Default Turbo Eclipse vs 98 Z28*short vid*

This is my first racing video,sorry its so short.
My girlfriend did a good job, for her first ever camera work!


The details:Jeffs eclipse on 14 psi.
He asked if i would give him a fair run on his new mods.
His terms:Roll race,3 honks.I tried to give him a fair start too.


My Z28 has lid,catback,A4.Its his best effort out of 3 races.
It pulled pretty good IMO.Not enough to take the LS1 tonight though.

Thanks man.After we pulled over,he said it wasnt holding the 14.only 12 or so.I know he was a little disappointed.I think it moves pretty good for being FWD and a vert.Im setup to race a Charger R/T with intake and exhaust this week.

You should be able to take the R/T. The SRT8's run right around what the stock ls1's run, so watch out for them, don't let the size/weight fool ya.

My best friend had a GS-T and when i finally got my SS Down here with me from back home, I showed him the difference in fun and FAST> Needless to say, he now owns an 02 T/A! Yeah, he learned his lesson. He loved his toy, now he loves his machine!

The first race on this clip is where I told him to just go and I would start after.
I walked him good that time too.Im guessing hes got around 290 flywheel,
I could be wrong.
It was his need to see where his car stood, that sparked these races.
I admit the camera work sucks,My girl tried and I appreciate her effort.
The more I mod my car,the faster the cars will be in my vids.(And improved camera work is a promise)

tell him to be a man, carank the boost to about 25 lbs, nd wear it out. My buddies, we messed up his boost controller one day, and t jumped to 30 before it started sputtering from lack of fuel. We also did a second gen turbo swap, can't remember what it was called, like 14B or something. Still slow though, have to admit fun car

Was that an o2 dump I was hearing from Eclipse?

Nice kill.
