Mitsus must really blow, kill story Options

[FallenHero]

Ok, I'm riding home from school tonight when this guy in a new Mitsubishi Eclipse pulls up beside me and just parallels me... THEN, I hear his engine begin to roar and he starts to take off. SO, I drop the hammer. I expect to be destroyed, but I started catching him, (I could hear his engine, he was running the hell out of that car) and I SO OWNED him. How is that possible? I thought even the crap Eclipses were faster than our cars. Keep in mind I ran him from about 70 to 110ish and then had to slow for traffic. Are they just that slow at speed or something?

the new eclipses are a lot heavier from what i have heard, which is why the higher models now have the v6 engine that was in the base model 3000gt. i would assume that unless the i4 version were highly modded, it would be on the slow side. a 95-99 eclipse rs and gs are a little faster. dont even try against a gst or a gsx, as with paulo's mr2, it will be a waste of time and gas. and Kuya, if i had a car like yours, or your borther's i too would let people get ahead then blow by them. btw, how much psi is 1 bar again?

About 14 psi. After Paolo get's his water injection, he's gonna bump it up to 18.
