Default S2k vs. talon/eclipse turbo

I couldn't tell exactly what car it was because from what I could see it was completely covered in a primer coat. I recognized it as an older style eclipse or talon turbo.

We managed to get stopped at a stop light so we could go from a dig and he told me that he was running at 14 psi on a stock motor. He knew I was supercharged and thought that he might take me off the line. I am unsure about his other mods. We both launched and at about 100 mph he was around 6-7 carlengths behind.


*Side Note* - On my way home I was stopped at another red light and a Geo with off center racing stripes pulled up next to me. There was loud music coming from it so I looked over a few times at the car and the driver and had a feeling he was going to take off. The light turned green and sure enough here we go. It was a tough race, but I managed to pull out a win without ever breaking 5000 rpms.

Nice kill bro


All I can say is that I beat my friends LS integra without hitting VTEC from a dead stop and a LS will definately beat down a Geo of anykind....
