just a light away from a good race...

I did not recognize the username and saw low post count and recent registration date; so I assumed he came here looking. But regardless, I'd be happy to run and lose.

Even with the best launch possible and pulling hard throughout I would be seeing tail lights right out of the hole, with them getting smaller and smaller down the entire strip...

typeR, thanx foe defending me, lol...And its true, i came on the board not to pick on anyone or even to look for a race, i like the way ur cars look, and i'm bored at work most of the time so here i am...The reason i'm asking for a race is not to win or loose, but just to have some fun, and meet new cool car peolpe. As long as you are not a ricer with a big ass wing and a 17sec car that in your mind is the fastest thing on the road, you are ok in my book...

Peace


1SICKLEX,
I'd love to come down and hang out with you guys on sunday, but lately i've been working almost every sunday, i'm usually off two different days a week...

Sounds good and I welcome the chance to get whooped. I like my CL for its intended purpose but decided to get the Comptech SC to set it apart from others as it looks completely stock inside and out (Except under the hood).

Do you run up at Commerce often on the Friday night (crowded) sessions??

I've been to commerce, but i try to stay away from it, especially the crowded friday nights, lol..I cant seem to get any traction whatsoever up there, bastards never prep the track, plus too many people, mostly i try to go to SD even though its further...

Seriously, If I could of swung the insurance at the time, I would be in a WS6. But I am more than pleased w/ my little 4.6 and would never go to the dark side.

Idle is lopey as hell right now ...Its running not so good, as i'm awaiting for my predator to come back to me, so i can tune it...I got a huge ass cam, so i'll be plenty fast, And the driveability is not bad even now, the car is a slug right now though since its running crazy rich...Will let you know soon what kind of #s i put up when i tune it...

Well... 2003 CL-S 6spd. Used to be turbocharged... 345fwhp @ 5.5psi boost. Ran a 12.9 @ 111.87mph (bad 60-foot, 900' altitude... but no excuses). Building it for NA now... don't think it will make 322whp like yourself, but hoping for 280'ish without having to take the bottom-end apart. I am sure it will run mid 12's with a 100-shot of NOS.... hence I asked Zoot to lend me his kit Then again, I don't really like NOS, so the ultimate goal is 12s on the motor.... might be doable, but we'll have to wait and see!

Going up to Commerce anytime soon? I'd love to see it run and I'd be happy to line up with you. Just give me a 1/4 track head start...

I had thought about going up there this Friday but things have come up. Maybe next Friday though.

I don't get why someone with a Pontiac would come to the CL forum and talk about their camshaft?!?

Oh... Pontiac-folks don't have a online forum?!?

I have a friend with an early 90’s vette that has over 400rwhp who might want to run with you ... the thing is why wouldn't you go to a forum with more cars like yours … I mean our cars aren’t built or meant to be raced … The CL is an entry level luxury coupe which so happens to have a nice quick V6. I mean seriously! Does your car have nice heated leather seats? Navigation? Automatic climate control? NO I think not! … if all you’re doing is looking for an import to race than the CL isn’t what you want … I have some friends you might want to talk with … One has a WRX which runs mid 12s and if that’s not good enough for you there’s a guy that goes to my school with a Hatch Civic with a turboed b18c5 which runs 11s ... go Here and post your "anyone want to run" thread

Ya, I don't get it either. LOL I guess us non-Cl people are enthusiast and like to share information across brands and boards? And heck, if they even have a RegalGS ( www.regalgs.org ) board, they gotta have everything.

CrazyBosnian, check the local Atlanta LExus club out at www.SELOC.net. We got a turbo IS 300 for you and as stated before, we constantly have Supra guys come out and hang.

This would be a great vid.

I have a great spot downtown, across from Friday's on Peachtree St. the upstairs parking deck. Check out www.SELOC.net to see when we meet next. We welcome everyone, once your mature and cool as a fan.
