Smoked Eclipse
 

SMOKED AN ECLIPSE

I was driving on a friday night about 11:30pm.
and a white Eclipse pulled up next to me at the light. it was pretty loud, and looked pretty fixed up. anyways the light turned green and we both gunned it, man it was just too easy, i bet this idiot by atleast 12 car lengths.

so we get to the next light and he revs his engine again, so i roll down my window to see what was up, and he says "lets try it again, this time ill use my shot of nos" i was like cool, the light turned green, and i was beating him by about 5 car lengths and he hit it, he passed me up for like a good 2 seconds, then what do you know i push the pedal the rest of the way down. man i wonder what his gf was thinking after seeing me beat him so bad..

hey baby if your out there wassupp girl!!

350hp at the rear wheels.:eek: WTF you got done to that thing?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

Yea, that's what I'd like to know...

350 rwhp is an insane number coming from a 6 cyl coupe...

Please, give us a mod list.... (I smell a blower at high boost...;))

Nice Kill, and yes like others I'm wondernig how you got this mad power. :D

Hey-I live in Austin and have never noticed you. I checked out your photo (its kid of blurry) is that a pro-stock style hoodscoop you have? I guess that would be about at unique as having a 350 hp v6. We would like to hear your mods. Who built it? Fess up cause when I see you and smoke you by 20 car lengths I will know the truth! Believe me, if I see a black stang with black wheels and a pro-stock hood going the other I will turn around and hunt you suka.

I'm also curious... I'm in San Marcos but I will drive up to Austin to see if your full of **** or not.

Hmmm, enjoy the silence........Did ya'll check the picture? Lets assume this is legit, he would have to have a blower. A roots blower may call for a taller hood but did you see that thing? It looks like something from a funny car. If the scoop is actually functional then what would be under there, a weiand or something? I'm pretty sure there are only a few mfg who make blowers for the V6 and they are all centrifugal types. And you dont need a funny car hood for those. Damn I would love to find him at one of the cruising hang outs. Check out corral net there was a guy this morning who claimed to have a v10 conversion and he was called on it-pretty funny. Corral has a little B.S. flag icon that you can attach to a post, this site needs one.

hmmm...
 

hmmm I'm thinking about raising the BS flag too. Tell us what you got under there.

Yeah I saw the pic lol.... just looks stupid imo. I raised the bs flag on this post a long time ago...

He still hasn't answered back yet....seems mighty suspicous:)

Hmmm....Lemme ask you guys something. He actually said he was loosing for about 2 secs until he pushed the pedal the rest of the way down. Now, would you guys take that kind of pitty on a ricer? I know there's no way I wouldn't go all out from the start, and make sure I don't see him in my mirror's anymore. Ahh...350rwhp? What are all you guys talking about, I don't understand how that isnt realistic :rolleyes: I mean, my friend was pushing about 300rwph in his 4cly '89 LX Aniversary edition. "I swear it has more hp cuz it's the aniversary edition," is all you would hear when loosing to a minivan :D Oh yeah, I added this kid to my AIM list, so I'm gonna have a chat with this big boy when he get's on.

To fully grasp the B.S. nature of this post (350 hp), one might benefit from pondering also the nature of Eclipses. He didnt state the year, but that really doesnt matter based on the facts stated by Mr p.o.s-Let me explain: First, he mentioned a first race where he beat the guy by 12 lengths and then a second race where nitrous was used. He was ahead by 5 car lengths and then the Eclipse "hit it" and passed him for about 2 sec whereupon Mr. p.o.s. decided to utilize the remaining supposed several hundred horsepower he had on hand. To make a long story short if he actually running 350 hp then this makes the second race of particular interest. Acoording to his story the Eclipse passed a 350 hp car at least at some point during the race. This tells us many things about what type of power the Eclipse would need to perform like that. The possibility of a latest generation Eclipse performing like that is unlikely, mods for them are still hard to come by and the chances of coming accross a latest gen Eclipse with the nessessary mods is slim to none (especially in Austin- there aint none). Which leads us to the conclusion if his account of a race is true, that the only type Eclipse capable of generating the power needed for the second race (assuming his car actually has 350hp) are the previous generations of 4 cyl cars (any of the 90-98's I believe). So, you either have an anemic naturally aspirated 16v 4 cyl, or a turbo 4cyl. Which one of these types of engines do you think is most likely to be found with nitrous as a mod? The turbo? No way, an Eclipse built trick enough for a turbo and nitrous would be a rare, awesome machine and would have destoyed him in the first race where no nitrous was used (remember, he says he won by 12 lengths). So we either have an older 4 cyl with a small shot (its all they can take) or a latest generation 6 cyl with a small shot. So with the possible cars narrowed down we can now look at the validity of the second race. He says he was ahead 5 cars and then the Eclipse "hit it" and then FROM 5 CARS BACK PASSED HIM! To jump that hard and fast on a car which has 350HP would take in my estimation the equivalent of a built 5.0 with a 200-250 shot which puts us somwhere near 550 hp.We can now safely conclude that neither the latest gen Eclipse nor the previous 4 cyl with only a shot of nitrous is capable of the size nitrous shot needed to "hit it" and generate 550 hp and instantly fly up 5 car lengths on a 350 hp car. We can also conclude based on the 2 choices of opponent possibilities that he has been passed by a fairly slow car. His account would be just about perfect if he was referring to a race between a normal V-6 Mustang and either of the Eclipses running a small shot (actually the latest gen V6 with a shot is the best guess). This all leads to my final brilliantly deducted conclusion: he has a near-stock V6 and NOT 350hp.

Interesting....you lost me:)

I can understand you being intimidated by my advanced and awesome intellect. Please, read it again, the conclusions are obvious.

lol
 

bwuahahaha, I understood...we all can't be C average students like myself, so don't feel bad...!:rolleyes: :D :p

So his whole story about having a 350 hp v6 is bull crap I take it?? He never wrote anything back....:confused:

I really wanted to hear what he had to say after all of these replies. You would think he would come back with something if he was even close to those rwh figures.

I second the B.S.
 

There is no way that much passing back and forth could be done in one run, as bark3rd said. PERIOD.

Exactly
