TL-S siting.........

On Sunday at approx 12:45pm, westbound on Irving, I spotted a Red TL-S. At first I thought it was an old guy, but then the kid started following me when I noticed he wanted some action. I wasn't really interested because that would mean sitting up from my comfy driving position and embarrassing this poor guy in front of his girlfriend who was riding shotgun. Your car is pretty though ! I have the plate number but wont mention them. FYI, you wouldv'e gotten killed something fierce !

You'll understand when your car is fast enough... when you are fast, and I mean truly fast, it's enough to just know you didn't want to embarrass them.

That particular day I was driving my 95 Eclipse. My usual daily drivers are my 1g CL and the Mark 8 you see in my avatar. All of which could wipe the floor with the guy who had the smart comments about the mustang.

And no, the TL-S and I did not run. Just trust me, it wouldv'e been no contest.

Well I would hope your stable of mega fast cars could wipe the floor with a mostly stock 4 door family car, or they wouldn't be so mega fast, would they?

Why would I start some crap when I obviously couldn't back it up? My car is a slow 03 maxima, yours are mega fast... I have no chance. All I can hope for is that you would spare me like you did the red TL driver.

I hope the Eclipse is boosted...if not then YOU were the one that got spared. Same goes for the CL.

The Mark 8s are not too quick from the factory...I'd assume you have some goodies on these 3 cars to be able to crucify a 3rd gen TL-s, as you have described...if not then

This has to be the dumbest post I've seen in R & C. Spare him? Then post about it? There are numerous people I "spare" on the road, but dont go bragging about on their forum that "I spared you." Prove it OR sit down and STFU.

did he show you under the hood. or are you just assuming your non GST/GSX eclipse is fast enough to beat every TL-S on the road..

alot of guys have broken into 13's with their TL... a select couple in 12's...

you assume you spared him... i say your lucky you didnt meat the right TL. he probably thought the same about your base 95 eclipse i'd say dont post the story unless you actually cleaned house on him..

I hope it's boosted or something, if he's going to beat my slow maxima with it.

I think he was kidding

1) The CL must be boosted if he has any shot with a TL-s, and must be pushing some good PSI #s if he's hanging with Slow

2) The Mark 8 is NOT a fast car...maybe it's on par with a stock 5AT TL, 6MT wouldn't be a contest

3) He may be like the kid that ran my 2 friends with his boosted Eclipse running 18lbs, well, so he said...08 Altima 6MT with I/E/Ypipe/tune destroyed him as well as the 09 WRX stage 2.

The WRX is fast!

OP - I just have a little 3.0L Accord...you should be able to talk me with all those cars mentioned...right....?

If the Mark 8 has some serious mods, it could be pretty fast. If it's just boltons and tune well he'll need more than that.

I believe the Eclipse in question is a GS-T and is "known" to be a 14.0@104 car from a money race he had with some CL guy at the track a year or 2 ago. I would hope it's quicker than that now or more than half his stable may get embarrassed by my slow 4 door tank of a Maxima.

He says that the 95 is a GS-T (which is FWD) with a turbo swap and supporting mods. It would need to be more than just a GT28 or something to pick on my Maxima, but it definitely has potential to be fast! But if it's still a 14 second car as shown in his videos @ the track meet with that CL-S, then he doesn't have a shot in hell.

Some of you newschool bench racers are hilarious at best. Others actually have some validity to their points. Get one thing straight fellas, Im not new to this ! Yes it is a GS-T that we're talking about here and it is a known fact that the car ran a best of 14 in the 1/4 years ago when I had a stock t25 and a few bolt ons. Stock street tires, stock axles, 15psi, full weight, and me being a rookie fwd driver didn't help things in the launch department. I HATE FWD ! But now, 3 years later, are you actually willing to put your reputations, your family cars and your money on the line against someone who use to do this for a living? FYI, none of you would stand a chance in hell against the Linc and my other eclispe cant even be driven on the street. 91 AUTO GSX, 850 to the wheels.

To the ones with the big mouths who missed the whole point in my original post, when you want to go for a lil ride and venture over to Chicago area, let me know we'll set something up. The cooler the weather the better !

My 1G cl is bone stock, not fast at all. I would only race it for S%@*s and giggles.

Lookie here, unless the TL has slicks, NOS, vtec stickers, gutted out, a flux capacitor and a parachute out back, Im not too worried. There may be 1 or 2 TL's in the world thats worthy but I havent seen one roun' here !
