Me VS Brand New Eclipse
 

Alright, I dont sreet race, I got caught awhile ago and I decided never to do it again. Anyways I pull up to a stop light, what do you know a brand new eclipse is sitting their. He rolls down his window and says hey isnt that the car that bows down to mine on tv? As you can assume I am pretty upset at this point, and I said the only thing that would be bowing down is you to my tailights. Anyways he revs a little bit and im like f*ck it, light turns green, I launch at 2500, and it was even close, maybe 4-5 car lengths if not more by the time I hit 90. Lol he made a right at the next stop light as I was waiting for him.Now here is the killer, I drive an Automatic, and yes I was using the hold feature. Mods in sig, I honestly thought it would of been closer, considering they acclaim 260 hp and I drive an automtic with only dp and cb. I have no money for a 5 sp swap but its on the list of things to do.

nice kill, I don't get why they put the FD bowing down to the eclipse, they ain't nothing special, I would rather have a 2g GS-T or GSX before I ever buy the newer eclipse.

Aren't the new Eclipses pretty damn heavy also?

They weight in at 3,500 lbs and it supposidly does a 14.4 second 1/4 mile and goes from 0-60 in 5.8 seconds. They are hidious cars and i really don't understand why they used a 7 in their stupid commercial....why not the new rx-8 (that i could possibly understand for competitive marketing of the new cars but putting a 7 in there just makes zero sense to me) The new eclipse has nothing on a 3rd gen Rx-7! And i can't wait for someone in a new eclipse to pull up to me at a light and say..."isn't that the car that bows to mine in the commercial?"....I'll have to rip him a new one after a remark like that.

They are also testing the new eclipses on the Speed channel saturday at 3pm, just thought i'd share incase anyone is interested in seeing how crappy they really are. I wanted to see it but i'm going to be at work, so make sure you let me know if the damn thing falls apart during testing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA great kill..........I wanna see more of these...........now to humiliate them more....have some FC's kill them .

I've wanted to get ahold of 1 for a while. I know i'll catch one and he'll think hey thats the car that bows to mine. What a joke.

That is friggin' awesome. I pray that a similar situation happens to me......that s.o.b. will be back at the shitzubishi dealership before you can say "damn, that 7 must be sprayin' the nozzzz" :bigthumb:

i cant wait till i find one of those damn things. iv been looking for one ever since i saw the advertising for it. he be seeing my stock auto's tail light ( other light is out )

We need to get some footage of them getting spanked, post it on DSM sites and send a copy to mitsu marketing/advertising department

Great Kill, those new Eclipses are a joke!

im looking for one as we speak! KILL THEM ALL

nice kill also



to really humiliate them kill the shitsubishi with a 1st gen

revenge!!

:bigthumb:

Saw a new Eclipse on the road..

and my GOD.. they are one of the ugliest new cars to come to market.

Would Love to catch one of those pos's

good kill! just play their drum theme when you beat the $h*t outta em!






note: was drunk when i wrote this (does it really matter?)

not bad for a car that can run even with a twin turbo sports car up til 90..

was the eclipse stick do you now?

i think you missread his post. he was 4-5 cars ahead my 90

Ya I am almost positive it was a manual.

As far as I consider we should amke a comparison test between the new eclipse and an FD and see tho would win and once FD distroys eclipses ass we should send a nice letter to the mitsubishi people asking to pull that commercial of the air.

Post if you argee to that

yeah they should get sue for that for false advertising!

Plus like that guy sead "isnt thats the car that bows to mine" I thing this is making fun of FD and it could hurt my feelings :sad: and I could go and sue the living shit out of them. Thats what I think becouse my wife drives the FD and she got couple remarks like that and Im geting tired of that. By the way if anybody is interested in doing this match up I will volunteer my car since it is stock and I doubt that anybody else on this web site has a stock FD. :bigthumb:

We should make our own commerical and post it up here on the net and send it to the Mitsu sites.

Thats a preaty good idea.

haha that'd be hot!!

or maybe make the eclipse see the FD, then back off and turn the other way limping with smoke coming out of the exhaust like it broke down or something lol
