I have been waiting for this opportunity.....
Last night did 3 runs with a automatic Z.....never passed 70 mph tho....alll 3 times the z was 1/4 car behind me....not alot of distance but man....i thought he will walk away on 3 rd gear but even i was surprised.
I noticed one thing...when i was in 2nd gear....his auto shifted to 3rd while i still was in 2nd...almost at redline ....that gave me a slight edge over the auto z....but all in all my 260 horses VS 287 ..really made my day!! i was impressed.!!

How do you know what gear he was in when you were also driving your own car?

 

Pass this on to that Z driver:

 

Cuz it was a traffic light start...my window and his was rolled down and i could hear his gear shifts loud and clear...

 

purplehaze- lets hook up, i'd like to run you in my s2k. i'm curious to see the outcome.

 

well, you're kind of comparing apples to oranges (6spd vs. Auto) but nice kill anyhow. I'm itching to race a cls 6spd...any takers in my area?

 

hey have you had that thing out to the track yet?

 

nope.

 

purplehaze, what do you drive?? what mods??

 

The CL has taller gearing. Many think of this as a disadvantage but for some speed regions (like up to 70 mph) the ability to be in a lower gear as you reach 70 is an advantage.

 

Skip Barber...I go on April 18th at Lime Park.

Sorry...someone mentioned it and I had to chime in.

 

Next weekend...we can meet up. And anyone else here who wants to join....i'll post somethin to remind u.
As for mods..i only have an Aem Cai..

Also note.
At the time of the race...he was alone...i had a girl on the passenger seat and a fully loaded golf bag in the trunk!

Nice f*kin' kill

Mc222- Sure! Know any good places to do it? Around what time do you usually come through W.C.?
