01 WS6 (Me) versus 2nd generation Eclipse GSX

[2000LS1Z28]

I just wanted to cruise, so I went down Pennsylvania Avenue hoping to get onto the 210 freeway. I get into the left hand turn lane and wait for the light to change, when out of nowhere a 93-99 ish Eclipse GSX pulls up beside me and revs his engine, making a loud whooshing noise (Obviously a blow off valve). He continues to go straight on Pennsylvania. I had to decide whether or not to merge on to the freeway or race this guy. I'm really hesitant at this point because the Montrose area is filled with cops (Glendale Police Dept.). I decided what the heck, got out of the turn lane, and followed in pursuit.

He's held up at a stoplight, and apparently he has another car following suit (A BMW 328i). There's some kids in the back seat saying something to the effect of, "You wanna race". I'm not gonna waste my time on the bimmer, so I ignore the dudes in that car. I'm there for one reason, and one reason alone, and that's to smoke the Eclipse. The driver has passengers in his car. It's a two lane street with him in front of me. I let him go into the right lane. I hear him floor it (His car was loud, and I could hear the blow off valve practically blowing out my ear). I mash the gas, and my car just flat out pulls. That is until I hit that pothole in the road My car hops, as it hops, I grab second, and pass this guy like he was parked. I see his passenger as i'm passing him. Funny how a race that takes soo little time let's you gauge people's reactions. I decided not to grab 3rd, as it's obvious he's short alot of ponies on me. I pull up alongside him, ALL of his passengers are dead silent I think they were surprised I pulled him and blew past him so easily. I told him that he should run me from a dig, but not within that area. He doesn't listen to me and says, "I'll honk 3 times and you go". I told him no, this area is filled with cops, but apparently he doesn't hear me, and he gets on it. I don't bite, as this area is filled with cops (Besides I already stomped him once). He makes a quick right down a street with his buddies in the bimmer behind him. I think they knew who won, because they totally avoided eye contact. I'll take it as a win

You and your WS6... all I have to say is those things are very quick. Good Kill

Domestic- 1
Ricer/Import- 0

oh shoot, i dont want to make this thread go into Import vs Domestic, but the DSM (90-99 mitsu eclipse) are pretty fast. The one you messed with was probably stock and obviously as you told it, the Eclipse has alot of people in it. The driver in that eclipse probably sucked too. If it was a better road with a better driver and without those people in the car, you would have been really impressed for what a 4 banger turbo can do to your V8 muscle car.

Eh, stock for stock, a WS6 would anhiliate a GS-T, GSX, or TSi.

[tha_new_guy]

Good stuff.

And stock for stock, even with an excellent driver in the GSX, it really would be no competition for a WS-6. Mid 13s 1/4 mile >15s 1/4 mile.

lol if the kid in the eclipse was gutted had some basic bolt ons and raced on a perfect road he would still have gotten his ass handed to him.

The title is a no brainer to who won.

First off I use to own a 2003 Evo (Which had the 4g63 engine in it). If the roads were perfect, it would've gotten alot uglier for him. I wouldn't have hit a pothole then. His car had a few bolt ons that were readily noticeable (From the blow off valve to the exhaust). I wasn't going to ask him to pop the hood, so that I could inspect what type of turbo he had. My car pumps out 325 horsepower stock, and it has a few mods. Stock for stock my car runs over a second and a half faster 1/4 mile wise, with equal drivers. That's an ass raping, no matter what way you look at it. I do have respect for Eclipses, but running an LS1 from a roll isn't a good idea in an AWD car, due to parasitic drivetrain losses.
Anyways, thanks for the replies guys.

Please don't talk about ricers, when you have a 150HP powerhouse, that can't beat base-model Civics, let alone the "ricer" that 2000 raced, that you're trying to modify.

Not trying to start anything - just keeping you in perspective.

[turbo2nr]

nice run man.. to bad the dsm wasnt mod enough. i mean if you can hear a bov on a dsm its vented to atm which means he not running as good as he could be b/c they run best re-ciruclated, he was pro. a ricer w/ a big bov to scare off civics.. nice kill
go WS6!

[eclipsed4utoo]

good kill. the eclipse probably had a new BOV, an autozone muffler, gutted cat, and was probably an auto.

[UnderEstimate Me]

People need to stop making excuses for this eclipse...

[eclipsed4utoo]

i was dissing the eclipse more than i was making excuses for him.
