Beat a GST Eclipse
Yes, My friend and I were on the way home and this 5spd GST eclipse comes out and follows me and we got onto the interstate and he went flying by (had exhaust) Well I followed and we took an exit onto a long road that is always empty at night and well I got next to him and got on it and he didnt do anything so slew down and then he got on it and got by so finally we even up at around 30-40? Finally went for it and it was closely even but I slowly just started to pull away from him. Not bad I say for the auto v6 to bad my friend cant work technology or Id have the vid to show.
....congratz.

well that wasnt what i was implying. i was implying that since the base model is as slow as it is and ive beaten eclipse GT's, then the GST doesnt really seem that fast at all. Slow cars from base to highest engine option

Holy Crap the irony! I came up to a silver GS-T at a stop light today going to pick up lindsey, and i didnt even gun it until i heard his exhaust go all loud like, i beat him off the line by about a car length then pulled to about 2 at about 60 when he let off. It was awesome, i could hear his turbo and i could tell it was a 5 speed by how it was shifting, surprised me...slow cars indeed.
