Modded TLS vrs Stock 6 speed
My brother and I took our cars to Etown because we live around the corner just to use their entrance ramp as a strip. For those of you that don't know, I have an '03 CLS manual completely stock (except for comptech springs) and my brother has an '02 TLS with Comptech Headers, Springs, and AEM CAI. We ran about 10 times going from the entrance gate in the back towards the entrance way in the front, before the curve. I had a Gtech that we were playing with also, so we were just doing 0 - 70 runs. Here is what happened:
I destroyed my brother, by 1 car length at least, every time. On the Gtech, I ran 0 - 60 times of 6.03 - 6.28, while he ran times from 6.7 - 7.0. This does not seem right to me. I weigh about 50 lbs more then him, and my car has 3k miles while his has 7k miles.
I would think that a modded TLS would be able to hang with a manual CLS, no? What do you guys think, my brother's car broke?? And I drove his too using sportshift and auto, and sportshift was faster.

I really don't think it is tires, it may not be running that well, but I am not sure. TLS's might just be that slow, I am not sure. I have to check his actuator, and I have heard that the computer needs time to adjust to his mods.
Can't somebody do some crazy analysis, or speculation on how the race between my car and his should be? Read above for the details, but his car is acting like an unmodded TLS IMO.
Thanks in advance for any insight/help.
