02CL-TypeS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raced my CL-S a/t(stock at the time) against a lightly modded 04 Grand Prix GTP Comp G. It had exhaust and a ram air hood that looked pretty mean.

I beat him in 4th gear(should have been in 3rd) from about 75mph-110mph. Heres the thread I started on Grandprixforums.net for the details. Watch as they rip on foreign cars. They don't have any respect...except for like 2 guys

Can't wait to run into this guy again now that I got my headers and I won't give him a break not down shifting.

Actually I just read the first page, and so far they seem like nice guys who know about their cars.

I had to edit my previous post and I couldn't add what I originally posted, so here it is:

The Comp G makes around 270HP or something like that, but you make 260, and weigh much less so the result seems on par with what I would have imagined. However, I'm surprised you pulled him in fourth gear.

Acura CL is an American car. Built by American company. Built with American parts. Built in America.

yea...the first acura built in the US.

Check out the other kill stories on their forum. They diss a skyline, altima 3.5, and TL's. Never seen so much american pride on a forum where their car is far away from the typical american performance car...its a supercharged V6 four door FWD, not 2 door V8 RWD

Apparently we were both in bad gears. I was in the bottom/middle of fourth and he was in the bottom of 3rd.

BTW, I raced a Celica GT last night with a CAI...thought they had the same horsepower as the GTS, but omg that thing was slooooow. Put 3-4 lengths and didnt even get out of second...waste of gas

"Apparently we were both in bad gears. I was in the bottom/middle of fourth and he was in the bottom of 3rd."


that makes more sense as I could not imagine 4th gear in our car to be that strong.

Celica GT uses Corolla's engine with slightly different tune I believe, and it makes 140hp stock.

still funny that I beat him in 4th cause they don't have triptronic. I would have left him standing still if I had my headers and was in 3rd

No doubt. One person on there was absolutely stupified that another member traded in his Z28 for a G35. He just couldn't understand it.....LOL.

Well in terms of speed a Z28 camero is much faster than the G35. As far as refinement, that goes to the G35, and of course the G35 will get more ladies to.

Yeah, the LS-1 is quicker, but still, the rest of the car is so far behind the G as far as quality and style are concerned. I like speed, but the style and quality (2nd Gen G35) make the G the easy win, for me anyway.
