98 Ultra vs. 98ish Eclipse

About 20 min ago me and my friend are cruising down the road when a red eclipse with a bodykit and a fartcan cuts me off and continues to drive like a dick. We both make a right turn, he goes to the right lane and I go to the left flying by him to catch his attention. He gets it alright. We come to the light and he looks at me with a big grin on his face... green and were off first 5 sec he's about a car behind, as soon as I shifted to second and my supercharger kicks in all the way I just put about 6 bus length at him. Never saw him again. Another kill for the grandpa mobile:)

Nice kill gramps.

You supercharger already doneth kicketh in..when you pushed the accelerator...


Good kill though :)

depending on the amount of pressure the super is putting into the eng, it'll be on always, but like a turbo not at full blast instantly, that's y my friends saleen is slow off the line, but hual's ass after a 5mph

its probably a centrifugal supercharger, the roots type make peak torque at a low RPM, the centrifugal acts more like a turbo making power in the upper powerband.

Once I get out of the hole in my car its power is 0-80 and then its like hitting a brick wall on top end...I guess thats why I like to run light to light... Cant get up to that speed usually... I have recently been taking nothing but asswhoopings when I'm racing lately. To sad to post about though...

And 6 bus lengths is a bit over exagerated. If that were the case the guy was for sure not racing you, but nice win in the grampamobile...

No it's got the 3800 Series 2 K engine, definately not centrifugal. Although there is a company in the northeast that builds those engines with a turbo, a local doctor around here brings his Bonneville in with a 3800 Series 2 turbocharged engine, it's a pretty bad ass ride.

Nice kill. I have raced I think it was like an RS or a GS DSM and I think the only way I could have lossed is if I was going in reverse.

But hey!!!! good run...:)

...a red eclipse with a bodykit and a fartcan...

You sure it wasnt a green one with neons, stickers, roof scoop, cool-air intake, NOS-fogger system and a T-4 turbo?

I would hope so. They have a neon engine in them with an even heavier body.

Not like theres anything wrong with neon engines. O_o

nothing wrong with neon engine's at all, that's y i dont get y people say the civic will outlast it, well if i do oil, belt, brakes, tires, and few other things, i'll get a lot of miles out of the bastard

Nice kill...

don't forget the stand alone engine management system

^^ :lol: forgot that one

Not a bad way to spend $10,000...

Nice imagnatoin on the 6 bus lenghts

o if only i had 10g to put into my stealth, granted i still owe 11g on it

^^^^ What, did you just get it yesterday?

the fast and the furious quotes never get old for me

actually 8700 for it, then taxes and some other things i owe my parents, so really 9200 for the stealth, but tt, i've seen em go for 15g, so i got a good deal
