Silver CL-S on the 5S this evening.

Was driving with a friend tonight back from Valencia to Glendale in his 6spd 540.

Some dipshit in a Silver CL-S kep trying to bait him into racing, and wouldnt get the clue of not interested. My friend is not some immature street racer, and certainly not stupid enough to bomb around on post downpour roads in the dark.

Now, this is not a flame starting thread, I love the CL-S (the 6spds) and hell I own a 1st gen, so im in the family.

But unless you are supercharged or running nitrous, do you really think you stand a chance against a manual 540??? That shit would have left you in the dust.

My point is:
1) keep racing on a sanctioned track, not a busy highway post rain.
2) if you are going to race (legally) find an evenly matched car.

Has nothing to do with the fact that its an Acura, other then this is a CL board. Therefore I found it amusing and posted to see if it was anyone on here.

And thats cool, Im not saying 540s are gods among cars, but they are fast mothers, but c'mon if you saw a guy just isnt going to race, youd think youd leave well enough alone?

But isn't that the whole reason for trying to bait your friend in the first place? Maybe he was supercharged or had nitrous. Usually the smart ones don't bait unless they got a surprise.

Yeah if your friend wan't interested that CL driver should have gone on his way. I'm sure he got the message but some people never learn.
