Some friends and i went friday. one of them having a CL TYPE S AUTO.

My best run of the nite would be my 14.71 at 93.58

60ft was - 2.223

i was running CONSISTENT 14.8's ALLLLLL DAY.

my best Trap Speed would be 94.83

my best 60ft would be the 2.223

i Couldnt get traction all nite but it was all good. all i have done is AEM CAI.

spare tire in car EVERYTHING

i also raced my friends CL-S a couple of times

1st time he spun like crazy and i left him.
2nd time i ACCIDENTLY left it in d4 and got him by a car.
he has COMPTECH INTAKE.
3rd time he spun again and i left him.

all in alll im pretty proud of my car...considering my friends best was a 14.8. we had pretty similar times...

BTW i know i prob couldve did better but YES i know i shouldnt of but i ran my car like 11 times. in 2-3 hrs.. i didnt let the car cool down =(. o well next time. I KEPT getttin called out. =P

Same here guys, whenever any of you want to go to Baytown let me know. I have never been there & don't know where it's at.

I don't want to go by myself b/c I'll be a noob there & wouldn't know the rules. Besides it would be fun if there are more TL together.

Armanixsouljah, did you use SS to get that time & did you beat any other cars?

I'm thinking of heading out there but I'll probably wait for my bro to finish his del sol. My car is in the shop right now as well but when it comes out...I'll give it a thought.

Wow, excellent runs. Pretty much the same times as I did. What was the weather like? I can't wait til I go back because now I have the Icebox! BTW, I agree that SS will yield the fastest times provided you know it like the back of your hands (which basically means you can shift at the precise RPMs while taking the shift lag into consideration).

I don't know when they open up. I remember going there a few years back for a race but it got canceled due to bad weather...Hopefully one day I'll get to run my TL and finally know for sure what it is capable of ...
