How would have I done against a 1-st gen Eclipse?
Cliff Notes:
Two chicks in an Eclipse and I somewhat went at it was wondering how an auto 4-th gen would do against them if it was an all-out race.
------------------------------------------------------------
I was bored so I went out for a drive. I was driving on a quiet road minding my own business and all of sudden I see these very bright headlights closing in on me quickly. This thing was even changing lanes wrecklessly in order to pass the 2-3 cars in its way. The road was wet and they were playing road warrior.
There was a stoplight up ahead and we were finally side by side. The driver and passenger were two blonde chicks. I smiled at them and the driver was saying something to the passenger. I got this feeling where these two chicks wanted to play. I'm just waiting for the light to turn green. It turned green and they took off pretty hard. I was right! I followed them but I didn't go WOT because 1) I never raced B4 and 2) the road was wet. I caught up to them at the next light but it turned yellow. I slowed down and stopped.
I looked at them they were both laughing and showed off their sound system playing rap msuic. I smiled and turned off OD. Light turned green and like B4 I didn't go WOT fearing some unforeseeable crap might happen (my 2 reasons in above paragraph, accident, cop, etc....). These girls were laughing as both cars were in motion. I was only pushing about 1/3 of the throttle. I assumed they weren't giving it their all because I didn't pay attention to how much noise their engine was making and the whole time we were even.
Realizing this was getting nowhere. I sped up a bit more to cut them off because I needed that lane to get on the highway. Then they changed lanes to cut me off. A little bit further up ahead they realized that the lane we were on is the lane to get on the highway. So they had to change to the left lane almost hitting the person they were trying to get in front of.
So I was wondering. Who would own who?

agree
I had a 93 GSX 5-speed and beat 1st-3rd gen consistently. I beat 4th gen sometimes... sold it before 5th gen Max came out but I'd guess I would have lost to a 222hp car.
My AWD was quick off the start but the extra weight didn't help.

Turbo DSM's are very easily and cheaply modified
