CL-S 6sp vs G6
Just pulled my 03 CL-S 6speed out of its winter hibernation and was putting some fresh gas at the gas station when a silver Pontiac G6 pulls up with 3 high school kids in it. I was asked by the driver of the G6 if my car was a 6speed I confirmed and I challenged him to a race, he seemed to know a good spot. The 2 girls took forever getting back into his car, but I didn't mind as one of them was f-n hot and had painted on jeans that I swear were spotting a camels toe. That should be illegal, probally is I didn't get her name or age.
After 10 minute ride we came to straight stretch, lots of visability. I took the left side of the road. Racing from a stop is all about control as it's easy to miss a gear when your exited. I coaxed the driver into letting the girls out, less weight ect and just wanted anouther peak of course(yes I'm a sick,sick man). With my engine reved to about 1200 rpm he says GO. He was right beside me untill I hit 3 gear and letting my v-tech max out I hit 4 th and was about a 1/2 car length ahead of him when he caught up, I was then doing 140km and approaching a hill in the wrong lane. I slowed down he passed. I know I won but he figures he took me in the end. It was fun and took me back to the careless days of my early 20's
Now I really can't wait to hit the track and see some ET times

Good kill for your first day back out there. I also took mine out of winter hibernation today. We had over 2” of rain the past two days so the roads are nice and clean.
I bet your 6sp would have taken him more if you were more confident maxing out the shift points in 1, 2nd and 3rd. I’ve only driven mine 3 times in the last 3.5 months and today (first day out in the spring) I am a little shy on the throttle. Once I change the oil this weekend, redline, here I come.

Nice kill though........but I'd think you would've won by more.

you are 31, and you challenged some high school kids in a G6 (slow car) to race... and then you were checkin out the little girls... AND you barely beat him... jeez what a puss you are...
step 1 (one) : learn how to drive your car
step 2 (two) : leave highschool kids alone
step 3 (three) : pick your races better a g6 is no challenge

Why not just embaress him and beat him by the 3-4 car lengths you should have? If I raced any NA OHV GM V6 I would kill myself if I couldnt walk them from any speed.

IMO I would have smoked his ass if I went out of my way to race - but then I probably wouldnt have if I was 31...but who knows

Holy shit.. You guys are being overly sensitive..
He just brought the car out no need to beat on it right away.. And nothing wrong with checking out some chics..
I'm closing this before it gets any more out of control..
