Default Good Run with Turbo Eclipse

So, i'm sitting next to this eclipse at a light, getting ready to turn left onto a 60mph Highway. As we're going through the turn I can hear his loud *** BOV, so i'm like, hmmmmmm, ok. So I give it a little punch to let him know it's on(I was about 2 cars ahead of him at this point. I hear him mash it, so I do the same. He spins at about 30 mph. We run all the way to 105mph, and at the end I still had the same 2 car lead. We pull over and i'm like "That thing must have a big *** turbo." He told me it was a 16g off of an Evo. I congratulated him on a good race, overall it was a nice car.

Nice kill, that turbo has put plenty of cars into the 11's, I used to run it on my Talon.

Beating a GST with one is god work. Nice kill.

Nice kill..

there is a first gen talon here in Boise, Idaho that is running low 10's... If you look at the car you about cry it's so ugly.. but once it spools, you drop your jaw.... I guess he likes power over cosmetics

Yeah, but not on a 16G. Also which car are you referring to?

Not very likely, but I wouldn't exactly rule it out after seeing project goodwill: 10's on the stock 14b

Yep, and more recently made a mid 10 second pass on a 16g and broke into the 9's with a 16g and spray.

The car is gutted with lexan windows though, but impressive none the less.
