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.

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.
