i was watchn Fugitive on cbs tonight and during commercials they were showing what was coming up on the news, and they were talking about illegal street drag racing and one of the clips they showed, a 2k-2k1 maxima gxe/gle beat the older generation mitsubishi eclipse, they only showed like the first 3-4 seconds of it but the max was ahead...i was like, wtf? is that a maxima?...pretty cool shiet
atw

 

if it was nonturbo i wouldnt doubt that a maxima could take it. i wish i would have seen it, then i could convince friends that some maximas do deserve respect.

 

hmm..i was watching....i missed that .

 

dude, i saw that too... i think it was a sterling mist. i just hope the cops don't mistake my car for it and bust me!

 

I raced a 95-96 Eclipse GS-T a couple nights ago. We raced from a light to about 80, I heard his turbo spool but I stayed about a car length ahead of him. A stock turbo Eclipse is not that fast, we can take them all day long.

 

What city was the footage taken from?

 

don't know exactly... but they mentioned pomona and some other city i forget.

 

(AWD turbo) The car was "very fast" but it's relative... I went from a Honda CR-V to GSX and now have a Ford F-150 so the GSX felt like a rocket!

I have no doubt a stock 2k2 would destroy an stock eclipse of any flavor.

2k-2k1 would have a good race against a GS-T. The 1999 GS-T is 6.5sec 0-60 at 210hp so it should be close.

That GSX is easily the best, most fun car I've ever owned and that includes a prelude, bonneville ssei, and a chevy cadaver Z24.

It was the most fun, up until I get my 2k2 SE 6speed in 4 weeks!!!
