Ok guys, I'm not one to post about kills... But this morning, something left me thinking.
I was coming down a major highway, when a CL-S jump from behind me and pass me up on my right... I took off, with him having a two car lenght lead... before I knew it, we were up to 100 MPH... I slowly caught up to hime and by the time I past him, I was doing 125MPH...

Know.. the catch to this scenario is that once I past him, he exited right after... I don't know if he was slowing down to make that exit or did my TL-P w/ the mods listed below did it for me.

And here is my real question, if a stock TL-P is 125HP plus my bolt on, you could say (for the sake of discussion) I'm somewhere around 145 -150HP, and the CL-S is 160 stock, if the driver is not confident (good) 10-15HP diffrence is not that big of a boost, considering the cars are the same, weight, design, etc. Specially with me having better ground control with the Tein's SS, and the sways and struts. Let me know what you think.

ummm add 100HP to your stock #'s (225 and 260)...and with those mods, you probalby could keep up - but with your 19's....I dont know, he was probably slowing down more than you were catching up.

 

My bad... 225 and 260 Maybe, my 19's are very light. Maybe that's it, he was slowing down. Just wanted to hear some of your opinions.

 

he was probably slowing down or he realized how fast he was going and realized how stupid it was to be driving that fast. I still think even with your mods you won't be as fast as a stock TL-S. Someone of your mods aren't performance mods and doesn't make the care faster, just nicer.
