Default 1 Killed turbo eclipse

I had a eclipse riding my *** today while giving a customer a ride home. I brake checked him a couple of times, but he didnt back off. We were coming up to a red light, and luckly it turned red. He pulled beside me and began to rev up at me. I dont know what was done to the car, but it had a very loud, and annoying blow off valve. As the light turned green we both took off. I totaly destroyed him before tapping my brakes, and letting off. When I looked down I was going 92mph. Im guessing I made it to about 110mph. Anyway he didnt stand a chance. My Z is stock not including a earthing kit. Plus I had a passanger. He was alone. I dont know if a eclipse turbo kill is worth braging about, but it was a kill none the less.

More or less what year was the ecplise? They can be made pretty fast cheap. The older ones are always suprising because you just never know which one is a fast one and which isn't. Newer ones 94 and up tend to be ricier since they appeal more to that crowd. Nice kill nonetheless.

Any turbo DSM will be highly dependent on the car... they're so easy to make fast you never know what you'll line up against. For instance before I turned it into a daily driver my 90 GSX was at least as fast and probably faster 1/4 mile than my Z, but now back at stock boost it would get creamed. I'd imagine you ran a GS-T... because even a slow AWD would've jumped ahead on the launch.

ps. When did you hear the BOV? Not while he was revving at the stop light, right?

It was a 94-97 or whatever body. I could here the BOV when he was riding my ***.
