i'm racing my friends 9-5 aero after work, and seriousyl dont underestimate those. i drove it yesterday and that fucker is quick. He's gonna give me a run for my money but i dont think he'll come out on top, what do you guys think?

 

my dad used to have a 99, 9-5 aero and theyre damn fast, mad top end. Should be a good race.

 

?

let us know

g/l

 

no dice man those fuckers are fast! i didn't have traction either but i wasn't gaining until about 90 then i started passing

 

How could it be so close? I thought those things were doing 0-60 in 6.7 and 1/4 at about 15.1??? That's about an Auto CL-S's times, but a 6-spd???

 

i repeat i didn't have traction which means spinning the tires through 2nd gear

 

My dad has a 2001 9-5 aero and itll do the 6.7-6.8 and 15.1 that you are talking about. One small factor is that its automatic...the five speed is a bit quicker. Also, it depends on what year the aero is. the 2002 went from 230 hp to 250. The torque went up as well..not sure what the 2002 has but the 01 had 258 lb/ft. Also in 2002 the auto aero got a five speed automatic instead of the old 4-speed...find out what year it is, either way the 5 speed mauals are pretty fast when the garrett turbo hits its peak boost of 19.6lbs.

 

it says (02) on the topic. its a quick fucker, i just had a bad launch, but we're going again soon cuz now he's on an ego trip and i have to stop that

 

uh, who is running in the 15's here? i think its been established, stock cl auto's run 14.7-.8.

 

nothing is "established"

some cars run mid 14's, some into the 15's, each car is different

the 6 speed is faster, if it can hook up

when i drove titand's 6, i could not keep the wheels from spinning and got terrible times with a g tech. i have been driving a stick for more then 30 years, this car is a FUCK to launch.
