Well if you wanna go sticker price for sticker price--I guess we can still through a blower in there, along with tires, racing wheels, pullies, plus some - not to mention the H/I



...just thought Id be technical


But w/ just I/H--CL-S would WIN....No doubts!

Thats the biggest ricer excuse I have ever heard. I hate it when people use that logic. Thats like me saying why dont I go and buy a 92 LX and build the motor and put racing brakes/tires on it. Yea it will cost a lot less than a Lexus and will outperform most street cars, but its still not a Lexus.

Don't nobody go starting any fighting I would love to see what those cars can really do. I owned 2 Acura Legends 2dr coupe and 4dr, yes both were GS models. I also raced a STOCK CL-S and I pulled on it after 40+ and was spreading the gap the faster we went. I never said I would beat a Modded CL-S so don't think thats the case, But at the same time don't think you gonna SPANK no GS either even with I/H/E the GS is a Hwy BEAST and I can tell you once it gets going its GONE.

Let me know NOVA!!!!!

"It doesn't matter whether you win by an inch or a mile, winning's winning."

I don't think many will have a problem picking the poorly-acted movie that came from. Another ClubLexus.com'er here to look in on the outcome

typeR, BTW, it's "we'll kill two..." not "will." If you're going to talk smack, get it right.

And do what, race the GS I don't have. Don't get frustrated with me just becuse I corrected your spelling. You wouldn't want a humorless soul like me sucking the life out of Tampa. Stupid correct grammar...what was I thinking

Anyway, the race should be interesting so I'll stick around. Good luck on a clean race guys and keep it safe.

HMMMM, you know...I think NOVA will win. Having driven both GS and Nova's CLS I think I'll give NOVA the edge. NOVA's car is fast as shit off the line.

Both the GS and 540's are heavy and takes a bit to get going. I changed my Rear End Diff to solve that issue, but I'm modded so it doesn't count.

If this race happens, let me know I'll be there with my car too.

GS_400 PUSHER, let me warn you NOVA's car is pretty fucking fast...but you're right about the stock CLS.

Yeah it will be fun. Like I said I'm all about having fun Not like the Mustang guys when they lose they get mad not me. I want to see how fast a Modded CL-S is. I think it would be cool to see Acura and Lexus guys hagging out......We all have Japanese cars!!!!!

im gonna say that florida is a bit to far for me, unless you live in miami..........and then who cares who wins or loses. its cool that this hasnt turned into a flame war and all. and yes, i do expect that we will have a significant increase in members at CL if the acura wins. the race is gonna be determined by a lot of things.....standing/rolling, distance, etc. we'll see. of course my (virtual) money is on pusher. but if anyone lives in atlanta, we can do the damn thang, too:P

shame on you typeR for trying to pull a fast one (no pun intended) i thought the race was for a CL with i/h/e against a GS. from the looks of this here you have quite a bit more (always do your homework boys and girls). but ill tell you what, if we can coordinate a time, ill meet up with you in valdosta for shits and giggles. with 310 hp (at the wheels i presume) i have no chance but i would like to see it.

yeah i read the thread. it seems really nice. on that dyno sheet, the numbers put you within about 10 - 15 hp of my GS4. of course the tq difference is greater. dont really know the specs of the CL as far as weight and gearing, but that might be a helluva race. i think i may need to get a TC and LSD, but we can go like it is. get me some more info on your 3.5, my interest is piqued.........

Yea I read a lot of his kills on the .org. I dont know if i believe him considering he weighs something like 275. A GS430 will rape a modded Maxima. I dont see how a stock 4th gen will keep up

If you MAG race none of the Lexus's are faster than the CL-S 6 speed stock..
Actully bub, the GS 400 is 0-60 under 6 sec car at ANYTIME, ANYPLACE with a low of 5.7 tested in the US (I won't go there with the 5.6 taken overseas).

Some people talk like this ain't THE Japanese Sport/luxury sedan. It's the only sedan that can fock with the vaunted 540......

I ain't see here nobody here meet us at Deal's Gap to SLAY THE DRAGON!!! There was an awesome NSX, S2000 and 996 4WS with us as well.

i dont have the dyno sheet in front of me right now, but if'n i remember correctly max hp was right around 250 and max torque was around mid to high 260. torque peaked at 3500 and doesnt dip below 200 til about redline, which is 6400. max hp comes at around 6G. its time for my 60k tune up and im putting in torquemaster plugs. we had them dyno tested to see if their claims of increased HP/TQ were true and they gained 6hp and 15ft/lbs of torque. check out the results and dyno here let me know if you wanna get together in the near future......

DR Rick...that's amazing you can get that from just plugs! I wonder if they work on Bimmers as well.

Are you stock or modded? I assume modded since you pulled 250ish HP? I assume that stock GS pull anywhere from 230s to 240? I'm surprised your tourque was so low though. I guess I'm just comparing these figures to the 540.

I will have to check out these plugs!

Maximized, Joe WILL RAPE any stock 5th Gen Maxima, even if the drive weighs 80 lbs. Having owned a 98 5spd SE, no way in hell it can beat even a stock CLS...sorry but that's just the way it is. Max is a great car, but kills me when I hear "my MAX with downpipes and exhaust beat a 540", let's get real here...you know some of the MAX guys claim that too.
