Default 04 S2000 vs Supercharged Acura 3.2 CL Type-S

I was turing right onto an open street and a red CL was coming up behind me. I got in the left lane and he pulled up in the right one, as we both stopped at the light. He was looking over at me a lot, so i thought he might try to race me. At the light neither one of us took off fast, but i heard him get on the throttle hard, so I quickly jumped on it. He had about a half car lead and I sllloowwlly started to pull on him, by the time we shut it down I was about a half car length ahead of him. We were probably going about 75 and we had to slow down because the light ahead was red. We pulled up next to each other and exchanged thumbs ups. He then told me that he was supercharged.

You beat a 3.2 SC with stock s2k? I won't call BS but I will say his car is not tuned right.

Nice run man! A supercharged cl type-s has about 300whp if its a 6-speed. The automatics one have alittle bit less power than that. The drivetrain in the cl has a big lost. My experience from owning one.

Thanks guys. He might not have had the best tuning, and we didn't really launch (where his extra torque would have helped him). It was and extremely close race. I think it might have been an auto, but I really couldn't tell. I did not see him shifting, mainly because I was focused on what I was doing.
