93PGTZE vs. Eclipse GS(T?)
I posted this over on the Probe forum...and I noticed a few errors, but I'm sick, my head hurts..so deal. 
Probably wasn't a GS-T, but it might have been. I did beat one right after my engine swap a few months back...so, who knows. Anywho, here be the fish tale.

As I get closer, I notice the kitted back end of an Eclipse. No badges..no paint for that matter. Under construction, I suppose.
Soo...we stop at a light, me behind him...light turns green, I keep a respectable distance as we cruise down one lane...it opens up into two..and I jump up next to him. We roll silently by a CHP hub..and about 200ft past..I start toying. He takes the bait and guns it..but seconds after, we pass a green light to see a huge semi backing into a car dealership. I slow up, he slams his brakes, flies left by me, and proceeds into the opposite lanes, while I'm moving through the suicide lane.
We pass the truck and I slide over to give him room. I hear him gun it, so I follow suite in second gear and proceed to jump a couple cars. I run up to about 70 and shut down, as he obviously isn't giving chase.
All in all a short race, but from the sound of the car, it seemed like a GS with exhaust. However....we rolled up to a light, me in the turning lane, him continuing on. He stomps it as he passes, and I hear, rather clearly, the sound of sucking air. It could have been a turbo, but I'm guessing it was simply a CAI.
Now..I have a question. As he went by, he flashed his hazards twice and flipped them off. Typically, it's a sign of 'winning' in an organized drag situation, or a ricer situation...but since I obviously destroyed him...I just took it as 'Nice run man, peace.' Everyone think that's a fair assumption..or was he being dumb? I suppose it doesn't matter either way, just wondering.
So yeah..my story. w00t.

Let me race you!
I'm sick to my ass that there is basically nothing around here that can take me..... one modded SIR, a couple mustangs, that's pretty much it. I want someone to beat me.
oh, and a GSR beat me once, but I was learning to drive at the time.

unless youre boosted......
the klze is nothing to put yourself up against in a 2nd gen GT, the motor has an output of like 200hp i think, im not too good with 2nd gen probes or thier engines for that matter, all i know is that when a klze is put into a 2nd gen....the results are mid-low 14 second times, and add some juice/boost and u got a nasty devil.
