Killing Spree...
Nothing too exciting but I hadn't really had a "Street Encounter" in months.
First, latest model Supercharged Bonneville was riding my ass, 45 MPH, I switch lanes and speed up to 50 mph and I hear him gun it. Obviously I did as well and pulled a good 12+ cars on him when I shut it down at 120.
Next was a stock (I think) SSM TL-S. I took off from a traffic light at about 50% throttle, the TL-S stayed with me so I punched it, broke the tires loose (VSA off) and pulled about 10 cars at least by the top of 2nd gear.
Lastly was a hooked up civic hatch. Went from a 40 MPH roll. He hung with me pretty evenly until 75 MPH where I pulled about 3 lengths and shut it down shortly after VTEC in 3rd.
All of this with about 350lbs of equipment in the trunk for work.
Boost observations: Hits 7psi when I nail it, although by 6000 rpms boost is back between 5.5psi and 6psi. About where the HBP should sit. Although having it hit 7.5 psi and staying pegged at 7.5 psi once I shift into 4th gear is quite the rush and makes VTEC hit really really quickly after the shift.

2002 CL-S
295whp/243wtrq
13.30@108MPH

Allmotor made that number on his previous turbo setup I believe, and Scalbert made that with his S/C and I/C setup at 8psi.
None of the cars I "raced" weren't that fast, except the civic. But then again, all it takes is about 190-210 whp in an EP civic hatch to keep up with or beat me. They weigh about 1000lbs less than the CL-S

Played with a stock S4 today on the way back from Pitt on the turnpike. Lots of runs up to 120. He couldn't hang though. I have too much fun in this thing...
