SS/SC vs 2nd Gen Eclipse GS-T
Had a lot on my mind lately, and when that happens I like to go driving. It calms me down and frees my mind. So when I got off work at 8, I went out driving. Temp gauge in the car reads 3*F... I hate cold weather. I drive around for an hour, dreaming of Texas... and dreaming of summer time when I can drive with the Sunroof open and the windows down. I'm a windows down sort of guy... I could own a car with no A/C... it wouldn't bother me. So at 9pm my girlfriend calls me and asks where I am... blah blah blah. SO I go pick her up. We drive for about an hour, discussing each others days/weeks. I go down my favorite road and do my usual turn around at the Wal-Mart... But as I come to the Red light to get back on to the road... there is a Silver 2nd gen Eclipse GS-T... lowered... and no exhaust pipe that I can see. We each turn on to the road... in the back of my head I here a voice saying, "Yesssss... You know they want it!". So we sort of cruise at 35... then he gives me a BOV Salute. I let out a good S/C Scream. But we get caught at the light next to Speed way. He rolls down the passenger window... I roll down mine. "Wanna Go?", He asks. Ha, do I wanna go... "Totally." "Nine Nine?" (Code for a back road.) "Sweet." Window goes up. I recognize that it is someone I have played with before. The night of my local group's End of Year GTG, I did a few 2nd gear pulls with him... I pulled maybe a few inches. So I am interested in what is in store. I am a BIG fan of the 2nd gen Eclipse's... always loved them.
We drive down to the Taco Bell... messing around a bit... not hammering it to let him know what I got. I flash my Turn signal to let him know to get over... we pull a Hairpin turn and head back towards our destination. I do a steady 35 with him following all the way to the intersection next to "9-9". ****... a big rig was hauling ass down 9-9... looking to spoil the fun. Yellow Light.... Will he stop?..... YES! I turn right and take the right lane, dropping my window down halfway. He pulls up and puts his front fender at my side mirror. Then he honks... Honk again and I hear the turbo start to spool... Third honk... We take off! I spin my tires through 2nd but manage to pull a car... shift to third and GRIP! WHIIIINE myself a 7 car lead through Third... put it in fourth and and look back... my g/f asks...
"Where the hell is he? Is that him WAY back there?"
"Haha, yes baby... it is... That's what we call an ASS Whooping!"
I cruise to the stop sign then I make my way back to Wal-Mart and pull in... to check out rides. We introduced... he says he is Stock and I popped my hood and showed him what I got... We were both cold as hell... so we went our separate ways. It was good to get the blood pumping again (Mine and the Car's
)! Can't wait for Warm Weather ;D!

Yea im not sure what the exact numbers are that these GS-T's put down but they seem to be inbetween a 2.4L and a 2.0L cobalt. My friend has a GS-T and he pulls on my 2.4, but not by much, I'm guessing it'd be more evenly matched for a stock SS/SC
nice kill btw
nice kill btw
