Default stock S2k vs Turbo Eclipse

ran a turbo eclipse last night.. the older bodystyle.. from 40 to 90+ (3rd gear rev limiter) i gained slightly not even 1/2 a car.. not enough to call it a kill.

probably just came down to hitting the shifts a lil better. he said he was running 15 PSI.

He's not running stock. And 1/2-1 car sounds about right.

the turbo eclipses and talons can be tricky sometimes...the s2k should win in the long run cause of higher top speed. stock that is

Are you the guy with a chick that I raced on the feeder of 59?
From what I recalled, I was ahead of you all the way and my colleague was behind me..
Too bad you turned or we can continue down the feeder..

If you are not, then forget it..
