There is this truck scale on the other side of the street from my warehouse that is never turned off. I decided to check to see how much my car weighs at night just because i was curious. There was nothing in my car other than a 10inch type R sub, the amp to power it, and an empty 24oz Pepsi bottle

Well i got on the scale and with me out of the car it weighs in at 3400... (1/4 tank of gas too)

3400 lbs. Its quite amusing as my friends Trans Am weighs in at 3800 with a set of corvette heads in his trunk, a vette cam, and a battery charger.

typeR

whats even more amusing is in the heavier auto FWD , your friend needs those heads and cam to take my car

Nice.

another reason why this tuna boat is not suited for racing.

all show baby!

GreenMonster

My last car was 3800lbs, so I think the CLS-6spd @ 3446 lbs is kinda light

edit: oh, the scale is off.. as a auto CL checks in at a little over 3500lbs.

You think a ls1 trans am needs heads/cam to take your car...thats the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life...I like my cl-s but please dont even try to compare them to a ls1 car. My 2000 ws6 with air lid and catback would run 12.80's all day long in the summer heat on street tires. It weighed like 3575 with me in it and I weigh 180

CL6

Gavin MacCleod's boat was built for comfort, not the track!

fsttyms1

It would need those if it was a Stock LS1 and not a WS6

well, for starters... your CL-S is not the same as his CL-S.

typeR

they dont run 12.80 in florida with just cat back and...and i beat stock ish LS1s on a regular basis...but acctually no i dont think they need heads and cam they do however need long tubes and a dump and some good rubber...point being at a just as heavy if not heavier fwd auto V6 against the mighty LS1 i wiped many a smile off an F body face...

bmehling

haha I love people who know nothing about motors or cars...a ws6 and a trans am have the SAME exact motor...ws6 has a little better flowing exhaust and diff suspention...

bmehling

dude not trying to talk smack about your car but it only traps 105.....thats good for a v6 cl-s but pathetic in terms of an ls1. Your car makes 250 something hp..and ls1 with long tubes will make 350-360...thats 100 more hp and they weigh aboutt he same.....not to mention the trans and them being rear wheel drive...coe on man...your car is ok for a cl-s but please dont compare them to a ls1 car

Funniest thing I ever read!!!!!!!

^^ you gonna share?

cltypeSLOW

typeR ftw. get those volks nga.

typeR

peak hp is not what wins races and I trapped 106 and Ls1s in florida trap about 101-05 stock..long tubes and a dump 108-112...there are several videos i can show you of say me 3 cars out at 115 on a machI from a stop...a roush III at 9 psi barley pulling on me from a roll..oh and the mach video is being filmed from my friends 728 hp '03 cobra...

BigLizard

I love your motor...

bmehling

and a ls1 would beat every single one of those cars. No vids of you beating a ls1 huh? And by the way my 2000 ws6 cam only (small little tr 224 224 cam) trapped 118! I msorry man but frm a stop or roll a ls1 will eat you for lunch everytime unless its my grandma behind the wheel. much love though. i love my cl-s

typeR

stock LS1s are not faster than bolt high boost roush III ? and most accounts put them right on par with the 6mt machI... no no videos but im either 38 have 500 passes at the track in my cl and just as many if not more on the street and lieing to you...or this hole time im real only 16 it's my dads CL and everything ive said since 2000 has been a lie...hey im not saying a bolt LS1 isnt faster...im just saying i beat them on a regular basis

04tl6spman

haha this is awesome. Personally i come from owning a 2002 camaro ss with the upgraded 345 package. There is no way you can keep up with an ls1, or even compare an acura to a ls1 firebird/camaro. SS is the same as a z28 and the ws6 is the same as the formula and transam, slight appearance differences and some have the 345 instead of the 325. Muscle cars are about speed, harsh ride and rattles. I sacraficed speed for a nice sport/luxury car.

Please don't forget just because you see a car at the track run 15's doesn't mean it only runs 15's there are too many variables that determine that. ls1s run low 13's with the occasional factory freak that runs high 12's STOCK.

Heres a tip if you see a camaro/firebird with only one exhuast tip its a v6....yes you can beat them, so can the stock civic next to you.

YeuEmMaiMai

a stock accord V6 (the 200hp ones) can beat a V6 camaro........what's your point?

ccannizz11

quite a few noob's in here don't seem to be getting the point

Hey guys how many lbs does a CF hood takes off? Cuz i seen one on the ebay going for 390+ shipping..

Yes our cars heavy but they are also comfy which is why i love my 6Spds..

vishnus11

Hey dipshit, read the thread before making dumb comments. TypeR has a modded CL with a 3.5 motor and assorted goodies that runs low 13's at the track. A stock LS1 Camaro/Firebird with no bolt ons runs mid to low 13s. Don't seen why TypeR would have trouble taking a stock LS1 Camaro/Firebird especially from a roll, where TypeR's car isn't hampered by a FWD launch.

OMG, this is just lame. Why compare apples and oranges? RWD 300+ HP/Torque stock muscle car vs. a modded FWD V-6 luxo-sport. Just don't get it. Both amazing cars, but one's made for straight line vicous 1/4 launches and runs while the other is supposed to be a blend of sport and luxury so you can pass out a Civic on the highway while absorbing all the highway bumps. Let's just leave it at that. Props for making your CL-S faster than 99% of them out there. Props for a stock muscle car that can hang with most $70k + sport cars, nuff said.

Back on topic. The CLS weight can be overcome with some suspension upgrades. Springs, shocks, sways, tires, & lighter rims will all combine to improve handling. I have no handling complaints with my car. I take turns at high speeds, & can even drift the rear end out if I try.
When it comes to weight my only complaint is off the line traction.

you guys get so off topic, just loose some weight

Wow 12.8s? Where do you live? What are the conditions? Must have been pretty pristine to run those kind of times with just a catback. Wow, I seriously have never seen anything close to those kinds of times here in Hawaii. That would seriously be a miracle.

I love it how it gets so off topic... Its great

typeR

if u think about it it's not that off topic...the thread starter compared our weight to the F body ...then some additional comparisons have been made...in reality wasnt the ifnerance of our weight to do with the power or lack thereof

i love how the thinks that typeR has a stock CL making all his claims.

She is heavy but i still love her and will not abuse her..

Hey retard I know his cars isnt nearly stock...But I do know its a cl-s that only makes 258 hp and traps 105..

bmehling

texas....I have mnay friends who pulled high 12's all day long with there lid/catback ls1's....In 90 degree weather.....

pits200

Don't those cars have over 2 liters on our tiny 3.2 or 3.5L.. Yet they only run a couple 1/10's faster than type r's....

3.2CLS

Go on the LS1 forums, you'll find tons of miracles.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubbles but stock LS1s do run low 13s, with a mid sized cam upgrade along with full exhaust and a lid, you're looking around 340-370rwhp and that's good enough for low 12s, high 11s with a decent driver. So with a cat-back, yeah LS1s run 12.8-13.0 depending on the driver all day long.

Yes we're comparing straight line muscle vs luxury/comfort/some speed, but making the claim that his highly modded CL-S runs with LS1s all day long is just false. Here are just one timeslip:



Right lane, ran 12.6 with lid, intake, exhaust, and 3500stall.



Point is, enjoy that we have a smooth, quiet luxury ride that has some speed, but do not start comparing apples and oranges. LS1 is completely out of our league as our most modded cars run even with an LS1 car with $750 of mods.
