One of the local rednecks girlfriends just got a newer model GS-T Eclipse. I figured they think it is bad because it has probably beaten some of their Z71 pickups. They want to run me thinking they have found something that will beat me. I don't know why since I have beaten my friends GSX. I guess it is because it looks newer. They are acting so cocky as usual, and I would love to burn'em. I know I can beat it, but I want to spot them a couple of car lengths if I do race just to tick them off. It is an auto. From my experience DSM auto's suck big time. How many car lengths could I give him on a 1/2mi stretch. 1 maybe 2. Thanks.

 

Give him 27 car lengths, and then turn around and go home

 

why would you race a 1/2 mile....what track is a half mile? I know what track it is....none.....what are you doin a high speed run...come on...some GS-T's are faster than others....I know of 2 of them around here..both are 5 speeds...one runs a 14.8 with BOV, and the other runs 15.1 with intake and exhuast....also autos can be better in some situations so don't underestimate it....good luck and try racin on a 1/4 mile track

 

ActiveAero - did you ever get that F&F flames-out-your-exhaust thing working?

 

I didn't say it was a track. We race on the local power plant's industrial road down by the river. Dead straight road for about 7/10 of a mile. No traffic crossings since it is fenced off on both sides with about 100ft of grass between the road and fence. Basically the perfect racing spot.

 

*sigh* I see this going nowhere good.

 

Not flamin, but dont get cocky. You could make a mistake, and they could beat you. I know it is unlikey....but just race them fair and square, forget that cockiness. Oh yeah, and on a track if possible

just make sure they have no sneaky petes. lol should be a good race though, do it on the track though.
