01 CLS Vs. Newer TSX, and one other.

So last night on my way to work, I'm on the on-ramp to I-25 As I'm getting down to the Highway I notice this car is not moving into the left to let me in. So I have about 500 yards to merge over. So I shoot a look at the guy, then I hear him open it up. I go ahead and get back into it. I totally lay waste to him. After I get over I let it back down to 75 and set cruise. He does a fly by. I don't know what year it was but it looked pretty new. I did'nt know the TSX was a 4 banger.

Also ran into it with a Contour SVT from a dig a while back and spanked him pretty badly too. I could see his GF laughing in the mirrior.

So there is a guy at work with a stock 06 BMW 330I (Auto I think) that seems to think he will smoke me. I'm stock but, by the time we get to run I'll have my underdrive pulley and intake on. He also has a RX-8 i'd like to run!

TSX is a joke speed wise. They are a very nice city cruiser car though.

330I is pretty even vs CL-S Stock. It will be a drivers race. If he sucks at stick you will pull on him.

RX-8 is pretty close too. If its stock you should beat him. They have no torque so getting up to speed takes a while for them. I believe their quarter mile is around 15 flat.

I hear ya, but I thought a Contour SVT would be a better run than it was.
