still waiting. It may happen this weekend.
It's been hard to find a good place to open it up and run, because of the sniper attacks right around here.
AS soon that bastard is caught and the cops let off a little, we will do it up. They are literally EVERYWHERE around here.
I'll keep you guys posted!!!! If it wasn't for this sniper this world would be a lot better in more ways than 1!!!

For me as well, but not until HONDA figures out what the word TORQUE means...
Yeah, if they produced a V8, naturally they would have more torque, but our cars are much better than the honda's of old

he's just finishing getting his body kit put on.
We're gonna do it this week. I also ordered a escort passport 8500 off of EBAY today....
STAY TUNED FOLKS....
I think we're just gonna race for fun. I think the $1000 was just to say, "Hey, you ain't gonna win"! :P

Yeah, If he really wants to run a modded CL-S then let him know what a real modded one can do.
Run him for $400 and use the other $600 to get the purple bottle in the back.
Make sure you have some pals around. Or else you may get jacked for the $$ or no money at all if some feelings are hurt and tempers flare.
Get it on video too.

I have never had the opportunity to run a CL-S from the line or midrange; however, I have driven the car. It's not as fast as my GS400. Anything can happen, though.

i have raced a 2002 gs 400 from the line and had my ass burned , by the time we hit 70 he was two car lenghts a head of me.
the is IS 300 is not as fast
your right anything can happen
a kill is a kill and a loss is a loss.
those cars are a great sleeper.

But it does show a CL-S6 capable of running with e GS4xx.CL-S6 VS GS400
SC430 vs CL-S6
BTW, I now have my fuel misfire issues sorted out...

The other video is against my father-in-law in his SC430.
Actually it was hard to launch on that day, I couldn't do more than about 900 - 1k revs at the start with slipping the clutch. Any more than that resulted in significant wheel spin. My father-in-law, who cannot begin to spin the tires on the street, was spinning too much as was Rick. Not to mention being in central Georgia along with a head wind; needless to say times were a bit down for all. But I was happy with the comparative results as I expected Rick to pull on me at the higher speeds.

I can't remember what size rims dustbuster4 had on his CL that day at the track ( I think they were 18s), but he was a 1/2 sec slower than when he ran with his STOCK wheels (he said) oh and he is a really cool guy!.

I will be sticking with the stock rims. I tend to do this along with no other external visual changes. Just keep the changes under the hood and even then keep it stock looking. But that will be hard to do when I get the SC installed...

Yeah I have to admit your car has some pretty good top-end! I tell you what tho dont put any after market rims on your car unless you go smaller and lighter. I went to the track after my TC install and ran a 14.3 but it was on my 20s. People still were like WOW thats quick for that big 4dr car! I was hoping to beat my 13.9 but didn't. I know if I put my STOCK 17s back on I will be in the mid 13s with out a problem but I love the look of the 20s on my car I can't remember what size rims dustbuster4 had on his CL that day at the track ( I think they were 18s), but he was a 1/2 sec slower than when he ran with his STOCK wheels (he said) oh and he is a really cool guy!.
did you say your car pulls 13s stock? i don't know man, i spnked the shit out of a gs400, sc400 and this was when my cl was stock.
so are you sure your car is bone stock(besides the rims)?
