Default deat to.....an eclipse


well heres a death

so i was on my way back last night after droping off a budy.
it was around 12 at night. i pull up to a light with a black eclipse with what looked like nothing more than a fart canon. i take off kinda fast and the eclipse bites! we go from a 15 roll[&:], and (since im an auto) i just step on it. i held him off until what seemed the begining of his third gear (heard him shift twice)
then he left me by about a car. next light we take off from a dig again and i leave him beahind by about
a half a car then we had to slow down due to traffic. all in all i think it was a good race given the circumstances.

















































btw: i was in my dads astro

do you know if it was the new eclipse, the 4G, or the 3G, or what? If it were the 4G eclipse GT, you would have a little trouble. They are rated at 225 HP at the wheels and about 263 at the crank. low 14 sec. car. If it was a 3G, then you should have beat him, only rated at about 180 HP at the wheels. Quick, but not that quick.
