had the opportunity to race this eclipse on a highway with really no one around at 5 or so int he evening. he first saw me in his rear view mirror and started to take off so i dint have a chance to catch up or something. anyway, i get up next to him and we are going about 50. we race about 4-5 times.

first race- 50 mph start. i start in third and we gun it i am pulling in third and when im in fourth i am pulling a little more as well. had about3 car lengths or so (maybe more not sure) at about 100 mph then we shut down.

2nd race- he suggests we go alittle slower to start. so we start about 30 mph. im in 2nd gear and we take off again. same results except i jump even more this time and end at about 100 mph again

3rd race- he says he needed to adjust his boost or something. acting like something wasnt right. he asked if i had a super charger (my tb whistles) and i told him no but i have a 75 shot. he told me i used it in the previous races (which i didnt). go again from about 45 and i beat him again.

4th race- this guy was persistant- start at about 35 and i am at his window partial throttle. i wave to his passenger as i punched it and walked away with nitrous this time. destroyed him

5th race (last)- he said we should go from a stop. we hit a red light and i said this time i will use my nitrous. we take off and it was as you guessed. i ended up destroying him. he let off about 70 or so i would guess.

after, they pull up and i say that his car is pretty fast and he reciprocated. i think he was totally shocked that he got owned. i could tell from his face and his buddies that they didnt expect to get beat. also from his boost comment and asking about my supercharger were clues that he was expecting to beat me. i will say that he had 2 passengers in the car. and i had no one, however i don think it would have mattered. gave them a few honks as i exited. they gave thumbs up out the window.

over all a fun experience with great results from me

what would a turboed gsx with exhaust and goodies run in the 1/4 mile anyway?

ps if your wondering why im posting here- its becaseu no mustang sights allow race posts- and there is a lot of action here

 

no on ecares about my long story lol

 

That was a hot story. Always glad to hear about a muscle car (even if its a Ford ) teaching the import guys.

 

They can run anywhere from 15s to 12s depending on setups, it's too hard to generalize them. And that's with the AWD turbos of course
