stomped an eclipse

[gorgonheimer]

so as i was passing the guy in second i could hear him bouncing off the rev limiter. then i slowed down so we could line up again, he passes me and does a california stop at the sign and just kinda ran away. i guess that hideous wing and blue light up wiper squirters dont make a car any faster

eclipse...what year/trim?

[SnotRocket]

Hey I out ran a Prius last week. I pulled him about 2 good car lengths before I let off. :-)

Then a Corolla pulled up and he pulled me by 3 car lengths. :-(

P.S.
I honestly think that's the first time in years anyone has out ran me. I can't tell you how many cars I out ran during the 6 years I owned a 427 Cobra (FFR). One Viper, one Zo6, a half dozen C5's, too many Mushtangs to count. 400 hp and 1900 pounds is bad news.

400 hp and 1900 pounds is bad news.

What kind of car?

eclipse...what year/trim?

dont know what year exactly but it was late 90's esk. 3rd gen. not a turbo. had the exhaust cut off underneath the car.

[gorgonheimer]

hey who move this. i looked at the title and it says "DRAG RACING" not street racing. just kidding. that God for good mods

[Omgloltokyodrift]

What kind of car?

The 427 Cobra (FFR).

FFR = Factory Five Racing.

yeah i passed a lambo gallardo. flew past him. even though this was during gridlock rushhour.

[festivaWES]

3rd gen didn't start untill 2000. I have a 99 GS non-turbo. Greddy header/megan exhaust, neon 3.55 trans swap, AEM intake. Is your car swapped/modded??

[JPT]

Factory Five Racing is based in my hometown. I see so many cobras that they don't even impress me anymore.

Out ran a Prius? A moped could stomp one of those slow as crap things.

[gorgonheimer]

ive got a bp and g trans with 2.5 exhaust and a magnaflow muffler. ive advanced the timing and run supreme always. when i swapped everything out i used a probe V6 clutch disc with the bp plate. it pulls good. and gutted interior with two seats and a dash only.

ok check wikipedia and it was a 2nd gen.

[rerhard]

good one's to outrun are suv's since they have a governor chip installed and can't go that fast. i did that to a couple of them 2 days in a row.

[festivaWES]

lol....yeah i blew away a 4.0 ranger!! He hit fuel cut-off at 95 YES!!!

My eclipse is nothing to brag about....against a BP with a G series trans i don't think i would keep up either...

[knux511]

hey, be nice to the 4.0 rangers.... just cuz ford decided to top em out at 100... once you get around that, theres alot more pedal to push down... and i know for a fact my ranger owns most compacts...
