Default Help! My Mom Is A Ricer!
Where did I go wrong?


'08 Eclipse V6-GT SE

Damn thing comes with a 10" Rockford Fosgate sub in the trunk!

LOL

Honestly, I love it! That thing does rolling burnouts from 20mph in 1st gear into 2nd! With a little weight out people are going 13.9! Im taking it to the track as soon as they open up!

Fastest I have seen is 14.02 @ 102 in warmer weather. One guy claims 13.89 but people are not believing him.

I'd like to line up with one of these...

They are pigs, heavier than an f-body, 3,600 pounds I think. I do kind of like the look though.
