Talking Turbo Eclipse

was commin home from my ladys house around 2 am. Cruisin down route 22 east for all you jersey people, up ahead of me i see a late 2nd gen eclipse prolly a 97-98 with a huge coffe can exhaust. As i get close i push it over into the ss and drop the gear into 3rd and get up next to him, i look over and he looks over and we both take off. From a 50mph roll he pulled on me a lil on the jump then i started creeping up and just cruised past him, i could hear him spooling hardcore...we let off around 115...route 22 is just crawling with piggies.

my buddy with a 98 manual eclipse non turbo is always trying to tell me how he would rape me in a street race. I never really thought about it, but I guessing it would be a good race or I would win. He has CAI/H/E and some cooling mods, I also think he has got a racing clutch. I got i/h/e/p/ and thermospacers and bypassed the coolant. Doesn't even matter though he is in Seattle and I am in Vegas.

3rd gear at 50mph????? You would have destroyed him if you would have taken it down to the right gear for 50mph 2nd gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually raced a Eclipse last night. I think same generation. Waste of time. It was manual. I was listening for spool or blow off, but didn't hear anything. He wanted to go so we took of from a light I started very light on throttle and just breezed by him. Looked and sounded nice, just not fast. Good kill.
