took out a kid at my shcool

[jonnyboy9012]

So im sitting at school friday in 5th period and my freind is talking about this kids eclipse, he is saying that its got a small NOS kit (dont know what shot) and its piped and all other kinds of shit so right away im thinking he has alot of money and hes seen the F&F to many times. So since you guys got me hooked on racing when i took out an sti in one of my earler posts i think it is worth a go.

So after 6th period i walk out to my car and put some stuff away and my freind said he had an eclipse so i go and walk the parking lot and i find a red eclipse which looks stock on the outside except for the pipe and i ask the kid walking up to it "is this the eclipse with the small shot and a pipe" and he says yes so we start talking and i ask what he has under the hood and he pops it open he had an intake and the nos kit plus aftermarket headers and it was piped all the way back, so after were done talking he asks me about my ride and he has never seen it and he has never even heard about it so i walk across the lot and start my car up and pull it up next to his, his face looks suprised cause he thought i had an import and he asks what i got under the hood at this point im felling a little inflated so i say "wana to find out" and he just smiles and says "highland ave?" and i reply "why not" so we take off and i follow him out to highland springs ave there is no cars coming or going so we line up and i thought he didnt have his NOS tank filled, We decide to do a 3-2-1 from the window i start heating up the tires and all of a sudden i look over and from under the hood i see a little bit of white smoke come out and i stop my tires spinning and ask him if his tank is charged and he says yes i just got i filled that was the purge you were seeing and my jaw drops because ive never even seen a NOS powered car up close much less raced one, and he starts saying 3 so i take it up to 3k and he says 2 and i decide my last race went bad off the line cause i droped to high so i take it down to 2800 and he says 1-go and i take off like my tires are glued to the road and im thinking now this is the way to do the takeoffs i look back when i shift into second and he is about a car length back so i decide to take it easy on the motor and i shift at 4800 that was a bad idea cause when i looked back he was at my back window so i pre-appologize to my motor and wind here out to 6200 (which is beyond me maxrecommended RPM) and with all my regrets speed shit her into 4th and i start taking back some ground but i know since this is a close race he is going to unleash the bottle so once again i speed shift her at 6200 into 5th and mash the gas and i look back ive took about 1 and a half car lengths so i just hold her down and i look back in my rear mirror and wait to see his front end pop up a little sure enough i see it jump a little and watch him start to catch up his front bumber gets right about to my door when we went through the little dip of a finish line. good race, im hooked for life.

Very nicely done!

I love when imports get smeared (no offense to import fans) go Detroit muscle!!

[jonnyboy9012]

hell ya detroit muscle all the way. when i finally do get my ass handed to me by an import (if it ever happens) i will have to go through some serious therapy. haha.

[chevydrummer76]

man i wanna see some track times on your nova....gonna take it any time soon?

[civicHBsi91]

Ill be the first import to beat you if that's fine with you...

Sorry to say but the eclipse was probably still slow...

[jonnyboy9012]

Ya if you buy me a trailer a truck and pay for my track fee i will bring it out there but as of right now it sucks up a hell of a lot of gas i have no trailer to put it on and i have no truck to pull it. Thats why i only race within 20 minutes of my town cause i am still in high school and i have to pay for the gas and weat and tear. A V-8 is no cheap deal.

edit: the closet drag strip is like 40-50 min away.

[azn3000GTRacer]

lol TT V6 isnt cheap either. espically when premium is at $2.16 It sucks to fill gas now most of the time i will bum a ride from a friend lol and yea if you were in Iowa you would lose to me your first import lost

[civicHBsi91]

Im in highschool too...

[68chevelle]

hey jonny, maybe you should make a special trip out this way on the 29th and go to the drags at the cali speeway. we can meet up and have a little fun. i would run my car there but i have a few problems. i have no traction what so ever. also i dont have a helmet and i cant pass tech cuz of a small oil leak and no radiator catch can. but you could run if you can pass tech. oh yeah do you think you would runn a 13.99, cuz then you would need a brain bucket.

[civicHBsi91]

I highly doubt he's running faster than 13.99

Theres no way an all motor eclipse with a small shot would keep up with him, if anything the eclipse is probably a 15 second car....

[fatninja19]

a small shot eclipse seems pretty quick for keeping up with that 385hp nova to me..

[68chevelle]

yeah, im only making around 370HP, i think, but im making like 430 ft. lbs. of torque, and there is no way that eclips should be able to keep up with me. i out ran a WRX the other night. and i didnt get even with him until about 95 and then just kept pulling away. but either the eclips was pretty fast, or your car is a little slow for what it seems like it should be.

[68chevelle]

wait sorry its saposed to be right at 350HP. incase anyone is wondering where im getting my numbers its from comp cams websight. they dynoed a almost identican engine as mine. only diff is i have 9.5:1 instead of 9.25:1, oh and im 60 over and they are 40. the only reason my engine is as fast as it is is because by 2000RPM's im making almost 350ft.lbs. already.

[civicHBsi91]

well I mean an eclipse gs is what? a 16 second car? a small shot isnt gonna put it in the 13's I doubt he would even see 14's...

[jonnyboy9012]

Ya i should save up my money and go out there but do you have to have a catchcan cause i dont have one and also i dont have a helmet but other then that i should be good. Im accepting donation by the way .
