eclipse 3.8 gt?
nice ride, but we're really not fans of the whole sticker thing, but I digress.
An eclipse would have a chance from a roll, as they do trap in the high 90s. Still, the S can trap higher so you do have the advantage.
from a stop, the heavy, front-drive eclipse with its open diff is going to be wasting a lot of power on spinning the tires fighting for grip. You won't. You should easily beat him by .5-.8 seconds in a quarter mile. In other words, you could hand him his ass and have him shut up on the whole "torque is king" thing (if that's what he does).
That is, if you drive right.

but as from today or tomorrow, i still like them, so they will be there.
changing rims tomorrow, maybe with the new look, i will take the decals off on thursday morning.
about the eclipse, I guess i will accept the bet, I just want to show him what a 4 cylinder can do lol.
I don't think this should be much of a problem for you. He's got an open-diff FWD car that weighs a lot more than the S2000. If you manage to stick the launch, he'll never get past your rearview mirror.

If I remember correctly, the stickers came with the car when you bought it right?
