This happened this past weekend, I was hanging out with my friends waiting for one of my buddies car to get fixed. Anyway one of buddies friends pulls up in his 03 eclipse which is AT. All he has in it is an air filter. So were just messin around talking about cars and watcjed a few other guys race.( since this bodys shop has about a mile streight away before the are any ral roads.)
We watched a 3000gt vs 01 prelude, prelude won by 1/4 car. and we watched that same prelude race 99 civic with sir engine(civic won by 1/4 car.)
So then they were like why dont you race the eclipse. I was kind of sceptical cause i know i have 92hp stock (and i was on my 17's) and he has like 144hp. All i really have is ES intake and axelback exhaust. But i figure i race him anyway thinking i will get smoked.
So we line up, we both burn out ( more me since my car is stick). I have no tach so im listening to engine when to shift. I shift into second and i dont see him on my left. I give it untill like 50mph, anf but it in 3rd when i look back and he is about 1 car lenght behing me. I finally shift into 4th and rach about 80mph when i press the hazard lights, and still one car lenght in from of him.
Anyway I was kind of suprised that I won by that much. Maybe because his car was auto, and i got a good start, but i guess it dont really matter because a win is a win.
