Had a good run with TWO other CL-S's today.

Driving on 270 southbound today around 10:30am. One black '03 CL-S behind me, one black '03 CL-S infront. We were crusing down at 100+. The one behind me must have had headers or was a 6-speed becuase he pulled on me pretty hard. He also drove like an idiot. Swerved around the other two of us near the end of our run in an exit lane. He had 35% tint and NAVI. It was fun seeing a streak of black CL-S's at 100+ for a lil bit there.

I'm sure by 10:30 the traffic was fairly light.

Why do we always have to justify ourselves everytime someone posts they drove 100+ or "raced"

1) We weren't racing. We were actually cruising in a single file line around 105.

2) Only at the end did the tail car swerve around us.

3) There was no traffic at all.

I can remember 5 cars cruising over 90mpg on 95 leaving from Boston one night, three of them cut 4 lanes to an exit, me and the Jetta kept going, then I passed a cop when I was doing 90+ and then I slowed down.

I wouldn't say it is "safe" but it is much safer than city or neighborhood streets.

This is an 8 lane highway (4 north, 4 south) with 2 additional lanes per side for local traffic and exit ramps

Racing?

I've converted to the track, it's much more realistic anyway. Everyone's on the same playing field and there's no excuses. It's also a controlled environment, no kids or animal running across the highway unexpectedly. Don't get me wrong, Ive tried all the other BS (street racing, running from cops, etc) but I'm lucky to be alive.

It wasn't a race. Over half the time I wasn't even WOT. It was more of a "cruise." If it was a race I would have lost to the car behind me. He obviously was a 6speed or had headers because he pulled on my bumper pretty good and I have a pretty quick CL-S (14.5@96). My only mod is the IceBox.....but not for long.... SOMEONE SELL ME THEIR CT HEADERS!!!!!!!!!
