Default got killed tonite

from a dig, my 03 Gt vs a 2007 Eclipse GT 6 speed. light turned green we both take off it was dead even till he hit third gear he gained about a 1/4 car length on me. then we had to stop traffic. i thought i would have took him but guess not. they are fast cars.

They can run low 14's stock with a good driver, so I take it your an auto or got out-driven. Nice death.

I'd say thats why you lost, but there have been plenty of stock auto 99-04 GT's run 14.3-14.4 stock, and with your mods your probably down to a 14 flat or so. He must be a great driver or have had an intake or exhaust.

If he really is stock than he must be one hell of a driver. I've heard the new Eclipse GT's run 14.1-14.2, and you should be alittle faster than that.
