STi vs Eclipse GST

Last night i was out cruising with some friends, one of them had just upgraded from an automatic LS1 Camaro to a 6 Speed WS6 so we were out being stupid. All night this Eclipse had kept flying by the other way making sure we heard his BOV as he went past, finally i was able to make a turn and catch up to him, i finally lined up with him about three blocks away from where i saw him. I turned the DCCD on manual and put the knob all the way to the rear for a better launch. The light turned green and i slipped the clutch out around 5K and immediately pulled probably about 3-4 cars on him and he never caught or had a chance.
About 2 blocks later he pulled up next to me and gunned it at about 35 mph, i gave him a bit of a head start, i went from second to third and once i hit third i pulled on him pretty hard, shut it down around 85 and never saw him again because he turned off.
The Eclipse looked like a 98 and i'm pretty sure it was a GST but it looked and sounded good, i still have a soft spot for those cars. Not a bad night, not my best kill but i was pretty happy to get a nice car like that on a weekday.

Go Joshy!
You're my hero!... next to the dude down the street that patched a flat tire I had and rotated my tires for free. Now that dude rocks, but you come in a solid second place behind him. Definately.

Nice kill. You should post your races more often. Well done one the Vr4 especially. From what I have read STi's give a VR4 a damn good race until it gets into higher speeds where the scooby drops off some due to the smaller turbo and aerodynamics. Well done. :thumbsup:
