was looking for the "kill stories" forum but couldn't find one...I think this is right.
I pulled out of Denooyer Chevrolet and this silver eclipse GSX gets on it next to me, I hear his huge BOV and take a look at the car. Very tastefully modded--nice set of graphite rims and no huge fart can, just a quieter muffler. He's also got three gauges on the pillar, but of course that means nothing in terms of performance. I don't think it was a stock turbo, but who knows. So we both head down Stadium Dr. at about 60. I was going to work so I had to turn left on 9th street and he was going straight. I give a rev as I go past so then he switches lanes and decides to go left We get out in front of a car and are goin about 45 mph. I hear him drop a gear, has the jump on me, I drop into 3rd and he only breaks even for about 1/2 a second. I steadily pull away, more quickly the more time passes. Probably had a car on him at 75. We both shut it down at 80 and both said "nice car" as he drove past. In hindsight I probably could have dropped into 2nd and really blown his doors off, but oh well.
This wasn't too fair of a race, but it's my first in honestly 2 years so I had to post it. What does a stock GSX hardtop run, low 14s? And seeing as it's a hardtop, is it AWD? Edumucate my ignorant self, please :dontknow:
