I wonder if a Toyota Solara 2005 SLE with the 3.3L VVTi v6 motor with 225hp and 240ft lbs of torque can smoke a CL Type-S with 260hp and 232ft lbs of torque. Any opinions?

 

I'll slap you around the city if you lose that race Jerry.

 

I would doubt it. It would still lose to a 5A, and I'm pretty sure a 6MT CL-S would tear up the solara.

 

all i can tell ya is that solara can hop lol. Btw ED don't forget I own a CL-P not a type-s so It's a close race for me since i have 225horses with 217ft lbs of torque.

 

Oh gawd.. CL-S's will kill Solara's day in and day out

 

^^ Hey, two more posts for 4000!

 

^^ Yay, 4000 posts, sorry for the hijack here!

the solara has no chance...unless the CL-S driver fucks up really bad

 

Slaughter her, I'm assuming it's a female because it's a chick car.

 

and an old people car...my dad had one and gave it to my sister...her's is a stick and i'm not thinkin it'll hang with a type-s...unless it's blown...and obviously that's another story

 

I have driven the Solara and there would be no contest. It would get spanked by the CL-S.

 

I bet it comes with the lip prints already in the seat.

Not even close man...

 

Dude you could prob hang with the manual 05 Solara in your CL-P, you'd walk an auto. They are teh slow without TRD butting in.

 

The TRD supercharger for the Solara isn't even that impressive.

 

Ok, well in that case they are teh slow all around.

 

My uncle wants me to trade in my car but the thing is he'll only chip in if the next car i get is auto. I want a manual so bad but he won't let me because of the fact he doesn't like manual.

 

So get an auto GTO with 400 horses.

 

Raced one the other day. From about 10 mph. She wanted to get in front of me and for some reason thought her car was fast...


it was not

 

You have many more options than a Solara if you want an auto, don't lower yourself by getting rid of your CL-S

 

I don't own a CL-S I own a CL-P lol.

 

CLP's still nicer than a solara anyday.

 

I would never buy a Slowlara.

 

Come to think of it, I've NEVER seen a guy driving a Solara. Then again, I think the majority of Toyota/Lexus buyers are women.

As far as this thread, the new Solara powertrain is the best it's ever had. That said, the CL-S would waste it ridiculously.

 

Could A CL-P eat it up as well?

 

i would think so, esp if its auto.

if u want to make sure get i/h and you will be game

 

Possibly..... AFAIK, they only run mid-low 7 0-60 times: well within CL-P range and measurably slower than the CL-S 5AT.

 

I beat a Solara before and I had a heavy system with 19's and 2 ppl in my car! you should be fine...
