As I was merging from a right turn I see this white eclipse go by and do a blow off as he sees me. Well I went to pass him in the left lane after I merged and he sped up to get parallel with me. We both looked and each other and nodded at about 45-50mph or so. I dropped down to 3rd and let him get the jump before layin into the pedal. My nose was at the end of his door when I put pedal to metal and just walked by with ease up to about 87ish. He kinda looked dumbfounded when he heard my pipes, but he seemed cool...no ricer fly by or anything either.

I dont know what exact model he had but it has a seriously loud blow off valve.

You put it in third at 45-50mph? I'd put it in 2nd at that speed, and that's with 4.10s that's just me though

I have 4.11s as well. I dunno I really didnt NEED to was the thing. But youre right, I definately could have done a 2nd gear run.

I ran an S2000 in 4th at 55 once good kill!

Nice kill what are your mods, and I'm assuming LS1 f-body. Some of those turbo DSM's will surprise ya, they can be made quick for pretty cheap.

Blah I have no clue how to make a sig to put my mods in.
Yes I have a 98 LS1 Trans Am vert. Lid, free ram air mod, Pacesetter LTs, custom y pipe, LM catback, Moser 12bolt w 4.11s, short throw hurst shifter w a spec 3 clutch.
Buncha suspension but thats irrelavant.

What generation? Did it look like the one in my sig (1G) or was it the later model?


Nice kill.

N20LS1

Nice kill, although some modified DSMs can be extremely fast when modified right.

You raced to 87? Who says they raced to 87? Seems like you would say 85 or 90. Nice job being very exact and good kill.

It looked like a 98 model would look. so..2 gens old? Faster n Furiouser bodystyle.

I said 87 B.c when I let off it was above 85 but not at 90. Rough guestimate

Nice kill. They can be damn fast, but it takes very decent mods to hang with an LS1 from a punch. Nice sportsmanship giving him the jump too. If he was surprised you probably were a great help in giving him an idea where he stands

And it sounds like a 2G. Very curvaceous, much like a 3000GT or MR2 or late model RX7? The 1Gs are much boxier/uglier IMHO 2Gs are harder to make fast compared to the 1G cars built untill '94, but they are really very very similar.

Well it doesnt look like diambo4life's. I believe it was a gen after that. It had the same kind of bodystyle as this http://www.plu.edu/~medinara/Eclipse%20long.jpg

diambo4life

IMHO, 1gs are not boxy, EVO's are. If I recall they have a C/D of ~0.27.

Also, a 1G looks much more like a 2nd gen MR2 than a 2G does. Most of the early 90 cars looked similar. Think pop up lights, wing style etc.

I agree though. 1G's are quicker/faster (waits for Quinn to interject.)

Sparetire

^ep, thats a 2G

Yeah Diambo, I guess your right, the 1Gs are more like an MR2T. But most people regard us as the ugly ones. I have a 1GB myself, 93 Laser. I love people asking WTF a Laser is 1Gs can clean up so nice though.

I love our CD. Its about as good as a road car gets hehe.

Whats wrong with a rolling refrigerator if you have the power! lol

By the way I really like the look of your car, pretty mean looking. Ive always liked the 1G DSM's and the "bang for buck" options they have. Hell I even have a 1G BOV on my Evo cause they hold boost better!

diambo4life

Yeah...I was not taking a stab at the EVOs. I have been an EVO fan since way back in the day when Tommi was wrecking horror with his in the WRC. It's also a good reason why I also jumped onto the 4G63. Love EVOs...maybe one day I will own one. I also want a Galant VR4 bad!!!! No 2Gs though.

Thanks for liking my car. It's just lowered and has 17" wheels.
