BEETROOT

I need to be faster than my buddies g35c 6 speed.

Will ct headers and an intake get me close? He is a TERRIBLE driver, so I have that going for me.



did a search and didn't really find anything...anyone have any insight?

Zapata

NOS and/or a flat tire for your buddy

F23A4

Sounds like you already got what you needed. ^^^^^^

nooooo zapata....get I/H...and you'll be DAMN close that's for sure...just in case, get the chip exhaust really wont do you any good, and the pulley's harddly add anything also....overall I'd say I/H/Chip, & some new rubber (light weight wheels couldn't hurt ya either )

chef chris

U need Jesus & lots of prayer.



Go get em Beet.

Scrib

Well if that's the case, you could probably beat him if he was driving a corvette.

You'll need a lot, as these cars are trapping at 100mph. That's a lot of power you'll have to make.

But him being a shitty driver, you should be able to beat him almost stock. If he borks the launch badly, you'll win.

BEETROOT

if Jesus will help me win races, I will reconsider my spirituality




but lets saw we both drive perfectly, I will still lose badly with header/cai correct?

what the hell else makes this car fast other than s/c? I'm going to do full exhaust next but I don't think that will make much of a speed different.

Zapata

you'd have to have one fast CLS. Unless he f's the launch up yer toast.

chef chris

Exhaust won't do much but add flavor to the sound...no magic boost.

Just find some Nitrous...shove that in there...it'll run great.

BEETROOT

dammit

Bluto

He'll be in front, but will eventually get run down like a fat kid with asthma.

To keep his lead, I/H.

BEETROOT

I want to be faster than a greased jesus.

I should have bought a mustang.

Scrib

Short of F/I, you'll have a tough time, given equal drivers.

Red-CL

What's F/I ?

Scrib

Forced induction; Supercharger, Turbo...

car_lost

intake, headers, ur pullies, unichip, thermostat, light weight wheels+ sticky tires. with all that, i think you'd be pretty damn close.

also, anyone know if one of those king big bore throttle bodies would help?

blader

I\H\Chip, light wheels and good tires .. and pray hes as bad of a driver as you say he is.

BEETROOT

that unichip is unavailable though right? it was a one time thing?

If he's a bad driver you can beat him with I/E/Tires. I raced one at the track. He pulled a 2.4 60' (shitty launch) and ran 14.6 @ 97 MPH. I ran a 2.1 60' and ran a 14.3 @98 MPH. I/H/Tires will leave it all up to the driving.

There is the possibility of another group buy later on. But we gotta get the first one over with first. :o They should ship on June 1st as long as they don't push the date back again

mattg

you would need to borrow my car.

gto2050

Hardwire his VDC on! That'll do it!

Chaptorial

Get the S/C and the rest of the bolt-on’s and you'll be good to go.

360

Empty out your car floor mats spair everything you can, if you have headers and cold air you should be good ive had my 0-60 5.6 clocked at 1/4 14.007 and if he's abad driver it will be close i think you could take him though.

Scrib

Are you an auto? Slips?

A 14.0 would be the fastest N/A CLS auto I've seen here.

BEETROOT

thats it?







I think it would be much cheaper and easier to just sabotage his car somehow.

Chaptorial

No argument there.

It takes a lot for the CL to become a really quick car.

oonowindoo

put 2 dead bodies in his trunk if you can make it fit

1SICKLEX

F/I should do it real good....

mattg

he probably means g-tech.


johntypes ran a 14.0

joedokes28

A 75shot of NO2 ought to do it.

It's not like its THAT impossible to do buddy

RUF87

Beet, get him to the track and you have a prayer based on my results. You can easily make up .5 secs on lights and another .25 or so on the launch/driving skills.

Most folks who don't race don't take their cars to the limit. So if you're better than average I'd say you have a shoot at beating him.

darrinb

i/h/p should put ya ahead

Nope. i had I/H/P/E/light weight rims auto. It was not as fast as G35C 6mt. Why? i raced my friend's WRX (not stock) when i had my CLS. i lost by about 4 cars length up to 100. and i raced the SAME WRX with G35C 6mt up to 100mph. i only lost by about 1 car length.


i would say unless you get some SC or some NO2 otherwise with normal bolt ons your gonna lose. I KNOW ur friend cant drive then you should win

a 6speed CLS STOCK will NOT beat a stock G35C 6mt considering drivers are equal. (about the same weight, g35c has more HP, ALOT MORE Torq, RWD advantage, better aerodynamic)

but a 6speed CLS with I/H/E/P should be faster than a stock g35c 6mt.

but a 6speed CLS with SC/I/H/E/P vs G35c6mt with i/H/E/P/SC.
then G should walk away from CLS easily.

pimpscls

I/H/E plus pullies and grippy tires, you got your selve a fighting chance, but if you fuck up the launch or one shift you will be seeing some g35c taillights

Just because you raced the guy in his same car twice with two totally different cars doesn't mean your CL-S was slower than your G35C. The conditions were probably different, he could have driven differently, you could have driven differently, etc. Can't really comare those two races and say either car is faster. Too many variables.

Zapata

transitive property doesn't really apply.....

oonowindoo

______________

True. but when you are using 2 different cars to race the same drivers with the same car, you should be able to feel the difference between these 2 cars.
