I didn't hear the blower...windows were up and my engine was revving pretty high.

And no, it wasn't a ****ty driver...GTP's are freakin autos...

I'de say stock for stock the CL-S auto is just as fast as a 04+ GTP(drivers race). Sure it has the same amount of horsepower, but 40 less torque...BUT the gearing on the CL-S is much better.

5-speed auto gearing:
1st gear- dunno how many mph
2nd gear- 65mpg
3rd gear- 110mph
4th-gear- 155mph
5th gear- gas saver

6-speed is even lighter then the CL auto...for every extra 100lbs of weight there is about 7hp reduction

Add headers to a CL/TL-S and you can free up 15-25HP(thats the biggest mod for my car). Exhaust/Pulleys doesn't do much for me like you guys

Anyways...it was a good race, I was probly just the better driver. Plus GTP's are weak from 80mpg+, but I was also in my weakest gear, 4th, when I should have been in 3rd

BTW, that GTO was sooo loud. It had custom side exhaust and it rumbled so loud I could feel it in my chest in my car next to it

I couldn't ask the guy. He wouldn't get beside me after the race and I had to exit about 3 miles later
