First Kill in the new Mach-Pics added of New Mach and SI

Its an automatic 04 Mach, no mods. Picked it up tonight after work and didn't make it far before someone wanted to race. It was an Eclipse, not sure of the year, but it was definetly turbo charged. He kept weaving in and out behind me and ended up getting on my *** and staying there for about a mile. He was close enough that I couldn't see his headlights. We were coming up on a 4 lane street, so I slowed down to 20 mph and slid over into the left lane leaving him an opening to gun it past me on the right. He came up next to me, slowed down and stayed even with me for about 3 seconds, then nailed it. I got on it too, but by the time my tranny downshifted, he got ahead by half a car. Once I got going, I pulled past him. I could hear his BOV when I passed. Ended up with about 1.5-2 cars between us once we hit 80mph. I shut it down there. I was a little nervous about it since I have no real idea of what my car is capable of off paper, and due to the fact that Eclipses can be nasty. Anyway, sorry for sharing such a weak story, I just had to considering it's been awhile since I had a decent run. Its nice to be back in the seat of a Mach.

Na, I traded the first 2004 Mach on the SI. I just could'nt take it any longer, so now I have both the SI and a Mach.

Nice Job!

Those Eclipses can be nasty. My friend has a GSX and he just bought a new motor for it, without the turbo its pushing out 600HP, with turbo at 20lbs (he is only going to run it at 7lbs) he can expect around 800 hp! The problem is... theres nothing stock about the car...
