Default s2k vs m3 and eclipse GT

So after having my s2k for 3 weeks i have raced 2 cars. Eclipse GT and M3.
Eclipse is 07 GT stock. I raced the eclipse GT from a 40 roll on 485 interstate. We both punched it at the same time and were dead even till about 80 when i started pulling away. By time I was at 115 I had one car lenght and I shut down.
I raced the M3 tonight at a stoplight. It was one of my gfs friends talking trash so i had to put him in his place . Well we both roll into first (no launch) then floor it We were the exact same the whole way up to 75 when I shut down. The M3 is a 97 with I/E and ECU.
Before you guys hate on me for street racing I highly do not recommend it and will likly never do it again. Just wanted to share my racing stories! have fun and be safe

There are a few people here that will talk crap about street racing, but most people don't care as long as its not in traffic; this is Street Encounters after all.

Anyways, good runs, kind of disappointing about the Eclipse though, I would have thought you should beat him worse than that.

Have fun with the car, its a blast.

Just to let you guys know I did NOT redline. Shift points were almost exactly 8500-8700.

485? That's where almost all of my encounters take place. I assume you live in Charlotte?
