have to be carfull betting with eclips owners

..........with both cars bone stock you should be able to beat him ......but since there so close ,the driving will make alot of difference .......since you just got your car your probly going to lose your money if you race him right away.......try to put off racing him till you get used to the car (i've seen 1/4 mile times drop like 4-5 tenths as the owner got used to the car --took me a little bit till i could get my car down to it's potential )

also be weary about the definition of stock ......most eclipes aren't bone stock .......with a simple boost controller you can put an eclipes right next to a stock mustang ....with a few other toys you can put a stock mustang in the rear view........so before you race him make sure it's -bone- stock

good luck
