geo vs. eclipse

[devster18]

Tonight I was at target and I saw a friend from work. We got to talking, and I brought up my new car. I told him that it wasn't too bad, and could probablly beat his eclipse(ok, i got cocky).

We decided to have a quick highway run. We ran from 80. I was in 4th gear, but at a low rpm, so he pretty easily pulled about half a car, I reeled him in pretty quickly and by about 110mph I had pulled him by about 4-5 car lengths.

I'm sure it would have been different it had been a turbo eclipse though.

Yeah...

[Underground_Killah]

wow....

a cocky geo owner heh


kinda reminds me of the kid posting about the kia he had that was super fast.


anyway, great kill man. i'd like to see another fast geo (remember the 9 second geo clip?)

^ I remember it most certainly well. I'd hate to be the poor unsuspecting bastard who went up against that thing.

Good race compadre...good race.

What do you have done to your Geo? I can understand maybe one or two of the kills you've had, including this one, but I think either a)your over estimating how much a car length is or b)your bs'n us. I'm hoping its a...

He is bragging about killing a 18 second car! I have a 98 eclipse GS. it ran 18.2 so why not?

I think its cool to see the Storm doing some ownage.

18.2?!?!?!?!?! holy crap!!! there were a couple eclipse RS ones (new ones) that ran 16.1's and those have similar power and weight ... kinda curious why it wasn't lower?

you sure they were rs? cause back when i had my celica i was beating modded out 3.0 gt's and they didnt seem that fast to me. (just for reference I had a 94 2.2 celica gt with only a short ram intake)

uh ohh the geos are coming up....

[xXxRocker5150]

I thought there was some guy on here a while back that said his geo storm had I/H/E and he couldn't get it past like 80 or 90????

Either way, if you really did beat him, nice job...

actually idk... if i saw a metro at a track id have to know something was up. i mean comon who takes a metro to a track.

the 2 gen 420a eclipses in auto form arent very fast either. they run like high 16s i think.

i remember the guy your talking about, but i think he was capable of getting past 90, anyway i havent seen him in a while, i think he got pissed cause everyone made fun of his car.

positive they were RS's, lightest model, 5 speed. i think that's the only thing they had going for them. honestly if a RS was that close to my GT i'd freak out.

the GT/GTS's run mid-low 15's stock... or they should...

i'd say if you still had it i'd run you just to make up for those 3.0's, i kno the "sportronic/automatic" ones don't run better than 16.4 stock so u mighta been racing one of those

i'd pull the link, but neweclipse.org doesn't like me anymore and they won't let me near their site, if u feel like registering and searching it'd be under "16.1 stock"

[CassiesMan]

I did a search on there for 16.1 Stock and got 271 pages worth of possible threads...wanna narrow it down a bit? Tried again, still cant find why they got mad at you, maybe something different...but damn, I've never seen someone brag so much over cutting a 16.1...

[Gotian]

Well i'm not doubting they have potential, just that that model never really seemed fast to me, I have people who can vouch for me too, Drifty was in the car with me at the time so you could ask him about it.
