Were all so very proud of you
I have also never beat a C-5 vette all things being equal for example. Hang with at hwy speeds to an extent but never have beaten one.

I think the CLS/TLS can hang but to beat a stock GS4 we need a few mods. Its tough making up for the 70-80 tq, especially when you consider the fact that the GS is only about 300 lbs heavier.
DrRick, your gs looks hot!

I suppose your saying the6 speed and slush-box are the equivalent in performance times,
and the GS400 can win if the driver isn't a "dork" or
has his weight set in the trunk. So, my buddy at work must be
a "dork" who go beat by a cl twice :P
and personally i don't give a shit, but you come across as a
egotistical gs owner that needs to feel superiority on
a cl web site. How do you like them psychoanalysis apples.

psychoanalysis apples.
But hey, "I am whatever you say I am"
I guess having any other car owner with a better car makes you feel inferior, or is it the girls? I don't feel inferior when guys with oh, 5 or 6 cars on ClubLexus post their stuff about Supercharged engines, or M.B. forums where some dudes got SL 55s on order and have a Ferrari as a weekend car. Nope, I try to LEARN from these dudes, as they are in a better position than me.
So CL is for CL owners only and BMW for BMW owners only etc?

Funny you ask that typeR, we took our cars to the track with some other ClubLexus buddies a few months ago. It was a RIOT!!! People with their Supras and Vettes and WRX's were looking at us like we were NUTS. Out times SUCKED, I pulled a 14.9 with my AC on (duh)! We never tracked before, some people had luggage (Coming from out of town) and the experienced racers we spoke to said the track sucked as no one was meeting their expected time. The inexperience showed!
2 runs in what 8 hours!!!!
But we had a blast going to the track and I am sure we will go back (to a much better one).
I'll let ya know when the FL boys get up!

like sick said, we went back in feb. what was funny was that all of the stock GS's were faster than the modded ones. i ran a 15.1 with NO traction. my trap was 98 or 99 though. 60' ft times sucked as well. first time at a drag strip and it was incredible. i did beat a modded 78 camaro with a 355. but got dusted by a LX 5.0 driven by a girl. not to make excuses, but no one ran worth a crap that day. single turbo supras were only in the mid 13's so that should tell you something. i plan on heading back to a better track (reynolds) that is south of atlanta and see what happens. btw, there was a guy there with a red legend (i think it was a 6 sp) although i dint get to chat with him. oh and thanx for the compliment ferizzo. i get my rod millen grill installed in the morning. holla......Doc

I am trying to have an intelligent conversation and you want to fucking argue.....C'mon dude, your taking things to literal, I don't know you, you don't know me. If you want to CONTINUE this argument, you will lose badly.

To each his own. I bought the GS 4 cause I:
1. Loved the looks
2. Previous ownership experience
3. Performance
4. Space
5. My "reasonable" dream car..
BMW, and other car companies have not really gave me an arguement to leave, I am happy owning it..
Can't wait for this though!

I can believe the CLS and GS4 were neck to neck, but only off the line. It boils down to the launch. With a good launch, the CLS pontentially would beat an M3 with a bad launch.
I always told NovaWhiteTypeS that his modded CL would do really well against my modded 540 off the line. CLs strong point against both V8's are off the line, but moving start the V8's have a bit too much for the CLS.
Thoro, nice race! Maybe we'll meet at the next CLS meet!

Nah, dubs are not for me. Actually, the car was at the dealer Friday to get shocks/springs installed but they would not have finished my car in time for the meet....
How's the 540? Still keeping it?
