Call harry. Tell him you need "those", two of the big ones. By tonight.


Well seriously, yes some cars are just "slow" out of the box. But uh... let's see:

CL-S w/ some mods - 280 hp.
you - 290hp

his whp: 235 ish
your whp: 215 ish

So you see, from a roll you can still get fried simply b/c of AWD losses.

I'm guessing you aren't doing him from a stop b/c I have totally murdered even a 400hp GS-T from from one stoplight to the next (<1/8 mile) so I just don't see you losing to an almost stock CL-S. I have less mods than you btw.

O yeah, just for kicks:

when I had my gtech I decided to G my launch: .97 g's.

Now plug that into a basic physics equation and you get 0-60 in like, less than 3 seconds. So how's that, experiencing the g-forces of a McLaren F1 for albiet the half second...
AWD is the sht.
