You should have toasted this guy.

I DID, I pulled him a full car and a half up to about 60mph........I would say it would have been even more if I had continued with the run, but I let out at around 60 ( it was obvious he had no chance and there was no point in continuing the run )

sounds right then

there is a guy that lives two houses down from me with a 93 coupe, with exhaust such.......im going to ask him to line up with me so I can see how well I do aginst a mild ( very mild ) fox coupe with a 5 speed..

should be intresting, it runs pretty good from what I hear so I would think he should be in the UPPER 8's to a flat 9 in terms of 1/8 mile but I think I will still get him. All for fun though :drunk:

sounds familiar, i did something similar to one of the older gst's. but i got him by 3 bus lengths after missing 2nd (how, i dunno) up to about 70.

eclipses suck :banana:

I Beat a 90's Eagle Talon (full body kit/Wing going on) With Three of my buddies in the car. Pobably atleast 550 extra pounds. I won badly to 70.

I know the type of driver - there's so many dicks here, and the eclipse drivers are anoying!
cept here he probably would have done the fly by after you let off. lol.

Nice kill, your truck likes rice for dinner.

For one,I dont race imports. Not worth the gas or the ticket. Besides ,even if you beat a ricer/import punk by 20 lengths ,hes gonna tell all his fag buddys how "I walkeD A SLow AZZ F-Thing -15.0 .......Im L33T L33T BIOtcH !! bLOWED off VTECH FTMFW !!"

utofcloset:

Secondly,you could beat that Eclipse with half your cylinders firing and not even get your new rims dirty,lol.. Not even in the same league. Im glad you gave him a reality check,and hopefully he will man up and sell that chick ride.
