- 2007 ES350: Stock. No Passengers. 6AT.
- 2003-2004? LS: Unknown mods. No Passengers. Unknown Transmission.

Coming home like 30min ago, I was at a stop light with a Lincoln LS on my right. We both had music playing, but his was BLARING. So the light turns green and I turn left kind of fast to get away from him and then I see his car pull next to mine. He stays there for a split second and guns it. I was only a split second behind. We both went at about 30-35mph. It took me a little while but, I caught up and passed him. I kept going till I pulled about 1.5 car lengths and shut it down. When I got to the next light to make a left, he was right behind me. So as we turned I signaled him to get next to me so we could get a proper one in. As soon as I made room for him to come up, he took off into the night and I didn't bother chasing after him...
Oh well, got him the first time anyways.

CLIFFS:

- ES350 vs LS from a 30-35mph roll.

- LS got the jump.

- ES reeled him.

- ES pulled 1.5 cars and shut down.

- 30mph - 80mph.

- Wam, bam, thank you ma'am!

lol. I forgot whose signature that is..

 

To be expected. The LS V8s only come with autos and are good for very high 14s or low 15s. The LS V6s with the 5MT do low 15s. The auto V6s do mid 15s.

 

The ES350 should make short work of the Lincoln LS V8. (I'm going to assume you're referring to the V8 model as even the ES300 could give the LS V6 a good run for the money.)

So, as Dave pointed out, the outcome is to be expected.

 

I raced a LS V8 and managed to pull...they aren't that fast...

 

Hmm, well it took me longer than I expected to reel him and pass him. Oh well.

 

That is about what I expected as well. I raced a 2003 LS V8 in my accord when I had just intake. I had him by a full car up to about 90 or so. Good run! The ES350 is good for mid 14's at best! They are sleepers!

 

So a LS V8 would be nothing for me to worry about with my TL then?

Yeah, the ES350's really are sleepers. Between the TL and the ES350, by how much would the ES win? From a dig and a roll. I just want to know how much my dad's got me by.

 

I'd love to run your TL in my accord

The ES350 should make short work of the TL. Off the line and from a roll. The camry 3.5L can run a 14.3 stock if launched correctly. The slightly heavier ES would probably be capable of 14.5 - 14.7(Stock) without much trouble. It would be a great run with a stock 07-08 TL-S auto.

 

If only you were in SD. I'm sure an AV6 will get me soon enough, and you already know I'll post a thread about it.

Damn. Dad's still got me.

 

My sister just moved to SD and I am only 6 hours away in tucson. Next time I roll down there we will have to have a friendly run.

 

Oh..ok then. It's gonna' happen eventually.

 

Nice kill.
