I'am driving north on the 170 freeway around the north hollywood area at about 2pm when all of a sudden a white G35 coupe rolls up on me fast. He then slams on his brakes and throws his flasher's on. I then drop it in SS and leave it in 3rd. He looks over at me and laughs like, yeah right are you serious. So i say lets go we both hit and before you know it i'am already a car ahead then 2 cars. He lets off and doesn't even bother until about 3 miles up the freeway when i'am about to get off. He follows me off the freeway and we get to a stop light and he says to me, know lets see who's car is faster now. I turn the tcs off, light turns green and we are off. I jump out about half a car and and keep pulling away from him. This guy gives me the biggest respect ever and tells me he will never race a TL-S again. I said that's right respect the A then he drove off.

You are asking for it man. I feel some FLAME coming on. Our car cant even take the G35 sedan. The 6 speed cl might be a closer competition with the g35 sedan. No you are talking about the coupe. I think that guy you raced dont know how to drive his car. There is no way that a g35 coupe will loose to out TLS. unless you got a turbo under the hood. There is a thread somewhere that state that even with a super charger out TLS might still have trouble so I dont want to bust your bubble but there is NO WAY your tls can take the g35. I am sure everyone agree.

Natismati

i disagree on the part where you said that we can't even take on the g35 sedan. thats crap. i have smoked those things like it was a cigarette and i didnt smoke in 4 days.

GoldTL

yeh don't the coupes have at leats 270hp stock??? They are not that heavy either.

1fasttl

Maybe you don't know how to drive your car or you have a TL-P. I have everything done to my car that i can except a supercharger. So don't sit there and tell me that i cant take the g35 coupe. I raced a 350z on thursday night. He was 6spd and the first race of course he got me cause he's stick but we raced again and i asked for the go and he could not catch me.

GoldTL

i wish i had a tl-s. My tl-p sucks

And it's naples gold

Natismati

dont hi jack his shit son.

BAYarea TL-S

i raced a 350z last night on da freeway from about 50 -90 mph and i had a slight jump by a second at MOST and he did not pull up more than but a few feet per scond it seemed.. he was modded and i have a stock TL-S... i dont think he knew how to drive it but he did have a riculously big wing for a 350z.

brado

wow, i didnt know a TL-S had TCS...oh wait, they dont! maybe you meant VSC. but still, nice try.

umm...isn't it VSA? (atleast it is in the CL-S)

btw, name your mods please

uncleb

damn, that is crazy, if u beat that guy from a stop, i'm sure he drives like a clown. and u drive like a champ!!!! hey, a win is a win, he didn't say his tl-s can beat any g35, he said he beat that fool driving the white g35....

1fasttl

Hey smart ass. You know what i meant by tcs but if you want to get technical it's VSA.

I conclude that he did in fact beat a g35c

Hey i just got done reading your thread. Also nice kill

drcookie

hhmm... Type-S with TCS ... something fishie ....

fsttyms1

they have TCS

1fasttl

Another dumb ass.

1fasttl

TCS Traction Control System for some of the dumb asses on this thread. That's the other throttle body in front of the main throttle body

BLaCk Acc

do u kno if it was stick or auto??
If it is auto its definetly believable
if its stick hmm dont know, but then again its possible he has most of the mods u can do to a TL-S.
Good kill!

WTF is wrong with a TL-P? Mod the car, before you say anything. A modded TL-P can rock most cars on the road.

I love my TL-P.

ChucksCL-S

A G35 coupe ran with me last month on the freeway from 50 to 90 full out both cars wailing.....dead tie. He stayed on my rear bumper the whole way ( but was in the left lane) and when we broke it off he hadn't gained at all. I have a '00 TL-P with I/H/E/P and the Mugen cooling system upgrades. Stock wheels as well.

BAYarea TL-S

whoa that is almost identical to what happened to me against a 350z the other night, except i have a stock type S

fsttyms1

and whos the dumb ass? TCS is controlled by the computer and applies the brakes in the same manner that ABS does but reversed, instaed of trying to keep them from locking up, it tries to keep from spinning

LiQiCE

??? From what I recall, there is a 2nd throttle body on the Type S models. It maybe specifically for VSA and not TCS, but IIRC it has to do with the VSA system. From what I recall, didn't the TL-P guys who were trying to put the TL-S throttle body on the car have some minor fitment problems because the TL-S throttle body connects to a 2nd VSA related throttle body first?

