Beat By a Mitsubishi Eclipse

[PremiumPony]

OK.

I rarely come on the net unless it's to get parts for my cars (1968 Mercury Cougar, 1971 Ford Fastback, 2000 SVT Cobra R ) But i need to find out what the hell happen.

Situation:

I just bought the Corba about a year ago and she runs sweet. I was coming home late last night and pulled up beside a Black Eclipse(one of the new ones). The car looked slow/cheasy(my opinion) and had a nice set of rims, Carbon hood and the ricer sticker on the side window "Ripp Modified."

The guys moves up to the crosswalk line and revs his engine. I think to myself.....You've got to be shittin' me, This guy can't be serious. My car will eat his piece of shit alive. I have a V* and he has what maybe a 4Cyl. His rev even sounded like shit.

The light turns green and before I am in 3rd his car is at least 4+ cars in front of me. By the time we have gone though 3 intersections he's 5cars fwd.


We end at the 6th and he's there waiting & as i pull up I see he has an RS badge on the rear bumper. He rolls down the window and says "Nice car," and turns Left. What an....ASSHOLE!

the next day i went to a Mitsubishi Dealershit to see what the RS was pushing. the dealer tells me that the rs is the base model and if I was looking for power I might want to take a look at the GTS, a car whos HP is maybe 210. I am pushing 390 hp easy. So how the hell did an RS beat the shit outta my car?
