Thread: Short, but satisfying.

So, each day I leave to head to class around 8 in the morning. Occasionally I would see some guy in a blacked-out 04 Mitsubishi eclipse doing the whole "highway warrior" traffic weaving thing on my way. About a month ago, I see him doing his usual routine in my rear view mirror and I don't think anything of it. I take the next exit which leads to a 2 lane road with a stop light not far away and I see the eclipse behind me. As expected, he accelerates and flies past me toward the light, which turned red. The interesting thing with this road is that the speed limit is only 35 and it merges into a SINGLE lane about 500 feet after the light. We were both stopped at the light and I knew that he would gun it to try and beat me to this merge. The light turns green and we both hit it at the same time. He immediately pulls about a car and half ahead while I'm roasting the hockey pucks known as my tires. As soon as I hook up, I easily flew past him just in time to beat him to the merge. I ended up doing about 60 in this 35 zone and promptly slowed down to an appropriate 40. Instead of getting mad, he gave me the thumbs up and we continued on our way to our respective destinations.

The moral of the story is not to brag about beating a crappy eclipse, but rather to share the defeat of Mr. Road Warrior by a slow Grand Prix.

There plenty of cars capable of handing a liter bike his ass. Not on this forum really, but spend some time on svt, and those races pop up fairly frequently.

Have you never heard of tx2k???? There are many many cars that will do that. Yes the rider has much to do with it. But line up a 2000 hp lambo or gtr and the outcome is a pissed off bike.
