had a run with a spyder

well, it was around 11:10 tonight when i was comin home from work, i was just cruisin along the highway doin the speed limit when i came up on this mitsu. eclipse spyder, i slowed down and got a look at the guy.. didn't look more than 18 so i gave him the nod and we punched it goin from about 80.. all the way up through 3rd (5000 rpm) to fourth at redline we hung about even, he maybe gained a half a car, i hit 160 and shut it down.. he was maybe a car in front of me by this time.. i think his car is prettymuch stock with some rims from fountain tire on it. i couldn't hear if the guy was flooring it cause the sound of my sri drowned him out, but i was pleased. my first real race! woohoo lol:biggrin:

edit: that's in kph, not mph :p

lol i was about to throw up the bs flag lol good job sounds like a good race to you know if it was a gst?

no idea, i know where the guy lives tho.. if i go by when it's parked out front i'll take a peek.. i doubt it tho, i've just got an rs.. not really anything super fast.. but it's a fun car to drive

most integras are fun to drive nice lil cars with potential you dont even gotta to a swap well just head swap and your gone lol

If it was a GST you'd know it. I doubt it was. good kill man

Nice job :smile: Though I was hoping for my kind of Spyder instead.

yeah i'll see if i can get in touch with the guy and give him a ring next spring... we'll race, and then he'll see the full potential of what integra can do

The gts's have a 240hp v6 right?

GST is a older model eclipse
The new GTS Spyder has
210HP @ 5750 RPM, and 205TRQ @ 3750 RPM
Curb weight: MT-3329 LBS AT-3395 LBS
The OLD GST spyder has
210HP @ 6000 RPM, and 214TRQ @ 3000 RPM
Curb weight: 3090 LBS

yea...but I cant see a new GTS hanging with a GST....my boy had a GST that ran low low 14's with just a BOV and intake....I cant see that non-turbo V6 doing that....oh sorry....didnt look at the weight....nevermind

Damn.....them GST's are fat slobs....how much did the GSX weigh?

why the heck did they make the new one heavier and with less tq?

The GSX weights 3,270 lbs.

the gsx's are fat but they got that all wheel drive turbo which makes up for it. nice fast little cars. stock.
