Last night on I94 I was just cruising by when I saw xenon headlights coming up really fast behind me. I moved over, let him pass and then just stayed with him for a while. He had to slow down when a truck was passing another truck. I knew he was gonna go as soon as the truck moved over so I put it in third and waited. I was little more prepared than when I raced that SRT4 that one time. As soon as he gunned it, I went at it too. There was no traffic whatsoever. I moved to the right lane and we kept it pretty much even for a second or two and I slowly started pulling. By the end of third at about 110 I was one car ahead. I put it in 4th and he stayed back the a car til 135 before I slowed back down. He just flew by me going that speed for who knows how long.

Good job.
Funny how most of the races that include luxury-class sport cars (usually mercedes) always starts with, "I saw the xenon headlights comming from behind me"

You should have followed him at that speed. You would have arrived faster

I hate the SC430 as well, but they're not that quick. 14 second cars for like 60k? That's not too good to me. Nice kill. Any mods to the CL?

I have the Comptech Icebox, headers, UR Pulleys, H&R sports springs and shocks.
Yeah I agree. I didn't even know what type of power they make. 4.3L V8 and only 300 hp, that sucks for a $60K car. Only buyers I see for this car are rich women who shop for name.
