Talking Just Killed an L!!!! Sorry....

Well I was on my lunch break when I rolled up on a 00 or 99 L and of course there was the rev of the engine and the general nod and it was on. To make a long story short my 97 Eclipse GST took him by about 2 cars. Now if I can only get my F150 to run that fast.

...not doubting you whatsoever, and good win! Make sure you play safe!

Curious, what does your GST have done to it. I know factory vs. factory the L is a bit quicker.

All good. There is allways somebody faster. Nice to have AWD for the hard launches.

Heres another explanation:





Nice kill, what did you do to the GST or was it stock?

You don't list anything about your GST. What makes it fast? There is a guy here at work with a 98 GSX that I have killed several times.

Silver-bolt: The GSX is the AWD model.

I really liked the flying pig!

Cool

I didn't know you could fit an F-16 engine in the Eclipse. Where do you buy gas?

Thumbs down

I owned a 97 GST(traded it for the L) and It was no where near as fast as my truck was when it was bone stock. Maybe the Lightning owner wasn't racing????????

Seems to me like he just wanted to swing a bat in a room full of people and then leave. O-well

GS-T's do not have AWD. They haven't had AWD since the GSX's in the original and 2nd gen body styles.

You guys need to quit harking this poor man, LoL. I had a '92 Talon AWD that would blow my L away. Add in a boost controller, bump the psi up from the factory 10 to 15, and you're already ahead of it.

I know stock, the Talon's ran 6.3 to 60 and 14.8 in the 1/4, while pegging out around 137 to 140 top end. W/ the boost controller they would hit mid 13's in the 1/4. Larger turbo, intercooler, and fuel rails and you're now in the mid 12's easy.