And just remember, anything is possible on the road. Maybe the guy in the G35 Coupe was just really bad at driving stick. Or maybe it was an auto ... The G35 Coupe Autos are not nearly as fast as everyone is making them out to be. A stock G35 Coupe Auto could be taken by a TL-S with the mods that this guy has. I forget what an auto G35 Coupe runs, but with his mods, the TL-S should be good for a low 14 run. Even the G35 Coupe 6spd was "only" putting down low 14s in the magazines (C&D April 2003, 1/4 mile: 14.2 @ 100mph). Lightweight wheels and sticky tires could be a factor in the stop light race too.

Its a little less believable if the G35 Coupe was a 6spd driven by a competant driver ... but hey a win is a win right?

All I'm saying is that nothing is impossible when it comes to street races ... especially when two cars are fairly close in hp numbers lik the modded TL-S and G35 Coupe.

Funny thread.

bigman

Rondog has an 01 CL-S with i/h/e and has taken a g35 coupe auto with my fat 200+lbs. ass in the car.

Mongolian

um... i was in a G35c 6mt and that shit is fast... much faster than my type S... I don't think the guy was trying.... or something's fishy...

in the 1999-01 TL-P its TCS ( Traction Control System) but in the later model TL-S and TL-P its VSA, same thing as TCS they just reconfigured the engine cut off, just so they can take out the flaws that they had in the TCS. Lata

elah

i smoked a 350z from start to end left him 5 cars behind on my tl-p








after activation my 75 shot

LiQiCE

Do you have any mods on your Type S? ... We're talking about a fairly well modded TL-S versus an assumingly stock G35C. The G35C is fast, but with all available (I/H/E/P) bolt-ons I believe the TL-S should be about as fast as the stock 6spd, and maybe a little bit faster than a G35C auto.

Of course stock versus stock the G35C 6spd would kill a TL-S.

Finally somebody that actually knows something about performance. Thanks LiQiCE

VQ35DE

Smart money is still on a well driven G-6MT but, I can buy a modded TL-S taking down a G35C 5AT.

ferizzo

so much misinformation!!!

Liqice is pretty right on except that a stock G35c6 should still beat a heavily modded (headers, intake, exhaust, UR pullies) TLS. I don't recall seeing too many (or any for that matter) 14.4 TLSs without boost or spray while many stock g35c6s see very low 14s. In the real world (especially from a roll) the TLS can hang. I for one believe the outcome because its not like he pulled buses on the G. We don't even know if the G was auto or manual. And finally anything is possible on the streets since we don't live in a magazine or a perfect world.

I say nice kill.

LiQiCE

Its a CL-S, but mrsteve on Acura-CL.com runs 14.2s pretty consistently with I/H/E stock OEM rims and better all-season tires ... With the Unichip, pulleys and lightweight rims/drag radials he could definitely be in the high 13s.

I haven't gotten a chance to run recently, but I figure with the same mods as mrsteve I should be running numbers close to his 14.2s. I dunno, maybe he's the exception to the rule ...

BTW , VSA stands for Vehicle Stability Assit

ferizzo

That's why I said TLS. I know the cars are the same but honestly I've never seen a non-boosted or non-spray TLS run better than a 14.5. There are a few CLS autos with h/i/e/p running consistent 14.5 or better. I know mrsteve and bulldog01 have hit 14.2 (I was actually there when bulldog01 did it at epping) and mattg has hit 14.1. The night bulldog01 hit his 14.2 he had 2 other 14.4 runs. He had the exact same setup as me (headers and intake, although I had OBX/CT and he had Stone/AEM) yet the best I could do was a 14.6. We even raced head to head and he got a 14.4 to my 14.7. I admit I sucketh at the launch but I still haven't seen a TLS run that well.

LiQiCE

Hm, interesting ... I've always assumed the TL-S could run the same numbers as the CL-S. Other than weighing slightly more (48 lbs to be exact) and having skinnier rims, the only other difference in the TL-S versus the CL-S is that the TL-S has a third resonator on the exhaust pipes... Maybe that is making a difference?!?

I just didn't think the cars would be running different times like that.. Will have to see whenever I get the chance to go back to the track.
