Had a Little Fun w/ an Eclipse GT Tonight >>>
While I was out tonight, I had a little fun with an Eclipse GT.
I was on a one-laned road that branches off into two-lanes as you approach the intersection. While approaching the intersection, I notice there is a car in the left-hand lane, so I got into the right hand lane.
I looked over and noticed it was an Eclipse GT. The music was blasting and I think it was two girls, or a girl and a guy. All I know was the passenger was a girl. Anyway, they kept inching up so I figured they wanted to go.
When the light turned green, I accelerated a bit faster than normal. I got up to about 65mph (in a 40 zone), but the Eclipse didn't seem to want to go. After gaining a satisfying distance between me and the Eclipse, I let of to about 50 (now in a 45 zone). I guess I got the Eclipse driver mad by blowing them off at the intersection, so he/she decided to blow by me.
Well, this didn't make me very happy. I floored the car up to about 65mph, but we were forced to slow down for a sharp turn. After we got on another straight-away, we both floored it. The Eclipse in the left lane, me in the right. Up ahead the road merged into one lane. I got up to 85mph and blew by the Eclipse just before the road merged into one lane. My intake was screaming. I then had to slow down because there was a car in front of me, but the Eclipse tailgated me the rest of the way until I turned off. They must've been mad...I mean I blew by them at the last second.
Just thought I'd post my little story. Thanks for reading.

And for those of you in central NJ, this started at the light by Harry's Army and Navy (Crosswicks-Hamilton Square Road). We crossed Route 130 and I blew by him right before the lanes merge at George Dye Road, but we were on Klockner Road.

Nope. This one was a maroon colored, and I think it may have been a convertible, but it was dark and I couldn't really see.

Recently my friend got a 2001 Eclipse GT Spyder. It's a 3.0l V6 w/ 200 hp. I raced him in my 3rd gen, and lost...but only by about 2 carlengths!
So Then I got my 96 SE. Muhahaha....He started talkinhg crap, too...like "Man, you think that thing could hang with an eclipse? It's a four door! No Chance!" And that kinda stuff. So I nicely, politely challenged him to a race. We raced from the line, in an undeveloped road (It will soon be neighboorhood, but right now its just four miles of road in the woods w/ 2 lanes either way...In other words, perfect for racing.) We lined it up, and went. Dead even till the end of 1st, when I started slowly pulling. I pulled all through 2nd. I pulled hard at the beginning of third, and kept pulling, but not quite so quickly. Ended up beating him by about 2 carlengths.
