Default V6 s197 Vs 02 eclipse gts

on our way to the track yesterday i decided to race my friends 02 GTS... which ran a best of 14.5 and a worst of 14.77, so we go from a roll both in thrid gear at about 40.... yea we coulda been in second, but we werent!, he didnt pull at all... 100% even

then we are on the freeway, at about 65 and we start in third again... it is dead even again till the end of 3rd.... then he started to SLOWLY pull in 4th.... and i shut it down at 113 (speed limiter).... at the end of the race he had a car on me...


Now my car was BONE stock.... i have no idea how he didnt pull harder, and i wish i had ran at the track myself... but it was a sport compact day, so i couldnt... but my car SHOULD be running 15.3.... and his IS running 14.5-8.... he shoulda had at least 2-3 cars on me... more or less i was happy with my car..

the V6 isnt a 3v? I was under the impression all 2005+ were 3v, learn something new everyday I guess.
