TQ > MPG
I agree. 14.2 @ 98mph is pretty quick for a fwd v6 automatic, but it's not going to impress most people at a drag strip. Hell, my Mustang runs nearly identical to that and I think it's slow as shit. You don't really have a "fast" car until you run 12's in 100% street trim, imo.

the alt @ the track is 600 feet john
i gotta agree w/ everyone esle, 14.2 is good for my car but its not fast at all, i think a quick car is high 13's low 14's, a fast car is low-mid 13's, anything 12 and under is just fast as fuck, but if i was only worried about 1/4 times i wouldnt be in this car...

I guess there's hope for the CL-S auto yet..
BTW: how do you start off the line? (rpm, etc) and are you using "sport-shift"?

I just ran a 10.132 at 144 mph in my G35!!!! 
Seriously....good times Darren. I've never done the quarter in any of my cars, but I suppose I would try it. It looks fun, but tires for the G sure are pricey!!!! Nice work, young man.

why is a 14.2 so unbeleivable? the dude has all the basic bolt ons...not a big deal everybody with those mods can run a 14.2 with a nice low temp outside.
my 02 CL-S ran 14.3@99 with just obx headers, and comptech springs...no other mods...no CAI, no pulleys, no exhaust, nothing...that was gate shifting with an empty trunk and gas tank.

The GN has a 3.8 Liter motor with a Garrett Turbo, not an SC. Was that S/C appreviation for something else??
A stock GN is capable of running low 14's to high 13's.

The CL only loses power in high humidity and really hot temp's. A 40 degree day compared to a 60 degree day won't make much of a difference at all. The colder it is outside, the harder it is for the stock tires to hook up.

2) It's heavy as sh*. Maybe heavier than my Tankura
3) My friend rode the short-bus--so i'll probably get him on reaction time for sure! :-D
It doesn't matter tho. It'll be fun to see what this car will do (legally) ..will post if/when.
Again, need more mods.. ;-)

That heavy as shit car pulled higher numbers on the skid pad than your CLS. And is faster stock than your CLS will be with all of the bolt ons.
Do some reading on the GN.
Ya you could beat the driver, but that's all you'd be beating.
