3.5L Vs. GenIII Eclipse v6 turbo 12 p.s.i.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok...so this guys getting a workout! and so too am i, now that i think of it...after seeing the video of the roush running the eclipse i figured hey...if the roush just edges out the eclipse on the top from a 40+ roll, then ill be just a smidge behind, having just lost to the roush from similar rolls by alittle more...WRONG! apparently the eclipse is even faster than the roush on top and the video we all saw was one of his ,lets just say not his best run with the roush...

ok...so i have the camera guy and not knowing any of this,im thinking...im gonna put trains on the eclipse from a dig and it'll be a drivers race from a roll...three times the best i would do is a car ,car+ and have him reel me in by 60 -75 then go by me pretty good as you'll see in the videos...

i had given up and didnt even bother with the roll races knowing i would get smoked...when my friend says "switch up"...so my camera guy hits the eclipse up for a ride...you all know danny 03blkcobra/mofobucs...well turns out his fat ass was the anchor holdin my ass back....if you think about it...it's a 400lb. swing...i loose 200 lbs, the eclipse gains 200...well the last video will show what a difference that made, and because the video may be desceiving i let off at 115 still a car+ out,but he was coming up....( BTW very simliar to the mysteriosly abscent video of me and the roush with our clean dig run )....deep breath

Ah, that explains it better. The camera guy was in the Roush the whole time you were racing, right? So you got the 400 pound bonus?

is a good 4/10 of a second. It's huge, even in the 400 ft-lb ride... But yeah, it might have affected you more and him less, but it's hard to tell. Next time kick your fat friend out and give it a run.
