Not a big racer but I had to prove my point!!!

Lastnight on my way to the mall to pick up a few gifts I came upon a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT. I'm stopped at the light minding own my business when this clown started to rev and smile. Remembering once an Eclipse gave one of my cousins a had time while driving his 1990 Porsche 944 S2 I was not up to the run. But when the light changed and he gassed it I say @#$k it and gassed it to. By the time I was at 40mph we where nose to nose, at 60mph one car lenght, 75mph two cars and by 85-90mph his silver car looked really little and cute in my rear view .


Just a little reminder to all, max's are not the fastest thing on the road but don't @#$k with us.

PS.
My car is an AUTO

An (stock) Eclipse beating a 944 S2? Hard to believe.

Stock 01-02 eclipse = 200hp
Stock '90' 944 s2= 205-208hp

I never said he won I said he gave my cousin a hard time. In the end the 944 smoked him.

Right on! I can't wait to actually have someone race me, win or lose. I pulled up on an apparent modded prelude (wheels, paint, exhaust, too many &$#m stickers) about two weeks ago and indicated my interest in a run...he turned on a side street.

Oh well, I will probably get my @ss handed to me soon.

You should move to Calgary and take on all the SUV's you can handle.

I don't even bother with the Honda boys anymore. Waste of gas. Others are a different story
