So today me any my friend jerry were on the way home from the local club meet when a eclipse gets next to me and keeps spooling and blowing off his turbo. so i downshifted into 3rd and took of a little so did he then we both went at it i got a big jump on him and he gave up it was a early 90s with a young kid but me and jerry were laughing hard about it funny times lol smoked it

 

ew eclipse... was it the older or newer models? theres this kid where i live that has one i thinks its a gst with fast and the furious taillights (ricerrrr) and me and my buddy with his mr2 and my tC always box him when we see him. he gets ____ed

 

it was the awd turbo one gsx or a tsi

 

i only seen one around here. they have the same hp as the gst its just quicker cause its a awd. i say you and your friends should box him up! lol at least he whimped out on ya!

 

cool but be careful. i know i sound like an old man but it is dangerous.... almost losing control at 100+mph changes your view on street racing, haha

 

lol i was going about 40 when we went at it i only got to about 60 it was lame lol then he woudlnt get next to me again i just though it was funny wonder what he was thinking when the box owned him

 

lol he was the instigator. and he got owned by your box. done deal!

 

just hope your airbags work if anything happens, my girlfriends car got totalled and none of her stupid airbags went off, lame

 

yeah it happens hard to hit things going straight on a straight road

 

sucks.... same thing happened to me (not race related)



got side swiped by a van and ended up smashing into a wall then got hit by the same van a second time (crazy spinnage) the back and sides were smashed too.

 

The eclipse driver really must've sucked at driving. A 50hp advantage in a similar weight car. Just a sad day. Most GS-T's will run the 1/4 in low 15's, the 1/8th at 10 flat. I haven't seen the specs on this new xB but I would imagine something like high 15's for the 1/4 and 10.4-ish in the 1/8th.

Anyone taken a stock xB2 to the track yet? I'm planning on running mine against a stock tC and then a tC with intake/exhaust on the local 1/8th as soon as mine is broken in. I'll be filming it so people can get an idea of the differences.

 

i raced a tc its about even to 80 and when we raced downhill i gained on him hard we never went from a stop so yeah and you got to realize most gsxs have ben ridden hard and put away wet so its motor is probably down on power

 

I had a 200hp 1990 Eclipse GSX that did 0-60 in 6.3 secs (2+ secs quicker than the XB2) and the quarter in low 15s. You got lucky like I did the time I smoked a Ferrari Testarossa with my 87 Mustang GT.

 

yeah that was a 1990 the motor is old and tired ben used and abused and in denver we are a mile high i we get 20%less power up here so basicaly a second slower ets

 

was behind a kid last night in my box, he was in a cobalt ss. passed him cause he was going slow and i set my cruise and then i get by a parking area and next thing i know he goes flying by me, was laughing to myself cause i couldnt figure out what that just proved...... i was hopin a cop was coming the other way so i could laugh even harder..... is it just me or does every teenage kid in a cobalt think they are in a sports car.... lol farthest thing from it.... lol

 

Yea, Cobalt's make me mad. It was nice when I had my Stealth cause I would blow the doors of this one kid all the time. Seems like I saw him every morning on the way to work. I don't see the xB keeping pace though, it's not a supercharged SS but he has done stuff to it. And I think the motors in the non supercharged Cobalt's are good for 170hp anyways.

There is a road in my town where you are forced to merge about 1/5th of a mile after the intersection, this results in a lot of "impromptu" races. Since getting my xB2 I've managed to merge in front of a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country Limited(3.8 V6 w/ 200 hp), a late 90's early 2k's Ford Expedition(5.4L V8 300-ish hp), and an early 2k Pontiac Grand Am GT(3.4L V6 with 170hp)

I've also lost to a new Civic Si(2.0L I-4 w/ 197hp) at this light twice.(A friend, we intentionally went to this intersection for this purpose)

I know the things I "beat" up there are large and slow, but I was like 4 car lengths on all of them so merging in front of them was easy, there would even be room for another car or so between us.

If I get into any impromptu races with something most would consider fast and I actually win I'll post on here. But I don't see that light often and most of the time the other guy doesn't care. The other problem is even if I tie I have to slam on my brakes cause it's a merge lane and I run out of road.

 

Yeah

Kinda like those people who street race in those boxy station wagons... You know, the ones with a Camry engine.




-THE DON

 

your right don kinda like that d bag

 

The Don - Thank You.

 

yes thank you Don!

Hahah the driver of the eclipse must have really sucked cause a gsx eclipse would blow the doors off the xB
