CL-S 5AT vs EVO 8 ~Video Inside~

I had a 180lb passenger the evo had no one. Mods on my car are AIM CAI, XS Header, UR Crankshaft Pulley, Hi-Flow Cat

Evo has drop in filter, 3in catback and WORKS stage 2 reflash/tune

Raced up to 100mph than I shut off, he kept going we'll see how I do when I get my 2.5in piping and my NEO tuned.

Btw we're both laughing about the penguin he had hanging from his undercarriage in the back, it was flying around swinging.

I pull 1st through 3rd, 4th gear sucks in the CL-S

How in the world are you pulling in 1st gear on an EVO??? Please give me the secret because he should have 2 car lengths on you in 1st gear before you can even get to second.

Whats so surprising about pulling on an evo in 1st? and btw it was a 25mph roll, he was at almost 4k, boost builds at 3.5k in a stock 8 and his is reflashed. And why do you think he should have 2 lengths on me? do you know what a evo 8 puts down stock? From a dig it would be a different story but in this case the CL has the advantage in a roll.

Ah, I guess when I think of 1st gear in an auto CL-S, I am thinking of a dig because there is only a small range that you can use 1st from a roll.

But ya, I can understand if its from a 25mph roll and you downshift from 2nd to 1st even for a brief second.

I was holding 1st gear using the gate shifter, if you put it all the way in 1 it will hold 1st gear, hence me hitting the rev limiter on accident.

look to me like you got the jump and held him off through 2nd gear. as soon as you shift into 3rd he starts pulling on you hard. good run...lose the passenger next time

Once he shifts into 4th he pulls hard for some reason, his 1st-3rd are no match for my car its weird. Even when im still in 3rd at like 6k his 4th still pulls hard on me.

We'll get a legit race once I get my 2.5in catback and NEO dyno tuned, we'll see how hard I pull on him.

That's only true at WOT. But since it was from a roll, he was not at full boost unless he knows to brake boost. So hence, the turbo lag, and the pull by the CLS. Nice job btw.

I'll race him again and tell him brake boost once I get tuned and such.
