Default Killed an Eclipse

Since I'm new to this, I'm proud...it was an Eclipse GT...not the newest model, the one right before...

3am, RT-8 in CT, NO ONE on the road...we went from a dead stop. He got me from the launch by about a half a car length, and held that for a few seconds, then I saw an orange light go on near his passenger side, figured he had something special...apparently he didn't...I nailed third and that was the end of it...he flashed his high beams, and got off 2 exits later...that 93 tune from Brenspeed worked wonders!!!!!!!

Just thought I'd share

Wow, I never knew that. Guess it didn't help him though!

Eclipse GT manual is low 15's, auto is high 15's. Either way good kill, if it was a manual, impressive.
