Silly race with a new Eclipse...
Last night I notice a quick weaving car behind me...full set of fake purple zenons.
Anyways, as he closes in, I nail it and put 5+ cars on him in a matter of 5 seconds. He keeps coming back, and I just keep nailing it, just to crush his little ego.
After he drops back, I see hes rearing up for the ricer fly by. hes got at least 30+ mph on me by the time hes side by side with me. I nail it again, and, har har...he never gains more than half a car on me in the first second. again, within 3 seconds I have passed him. If you know, its hard to supress a fly by if they have gotten such a launch on you with muc more mph than you.
At the stop light he doesnt look, and he wont even try to launch on me.
Boy I need a town that has more competition. Id love it back down in FL where it seemed like every car Id line up with, was at least M3 level.

good thing it wasn't a modified gst, but then again, they don't make those anymore!

Hehe.

ya, any car can be fast, well within reason. Who would have thought you could have made a probe fast?? I will admit, when i got my car(probe gt), i wasn't too happy abot he speed, but now my best kill is a supercharged saleen, it wasn't a kill, but i still had him at the end of 3rd
!!
Anyways, i'm soo ready to get a benz, i won't get rid of the probe, since it has everything possible done to it, its just not practical for everyday driving, can't even drive in 1/4 in ch of snow.. Oh well, i still am in love with ur AMG man, thats one tight ride!

okay people, it really annoys me when people say "well, a modded blah blah would've beaten you no problem". well no
$h!t. if you mod a riding lawn mower enough, it could probaby beat a C32, that's not the point.
after all, it's not who crosses the finish line first, it's who's got the three-point-star on the grill.

This is all true, but just the gst alone are fast, and u can make them fast as **** for under 500$$. That was my point, plus it seems like all of them are modified now days.
BUt i agree with the 3 point star, plus id o'nt care if my benz is fast, thats why i have my rice rocket! haha, can't believe i just made fun of myself!
