Take for instance my old Typhoon. One day I ran a 13.24 and two weeks later couldn't get below a 13.7. One month later I was runing 13.3 - 13.4. Nobody was running well on Sunday; would you expect an SC430 to run in the low 15's?? I expected Rick in his GS4 with Intake and Exhaust to be in the low 14s.
But IMO, as I have tried to show in comparing specifications, the 6-Speed would be quite capable of running with a GS4 stock for stock. But the GS4 will out class the CLS all of the time!!

I just speaking from an incounter with a local 6sp guy that tried me. He stayed with me to like the end of 2nd gear than I started to pull hard I say about a 1.5 car length and he never gained that lost distance! That was with the same setup Rick had plus my 20s which by the way weights 50lbs per rim and tire.

I just saw the videos. Man, the second run agains the GS is amazing! I can't believe how much of a jump he had and you still ran him down. Wow! Good Job, and good runs!
GS400_PUSHER, maybe next time. We waited for you. I brought my cam and all

Yes DrRick mph were on the low side but he was very consisted in his times. I ran a bit quicker in the 1/4 than him but that is up here in MD, plus I have Stock exhaust so my lowend TQ is slitely stronger down low. I also had wider Stock tires than him if I'm not mistaken 255/35/17s in the REAR and I bet he had 235/35/17. But yes I bet Scalbert is putting more to the ground then Dr.Rick or me. I just don't understand how you guy in the Auto with no modds say you ran low 14s or mid 14s.
Now Scalbert I could see him in the 14s or high 13s for sure...6sp and mods is a deadly combo!!!
