you shoulda down shifted to 3rd and put lengths on that N/A GP. 6 speed DOHC VTEC is way better than the N/A 3.8. the top end sucks on these cars

yea I should have down shifted, but I was pulling on the gp in 4th(my worst gear) @ 3-4rpm and thought it was kinda funny. I GXP no doubt should beat me...its a V8, but my car can also go 155mph before it hits the governer. I wouldn't ever drive that fast again though. Did it in my dads 350z, but once was enough for me. I did notice red brake calipers and before we ever got on the highway his wheels were the kind that have curved spokes

Now I got headers/intake...keeping up with stock G35's and 350z's now I can't wait to race some mustang GT's(autos) and WRX's on the highway

BTW, don't think I'm bashing any of your cars...I respect cars based on there performance. I am not biased by brand name.

nice work, i always liked the CL's i saw one at the track one night with a Zex kit on it, the car was going in the mid 13's with very little money invested in it

yea headers alone add 15-30 wheel horsepower!...dyno proven. I wasn't convinced b/c normally a full cat back only gives 4-12HP. I actually got my headers installed yesturday. The car feels like a totally different animal...much more responsive and throaty. Pulls sooo much harder through the whole rpm range. It adds about 10whp throught the rpm's until v-tech then it adds up to 30whp

I guess headers are kinda like what pulleys are for GP's...

curved spokes. red brake calipers. 04 gtp comp G. good run. dont feel to bad about starting in 4th cause he was at the bottom of his 3rd. even tho if you were in 3rd you would have had a better pull. 6 speed kills 4 speed. and no you swaping out pullies wont help you out as much as us. it wont give you more boost out of the supercharger

so it was a comp G? Sweet!

BTW, I do not have the 6-speed CL-S which is a full half second faster 0-60! I have the 5-speed automatic with sport shift. 6-speeds were only available for one year(2003)

O. and I wasn't saying that adding a pulley to my car would be like adding one to yours. I was saying adding headers to my car is like adding a pulley to yours.

I hope I run into this guy again. Maybe we could try a dig and roll from around 30-40. I'm suprised I beat a lightly modded comp g...they are supercharged right?

Any other GP owners from STL?

My GFs brother 04 CompG, you couldn't hear the blower on it at all. He was complaining to me about it and he was right. A cone bolted on the MAF fixed that problem for him. Night and day difference sound wise.

the GTP will get you out of the hole, just cause of the torque, they have no topends. you would take him from the top because of your DOHC. the altima i have from enterprise makes no power till 4000rpm, but it screams to 6000, the transmission wont let the car rev any higher, stupid auto stik!
