5.0 thought he had an easy win

This guy basically thought my Eclipse was slow, I'm assuming based on it's looks. It's not a pretty car and the rims are some of the most played out rims out there, so I guess he thought I was just another slow import. He asked me to race and at first, wanted to go from a dig. I told him that's pointless, I'm FWD. He suggests a 20 roll. I already know what the outcome of this race is gonna be so I give this guy the race he wants.

When I ask what his mods are I get the usual list: intake, headers, exhaust, cam, and Cobra upper and lower intake manifold. His best ET to date was 13.6 on street tires.

We go out to a highway in Mexico and line up at 20mph and I have his friend countdown to 3. I'm chillin' in 1st gear, not break boosting. He drops to 1 finger and we both go WOT. He gets the typical V8 torque jump and puts a car on me. It doesn't take long for my turbo to hit full boost at about 3200 RPM and I start pulling him dirty. I shut down in the top of 3rd at around 85-90mph with 3 cars on the Mustang.

nice kill. You can't ever underestimate a DSM, it could be a 14 second car, it could be an 11 second car. Thought everybody knew that by now. :biggrin: What are your mods?

Yeah he tried yelling it at first but our cars were too loud so he just used his fingers lol

Don't really care to disclose my mods, I'll just leave it at this: Cams, ported turbo, 19psi, DSMLink. :)
