Default 2 spas and a CL-S

I was on the freeway with a 2002 supercharged spa S2k and we were behind a black CL type S. I am stock besides a PRM intake. The SCS2k started to move up on the CL to pass on the right, when the CL floored it (lots of exhaust) the S2k passed it easily going uphill from about 80 mph. I hit VTEC in 3rd from about 50 yards back of the CL and caught up pretty quick, but was unable to pass due to traffic. The other S2k and I exited and hit a two lane stoplight headed uphill. He still had his temp tags on and had the car for about a month. He said that he had just gotten in supercharged. He had all the OEM body stuff (spoilers, side strakes). We both rolled to about 10 mph and then I jumped out before him. He reacted and was probably a 1/2 car back from my back bumper. He inched up until about 3rd gear, when he started to pass me, and by about 100 he was a car length or so ahead of me. It put a big smile on my face. Two spa yellow S2000s screaming up the hill. The SC sounds so good. The highlight of my Labor day weekend.

So the SC is good for about 2-3 cars or so. Does that sound about right?

More than 2-3 lengths in a straight up race. But you jumped him, which will reduce the margin considerably.

do some searches for Sc'd vs stock videos....there are more than a few out there. the difference is rather substantial. keep in mind if he's only had the car a short time, that may be one of the bigger factors here. in a straight up race, he would walk you rather easily.

I would say he walked easily. I'm not sure 'exactly' how far behind he was from the start, but once he came up next to me, it wasn't long before he was a couple cars past. But yeah, he had just past the break in , and then got it SC'd. I have 13000 miles. We both had the top down, but he had his windows up
