T/A WS6, Turbo Cobra, G8 GT, New M3 and SuperCharged 2003 Acura CL-Type S
 

These are not my races but thought you guys would like to see a CL-Type S running with the big dogs... the G8 GT ran a 13.5 in the 1/4 so this should give you an idea of how fast the Acura is... I would have loved to see a V going at it with these guys but still liked the outcome of the races... The WS6 is closer in performance to the V so it gave me an idea of how I would have done... hope you guys enjoy

That Cobra's pretty damn stout to catch and destroy a 108 mph car after it finally found traction. Still, LS1 F-Bodies are such a great bang for the buck. Would've liked to see that Cobra trounce the M3!

On a side note, it's always cool to watch low torque, high horsepower cars running high torque cars; for the first couple seconds it always looks like they're done, then they start stretching their legs.

If you're a member on that forum you should tell that guy that wants to see a SC TL that SC's are old hat here, and that 400+ whp turbo TL's are all the rage!

Yeah, I've been wanting to run a 04+ turbo TL for ever... I think a SC TL would be a nice race for me but I'm sure id still take the win...

I even made a post a year or 2 ago asking someone with a SC or Turbo 04+ TL to run me but never got any takers... I think we just don't have any in my neck of the woods...

Yeah, SC 6MT TL's don't see more than 107-108 mph. There are a couple vids on youtube of Type-S09 edging out a slightly modded LS-1 up top. IIRC, he was making ~325 whp. I bet a fully bolted/cammed/tuned 6MT 3.2 could come pretty close to that.

It really is a shame that 95% of these guys doing turbos and SC's on TL's seem to have zero interest in actually focusing on traction and going to the track. I'm guessing the ~375 whp turbo cars are good for highish 12's @ ~111-113 on street tires. Slicks could get that way down, although axles could become a real problem.

Good post...I love all the vids! but a turbo Termi should be making AT LEAST 800-1000RWHP not 500 like they said. People get 550-600 to the wheels on ported stock blowers and up to 8-900 with big whipples and KBs

I can't believe that Trans Am got walked by that M3...he had to have had something done..

Why do you think that? A bone stock M3 traps 112-113 mph all day. Looks like a normal walk for a 4-5 mph higher trap speed than the T/A.

suprised to see everyone on a domestic site gave the CL props..

good stuff. that cobra really came alive when his wheels caught.

I hit the track months ago when I was still on my first tune with about 340whp. I ran a 13.8 @ 107 with a horrible 60 of 2.7 (Im auto). At the time I was unable to build boost off the line.

After a re-tune and some more boost I was pushing 410whp. I was putting 3-5 car lengths on srt8 chargers from 70-130. Never had a chance to go back to the track b.c i suffered a cracked ringland on the #6 piston.

In the process of re-building the motor with pauter rods and 9:1 weisco pistons. Shooting for 450ish to the wheels. With the new ecu giving me the ability to build boost off the line and a built motor, Im hoping to run very low 12's and trapping near 120mph

^ It's good to see the 5ATs holding power after putting in the correct fluids & other maintenance items.

I look forward to seeing your thread in the Racing & Competition forum!

Good to hear! You certainly had the power, if not the traction to get into the 12's with 340 whp.

Would've loved to see the looks on the faces of those SRT drivers. Keep us posted on your progress!

this..

i thought to myself 13.8 with 340 whp:what:
i can break 13's with bolt-ons

400+ is runnin some serious power in a TL though... keep us posted!

thats me in the cl in the vid and ill be hitting up the track on some mickey tompsons this summer so ill post some track times

Your telling me. Im very surprised to say the least. I have a spare tranny just in case something catastrophic happens.

It was also my very first time going to the track. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement. Not being able to build boost off the line combined with lag up to 2800rpms really hurt. I also bounced off the rev limiter in 2nd gear a few times.


A few srt guys gave me the finger lol

LOL, they flipped you off? It's amusing to see muscle car drivers get their asses handed to them and then see them act like little kids.

and MOAR boost :wish:

Man your ride moves out for sure! Do me a favor and post up on LS1tech.com bro.. they would love to get your side of the race too! We have a few cool ass imports that are there too...

oo yeah deff gonna have the high boost pulley on it

Nice clean races guys everything looked good. I liked that turbo mustang!

that sounds like a hell of a plan; curious, anything extra holding the AT together? valve body, etc?
