GREAT race, i totally didnt expect to win…well heres the story: so i was on my way home from my g/f’s the other nite, cruisin along mindin my own bisiness, when i look into my rear view mirror and notice some bluish headlights gainin on my pretty quick, as it rolls by me at about 50 and im doin 40 i see its a black eclipse with bodykit/rims/exhaust/altezzas,etc., and we just so happened to see the next light turn red. so we both fly up to the light and slam on our brakes and get up to it rollin about 10mph as it turns green again so we both slam 1st gear and fly off. right from the start i pulled a little and by the time i grabbed 2nd with a nice chirp i snagged a half car length and by the end of 3rd a full carlength. i honeslty didnt think i was goin to win cause DSMs run better times than foci do stock, and this one had AT LEAST an exhaust…guess i owe it to my sct xcal2 and my header-back/65mm tb and CAI combo ---

yea but neons are quicker… they have less weight. was that eclipse automatic? or maybe he just didnt know how to drive the eclipse motor is a 2.0dohc… engine code 420a low model motor for the neon is a 2.0sohc engine code s4re upper models including r/ts have the 2.0dohc… no the engine code isnt 420a… its d4re ---

Damn… I may have to look for those cars lol… But the way I see it… he felt his car was ready to line up… he lost. Game over. I’m sure you can easily swap a different engine, or boost it etc… So noone has any idea what the other guy is running unless he tells him. ---
