Thread: 2007 Eclipse GT vs 2006 Grand Prix GT

I had one of those "things" rev at me at a stoplight yesterday thinking he was quick...
Bye-bye three diamonds!

What mods do you have? Regardless those " things" are pretty quick. At least the v6. That mivec 3.8 is a good motor

Why would you say that?
Either you're trying to be a smart ass...
OR
You're making assumptions...just like the kid in the Eclipse did.
I'm sure the kid probably ran a stockish GTP in the past and assumed he might have me covered.
I didn't post to brag about beating an Eclipse, I only posted because I thought it was a funny coincidence the OP would post about this on the same day I had an "encounter" with one.

what mods do you have

The **** grin smirk on her face and her waving as she passed me was all I needed , and all I got. I buried myself asking her to race and saying I was gonna smoke her.

Its leaded and I'm fully aware of what it does to cats and o2 sensors. 3 gallons of 110 isn't **** added to pump gas. But to answer your question of why? 93 pump on a hot day I see 4-5 * or. 3 gallons of 110 and zero knock, feels much snappier and quicker overall. No hesitation or bogging either. Seems like a pretty good band aide fix every month or so , if you ask me.

Don't know what's hard to grasp there.

...

Lots of ricer math going on in here.

Thanks for the clarification...not sure what part of my post you didn't understand?
My post wasn't directed at you, it was both a question and a comment for the OP.
By stirring the pot and bringing this back up you only reinforced my point.
Either he was trying to be a smart ass or was making assumptions!
The only ricer math going on here was the OP "assuming" that since I beat the Eclipse it had to be a 4 banger...LOL!

Check again dude. I didn't assume it was a 4 banger. Get your facts straight

How about you read again so you can get your facts straight.
The "OP" was Stealthee. He was the one with the "ricer math" who "assumed" it must have been a 4 banger beacause I beat it.

OK. It's done. Don't care about the he said, she said. All that matters is my girlfriend beat my grand Prix in a roll race with a bubble butt car. That's enough to make me feel like poo for the rest of the week, thank you very much.

Gotcha...My Bad and Sorry for the confusion Camo!
My "OP" meant Other Person not Original poster...LOL

Well off to fix the eclipse .. Again. Blown blower motor resistor. Figures it would happen when it's in the 90s all week

Thanks man. I have no cat and the o2 by where the cat used to be is tuned out. Talking to a few people, they told me the issue about leaded gas years ago, but I still ran it in my SSei quite a bit. If I was running straight leaded 110 I could see going through 2 o2 sensors a year, but I have never had any issues with just a few gallons mixed in with my 93 3-4 times a year. I've actually heard running leaded in moderation is good and can clean the system. Dunno if that's true or not. But its like my old SRT. That ran on e85 and I was told that once or twice a year I should switch the tune back to pump gas and run a few tanks through it. For almost the same reason.

Also where is a good place/ site to buy race gas.? I live in Minnesota and thought there were a few places in the Minneapolis , st Paul area but can't find the site. If nothing else id run race gas just for the smell. Yes , I know I'm weird
