1998 Grand Prix GT vs. Mitsubishi Eclipse GS

[intervention]

So I was cruising around on broadway burning time awaiting for the midnight release of call of duty 6. My buddy and I kept seeing this 2g Eclipse, definitely non-turbo, messing around on the other side of the road, we always missed him on every lap we did. I kept wavin' at him everytime we passed until finally saw him do a u-turn in the middle of the road. So we lined up at a red light. I looked at him and pointed towards the road and he nodded. I turned TRAC off and put the brake to the floor and gassed it to about 1700rpms. It went green. I got a perfect launch. I was a good 2 car lengths ahead of him the whole time as I kept hearing him redline with his fleet farm muffler. I kept pulling away. I heard him miss his 3rd gear shift and he immediately slammed the brakes and did another u-turn in the middle of the road as he flipped me off.

damn rice-ahs.

Good job pulling on a 420A...those are solid low 17 second cars or mid to high 16 second cars with mods...so yeah...2 cars on a 17 second car?

To be fair, so are most GPGT's haha

You should run an I4 third gen F-body!

It wasn't called the iron duke as a joke.

92 HP in a 3200 pound car. thats RICE fast.

[blueguy]

Try an iron duke in a 3600lb. Buick Century...with a 3 -spd.

Talk about FAST. I'm talking 20's in the 1/4 with a GOOD launch

[matt5112]

and not low 20's either... So fast you won't even see it coming... because it'll still be 10 miles out.

[blueguy]

Yeah...low 20's LOL

My best was a 18.97 @ 70 something...that was with open TBI and straight pipe. Epic win.

[matt5112]

Thats actually impressive given the power situation.

[blueguy]

Well...I'm just saying considering they made a decent amount of torque...but god...90 horsepower?

[matt5112]

Was half a 305 which made torque and ZERO power.

Look at all the "positive" aspects of this engine. Its amazing this article isn't flagged, might mean those things are actually true.

Racing in/against slow cars is 10X more fun then racing "fast" cars.

i can't tell when you guys are being sarcastic or not and I usually have a great sense of humor, but this is getting stupid.

[KawaFord]

If you're referring to my comment, I was serious.

[02gtpsleeper]

i thought the iron duke was in the inline 6 4.0 in the jeep cherokee's

[Bio248]

slow races are more fun because they last longer.

Iron dude was a TBI or carb 4 banger they gave that 2.5 GM came out with because it was ALL IRON and never died

I disagree, then again, I disagree with almost everything you post
