Tonight while getting gas an SI pulls up one pump over. Si was kinda fixed up: Rims, pipe huge 747 wing.. Not sure what was under the hood..
Well he does the look over and asks if those things are fast cause he heard they were overwieghted galants.. Humm Cant come back with that one cause he had a good point.. Thanks Mitsu..... So I just luagh back and ask him if he needs to get clearence from the tower to take off everyday with that wing... Funny enough he said yea.. So we talk a bit showingo off our toys.. Hey we both have G-techs... skip the middle crap...

There we were lind up on a long road into the indust park.. Easy 0-60s on this one.. His friend jumps out and we level the G-techs... Both of us could only get a 1 or -1 so we set it to 1..... GO GO GO GO GO blinking away now...
Ready.. The friend stands out front with a flash light(feels like the 50s)
Off goes the light along with both cars...
Of all the nights to get the jump right... YESS..
Just a little chirp and the treads hook up with the road..
The SI didnt get such a good start but is still right there.
2nd chirps as well and he pulled up along side me.. Ahh crap.. I am gonna lose.... AHH magic 3rd.. That was it for him... I pulled out and didnt stop.. time for 4th and he is 2 cars behind.. Hummm That looks like... SHIT... cop..... brakes.. Down shit.. and shift.... trun and bolt... He did the same thing... but not as fast... I get to a light and he comes up behind.. Turns out the cop was not it the car.. GRRRRRR ahhha the g-tech is still running thinking this is the longest 1/4 ever.. "-)
So I won hands down but he says we were neck and neck.. I pull my G-tech down and go to his car....
Eclipse GT 0-60 in 6.43
civic SI 0-60 in 7.02

He still said we were neck and neck..

One happy Eclipse owner here.... Got ****y on the way home and reved up next to what I thought was a Camaro RS.. Right when he hit it I knew it was a Z28.. DO DO DO DOOO not racing here... I Had an 89 Z28 and new it was faster. He had a 99.... Nothing to see here.. :-) WHere is that turbo??

I got it thinking it will be a fun toy... I have not run it next to a real full blown timing comp but looking at posted times over the last 5 months since I've had it it's damn close... Still it's just a toy but if both people are using the same toy the winner is still the winner even if it's off a bit... I think it's down to the 1/10 area...


Here is the site if you want into on the G-tech...

U dont need your friend wih the old stopwatch anymore.. :-) AAhh That's for all us who dont go to the drag strip..

The next SOLO race I run it I will check the skid pad readings with it.... To bad it cant be mounted in the dash.. Having it on the class with a wire running around gets in the way somwtimes.......

NIce kill....
Why on earth would a Z28 owner put RS ground effects on his car and possibly take off the Z28 badge on the back? :)
Hmmmmmmm I wouldnt know any of us Z owners who would do that just to make people think its a six cylinder

Sleepers are big in SoCal... The 90s Mustangs were big on that.. The down played LX type without a wing.. Some had a 5.o it the tiny ver.. I knew a guy who ditched the dual pipes for a single took off the side skirts and slaped an LX on the back.. First rule in any war.. Know your enemy.... He would rev up and get another car to kinda race him.. Boom he was gone and the other driver was left wondering why his top o the line just got it's doors ripped off.. :-)
