OKay Cars In Question....

My Car At the time 2001 Acura CL Type S 3.2L V6 260Hp Stock.... Had headers, k&n filter... 18inch rims, slotted and drilled rotors, and keep in mind its an auto matic. ( I thought at the time this was a good transition from the Trans Am, I had 8 points on the liscence and needed to slow down)

His Car 5.7L Black GTO, loud exhause and 18inch rims, never stayed around to find out what else he had but looked nice and sounded louder than a cat back would normally sound.

Anyways roll off the freeway and hear him punch it so for the hell of it I do the same , manually shifting the auto to rev a little higher in VTEC..

Oddly enough I am keeping up with him, 1st gear pulling , 2 gear start to gain some ground, and 3rd gear actually pass him, not I top in 3rd at about 110pmh so it was over from there 4 has no ***** and he of course having a 6 speed V8 started to pull, but I had him to 110...

Being 2am and no one on the road , ran a few more times from 1st gear roll and beat him each time to 110, I turn around to go home and he follows, wants to run again and again, mean while the Acura is in need of a rest I pull in to my drive way....

Big black dude pops out of the GTO comes towards the car ( While I reach for my glock 40 cal thinking he is going to murder me) asks what I had in it, told him and he couldnt beleive it ...

He either has no idea what he is doing or my car was running freakishly fast that night, either way would never have guessed a 3.2L V6 could out run a 5.7L V8 ...

 

I'd guess the guy just can't drive.

 

man, you would be surprised how bad an engine will run if its not taken care of too...but to me it sounds like he doesnt know how to use that 6speed and he failed to downshift-just floored it in whatever gear he was in. good kill though-sounds like hes lucky he didnt get capped-haha.i had a guy do this at a light bc i peeled out at a stopsign about a mile back-he almost lost his head(but this guy was actually angry)

 

thats sig material there pricelesss vtec lol

 

Bad driving can go a long way....

 

You pulled but nonetheless he must of been in a higher gear, so good kill but eventual death.

 

Nice kill. Car can only be as fast as you drive it though.

 

I can *believe* it... those J32s are good motors. I would definitely say that he would beat you if he could drive better, but those cars are no slouches. If I was looking for something more luxurious, and I wasn't addicted to RWD now, I would definitely consider one (and have in the past).

 

They are ok. A bunch of my friends have TL's, CL's, some regular, other type S... Decently quick cars, but I run circles around them...

 

Well yeah... but you'd be surprised what a 6spd CL-S can run with a few bolt-ons and a good tune

 

One would hope so...

 

I know I raced a kid who had a type a with my old intake/ exhaust Dakota r/t mind you this is a mid 14 second truck and I still beat him. Although I know that night he burnt up his clutch and had to get a tow home an its pretty obvious he can't drve

 

also the ls1 goats arent THAT fast

 

Depends on wha tyou call "that" fast. If you consider mid 13 to high 13s @ around 103 or so mph not that fast then yeah they arent.

 

...very slowly

 

Mid-high 13's... I don't think that would surprise me...

 

Even with bolt-ons on the Acura a stock ls1 gto will still own it with a decent driver. My buddies 3.5l Altima has kicked the **** out of those things multiple times and he only runs mid-high 14s.

 

My freind was able to run a 13.8 with his TypeS

Intake and catback.....with a nitto DR, it was a very quick car for what it was!

 

This is a list off of the GTO boards.


LS1 Stock classes:
1) H82BSLOGTO 13.09 @ 105.00
2) ls1gto 13.10 @ 107.3 MPH
3) TRU GTO 13.136 @ 105.76 MPH
4) GTwhoa 13.15 @ 105.35 MPH
5) nutiger 13.245 @ 104.86 MPH
6) GTONEWB 13.248 105.99 MPH
7) slammin86 13.27 @ 105.46 MPH
8) nikivee 13.3 @ 104.00 MPH
9) 1meangoat 13.307 @ 104.61 MPH
10) Nmbr1GMfan 13.390 @ 104.54 MPH
11) win98nogood 13.393 @ 105.10 MPH

 

Nice runs whatever the case may be.

I wonder about the GTOs tune. If it was really loud and all, maybe the bolts ons are hurting rather than helping? Ecu might not like what it sees and is richening the mix big time or something?
