Default Raced a Eclipse.... I know

LOL so i was taking a friend home after work, and we were stuck at a light and he noticed a friend of his in front of us in his eclipse, like an 04 or so.. So i quickly catch up to him when the light goes green. I Pull up beside him, and we are both going around 50 and i drop it into 2nd, And let him have the jump, but then Reel him in quickly and put a few cars on him just up to about 80 or so. So we luckily catch a red light right next to each other, and when the light goes green, we are bout even, i was trying very hard not to spin them, but once i know i will catch traction, i quickly put a couple buslenghts on him... LOL all i know he had was the v6, with intake, and exhaust. I have a 99 trans am m6... LOL i know you guys are going to say "ITS A STOCK ECLIPSE" lol but, i NEVER get ne races and thought i would share... lol

Any eclipse made after 1999 isnt worth racing at all.

Thats the same result I always have with my buddys 01 eclipse, its a 16 second car at best. I talked to a guy running a turbo setup on one and he was barely touching 14s.

No funny games just a simple question. The only 4G eclipse I know of in AZ that is turbo charged has a full on custom paint job and a big *** stereo. IE ugle and ricey. I was wondering if that was the car you raced, it obviosly wasn't the car or even the same generation Eclipse.

I once saw a Honda Minivan beat out a Si from a roll. That was funny.

It is a waste for MKIV guys since the race is over before the magical 1000WHP Supra spools up.

So you're saying that it wouldn't be a race between an Eclipse, and a 1000hp Supra (mine for example), in the Eclipse's favor? Please tell me I misread that.
