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?

yea in my 97 gs-t i can beat the new V6 GT eclipses and easily the GS ones



they are not that fast at all


i can hang pretty good with the Tiburon V6's as well


both of those cars are really heavy

when i first got the car i could win.



edit: now i have some new mods and they dont stand a chance. they just think that they are cool cuz its a new car.

punk ass foos

With these stats, GT2GT4, I would be ashamed of you if you lost to any one of the other cars (stock for stock) with your GS-T.
