CL S v.s. Grand Prix GTP.

CL S v.s. Grand Prix GTP.
(Daytona Beach) In my rearview mirror I'm watching this guy in a fire engine red 03'ish Grand Prix is giving this guy in an early 90's LS400 bloody hell until they finally make it up to me. The guy in the LS400 pulls in front of me to let the guy in the Grand Prix pull past him like he's going out of his mind. I pull up behind the Grand Prix and follow him about 2 carlengths behind to see if I get his attention.
He sees me in his rearview mirror and pulls away, zig zagging through traffic. There's nothing impressive about what he did so I cautiously follow him until we get through the slower traffic. There's long stretch of road and he guns his Grand Prix for life or death. For some reason I guess he thought He'd leave me in the dust but I stayed on him at a constant 3 car lengths before we come up on another crowd of slower cars. Here's where he pisses me off: Instead of staying in the left lane behind slower cars while I ease by him he makes an unsure lane change and barrels his car into the right lane, cutting me off.
I patiently follow him as we get past the slower traffic out into another long stretch of empty highway. He pulls away once again about 5 car lengths like a bat out of hell but this time he's not getting away. :shakehead
I switched to SS mode and downshifted to 4th, which wasn't enough for my taste, so I quickly downshifted to 3rd. I'm pulling on him steadily and surely. As I pulled by him and had a good 1 car length on him I upshifted to 4th and made a good 4 car length pull on him and got around 130mph before shutting down. As I slow to about 90mph he flies by me, gangsta leaning in his car and doing this:

From my "CL S v.s. Dodge Charger v.s. Pontiac G6 coupe" Thread:
Okay, back from my vacation on South Beach - I told myself I wouldn't rack on the miles in my CL S like I did my CL2.2 but I took this one roadtrip anyways. We stayed in one of the Deco motels on Collins A1A, took in some sights at Coconut Grove, Key West, and Orlando totalling close to 2000 miles. The car performed like a champ just as I expected.
In 3 days and close to 2000 miles of being on the road in two different states I'd say that would be more than enough time to have 3 encounters

i know some people hate on the street encounters section, but keep it coming usurper..not only is it fun reading..its nice to see how the CL-S stacks up against all the other cars on the road and ur def testing out a good population of cars for competition.

You're right. People do an unecessary amount of hating in the street encounters forum. They act like they're getting paid or getting frequent flyer mileage for trying to prove someone's story wrong. As long as I have em' I'm going to keep on posting em'.

Back on topic, as the GTP, Regal GS, Monte Carlo (L67) and Impala (L67) only came in 4AT, they do match very well with the CL-S/TL-S 5AT, save for their low governed top end and 'iffy' handling. ....and as MikeCLS6 indicated, modded L67s will make very short work of the CL-S (5AT or 6MT). LINK

Explain to me how doing over 100mph with your GIRLFRIEND sleeping in your car isnt reckless. You're endangering your own g/f's life. I would hate to see your racing encounter threads 5 years ago.

I first want to start this post by saying i own a modded GTP and a modded CLS-6. My CLS6 has headers and a AEM intake which dynoed at 252whp and 218lbs at the wheels. I have yet to dyno my GTP but im pretty sure its making more then the CLS-6.
Like F23A4 said.....all L67 engines are 4speed autos.
The L67 engine is a pushrod 3.8L V6 with a supercharger, no fancy technology there. Stock ratings are 240hp and 285lbs at the flywheel i believe. When dynoed stock they put down around 200 at the wheels.
My GTP is a 97, that year came with no traction control or limited slip, i get the peg-leg when i punch it. All there power comes down low hence the supercharger and they have terrible top-end stock. i have some mods on my GTP making it a high 13sec car with traction problems (intake, pulley, roller rockers, downpipe...under 1k worth of mods.
And it gets 30m+mpg on trips!!!!i get about 24mpg driving around town
I will say the ride, comfort and quality of the acura is so much better then the pontiac hands down!!!!

This is lame compared to your usual pimp heram encounters. Here's some of my personal favorite encounters...
CL S v.s. Infiniti M35
My HID's reveal the driver of the car - it's a slinky, sexy-looking scandinavian-looking, Bond girl-looking young woman with shoulder length piano wire straight blonde hair and bangs.
02' CL S v.s. 01' Prelude
She looks back at me wearing her Chanel sunglasses with a hard terminator looking stare, then puts her eyes back on the road.
CL S v.s. BMW 328i
I decide at the last moment to slow down even more to see who this person is that was trying to take me. I'm gazing hard through the smokey tint of the driver's side window and it turns out to be some 20 something-looking sorority-looking chick with curly brown hair.
02' CL S v.s. 06' Stratus
I look in my rearview mirror to see who this person is and it's a young blond with chrome sunglasses.
CL S v.s. Lexus ES300
I'm thinking to myself this lady might try me but I doubted it. Soon as the light turns green she GUNS IT!! I hit half throttle just to see if she was serious - YES she was serious!

You need to just shut the fuck up and find something else to occupy your time with. Obviously you can see I don't fuck with anyone on this site. Obviously, in all this time I haven't said anything about you or to you in any of your threads or anywhere else on this site yet you still harrass me like you're mentally retarded. That should give you a little hint you fucking genius: SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE BEING HARRASSED.
And if you think I'm going to sit idolly by and let an asshole like you continuously and unprovokingly contaminate threads, following me wherever you see me post, you're out of your fucking mind. You're supposed to be a grown ass man - you need to act like one instead of acting like some 12-year-old special ed, school yard bully. Grow the fuck up and mind your own damn business. If you don't have the common sense to interact on this site without harrassing people you need to sign off or get your sorry ass BANNED.

I was just having a little fun, but since you have your panties in a tizzy now, I'll leave you and your overly dramatic encounters to yourself. I'll miss the BS though, I really will, but change is good. You should look into it.
I have seen many other forums with 30 new street encounters from members per day. Atleast he keeps us chuckling.
