This was a grudge match long in the making. Ever since I moved to my new house some eclipse has constantly been revving his engine past my house. If he's not revving he's flying down my street at 40+mph, and if he's not moving it's because he's sitting at the end of my street waiting for me to drive past him so he can do a burnout and throw gravel at my freshly painted Celica. I had had enough of this guy.

Well the first run you can't call a run because I was stuck behind him. I couldn't tell he was going since I was having to let off while his *** slowly crept to 80mph. I guess he realized he wasn't ditching the "old beater" and got angry so he brake checked me. The ABS is busted in my 7 so I left some nice streaks across the road as a reminder to not race idiots.

Today after fixxing a vac leak I decided to test out the car. I look left and right like a good driver and proceed to pull out onto an empty, wide, flat road surrounded by fields. 5 seconds after turning I check my rearview mirror and see the Eclipse sitting on my rear bumper. Oooh, it's finally my turn. I stick my hand out the window and give him some fingers, 5 fingers that is, and I countdown. I don't know if he could see though since he was that close to my bumper. 3, 2, 1, and I go to 2nd at 40. I look back and see him dropping away faster than anything I had seen before. I must have put 3 or more bus lengths on him.

I thought maybe he hadn't tried, but when I let off he flew up to my rear bumper. To make sure he knew what just happened I proceeded to flash my hazards on and off, probably about 20 times just because the guy had pissed me off so much before. He quickly turned off onto a dead end. Suppose he was embarassed that his non-turbo Eclipse isn't as fast as he thought? My most satisfying race EVER.

 

You should find him and confront him.....smack him like the bitch he is and see what happens

P.S. Good kill

 

Nice kill

 

good kill i had a *** in a new n/a colbalt try to race me i just laughed why do people think that these slow cars they have are faster than what they really are

 

People with NA dsm's do seem to have a complex...

 

small ***** syndrome

sweet kill

 

Dude if someone was throwing gravel at my new freshly painted car, i would definitely have to kick there ***. Nice kill BTW.

 

here in Canada , the N/A cobalt are limited at 180 kmh , my friend's gf has one ,,.. and its soooo funny its like she hits a brick wall !!!

even the new 2006 civic Si are limited to 197 kmh !!!

AHAHAHAHHA OLD SCHOOL JAPS RULES !!!!

 

NICE KILL.

I hate dudes like that. Interesting enough I had a similar experience also with a kid who owned an eclipse. It was the last version of the DSMs. You know the ones that look like they have a tumor on the side of the hood. Yes it was a turbo model I think those are the GSX's.

Anyway this dude lived somewhere near my house and every time he would see me he would rev his engine and BOV then gun it. I'm like "dude? I'm going the other way lol". He did have this god awful body kit with new paint but no FMIC... Judging by his age (at around 18) I would say his only real performance mod was that BOV and muffler. Never got to embarrass him though. After the summer he just disapeared, and I used to run into him at least twice a week. Too bad cuz he was getting on my nerves.

 

That BOV would be hurting performance if he's still running a MAF set-up, but hey, it's cool for a car to run like **** as long as it goes "Psssttt", right?

 

He said it was non turbo, so unless he's got a fake BOV from PepBoys, it doesn't go "Psssttt". Unless he's got a blown tire or overheated it and blew the head gasket (LOL @ head gaskets) or the radiator.

Nice Kill BTW.

 

^^ I believe he was reffering to my experience.

 

The only car I've ever owned that was less reliable than my track-**** FB, was a DSM...

 

I actually used to like DSM's, but then I realized that I would have been just another fish in a huge sea of F&F wannabes.
