Ran An 04' Tl Today

i was going down central ave. (montclair CA) just about to get on the 10 freeway going west. this tl comes flying around me cuts me off to get in front of me. i assumed he wanted to play.
he took the on ramp corner very nicely and then jumped on it.
he had the jump on me but i was able to even up with him.
it took everything i had to keep up with him in third gear.
we let off and got in the fast lane. we had an opening so we jumped over a lane (tl still in front of me) got on it again this time we were already doing 85mph. this is when i realized it was an auto transmission. i climbed all over him in 4th gear, no contest. but forget about the speed i was impressed with how quickly it took that corner with no problem. this tl was silver with a body kit, looked like it had 18's on it. could it have been an A-spec? don't know if that car is out yet.

03' cl-s 6 w/navi, eibach pros, falkin ziex, drop in k&N/modded air box, u-haul trailer hitch pulling 02' sea-doo sportster LT.
Who needs an suv when you have a cls?
