RS Eclipse vs. InsaneCivicSedan vs. 280zxt
Welp it happened, sorta.... We were all in shitty running condition last night, but we were out to have some fun, and we did. Insane had 2 300+lbs guys in his car, +2 150ish lbs kids in the back. I was on 15psi, and the RS Eclipse had a blown FPR and running 18psi. Chris was running unknown boost, somewhere between 0-25psi.
So here goes.
The RS Eclipse and I get a small third gear pull. Both side by side until the begining of 4th, and let off. He's tryin to figure out why his regulator hates life, and keeps blowing them up. We BE OH VEE each other a couple times... and head out to gandy to find some fish to fry.
I did not see the RS Eclipse race Chris, but they both told me the outcome...
The eclipse gives Chris the hit, since he had 4 people in his car. Chris gets a good jump on him, and the Eclipse reels him in steady, and passes. This repeated once or twice more. <Enter excuses here>
Chris and I decided to play, I was dialing in my a/f <Yes with a narrowband, I can do it, because im better then you are>. 15psi, and a nice fat a/f. Chris wouldn't slow down past ~60, < excuse>so Im stuck in 4th gear @ 3000rpm < /excuse>. 3rd honk, and we're off, it takes a second for both of us to spool. I get a slight jump, and he makes it back up to my fender, but then he has to shift! So I just keep my fender lead. We ran a couple more times, with similar outcomes, he did pull on me the last run.
All of our cars were at their slowest last night. However, it was all in fun, and we were bored. The RS also got an 03 cobra kill in last night as well. However that was before I got involved into the funnesities.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

Just for the record, I weigh about 270ish, Joe weighs about 380, Jermaine weighs about 240, and Xavier weighs about 200..... Lotta excess weight in a car that was only running 15psi and pig rich....
By the way, the first run with me and mike he missed a gear so i got him, and the second run he didnt miss and started creeping by at 100 or so and I decide to let out because my car was breaking up BAD (to the point Mike and Sean could hear it in Mikes car) and I figured he would just keep creepin by anyway....
But as for the runs with you Jeff, not to talk shit, but I do remember a 40mph roll, and multiple 60's, none of which you pulled on me... But instead of arguing, lets just do it again without all the excess weight in my car
Good runs guys, and I was definitely impressed with Mikes car... Thats a quick little RS hes got there... Although, I think we should run again, minus all the excess weight of course

im not trying to stir the pot, so dont take it that i am...but i can honestly say mike nor i heard your car breaking up, it was all in good fun, and nothing to take seriously, i honestly was surprised mike passed you, his car is very solid when it runs right, unfortunatly, last night it was barely getting out of its own way compared to how we had it last week, im sure once everyone is back up to par, it'll be on again...good runs all..and jeff, i still hate your car

Its cool Sean... He told me when we stopped that he could hear it breaking up... I was honestly surprised that he said that simply because how loud both of our cars were... Mike is a cool guy and Im sure he knows that we were both kinda handicapped that race so it wasnt really a good guage...
And, I am also man enough to say that once his bugs are worked out and everything is said and done and he makes the numbers he wants, even with my car running good on 15-16psi, he will probably beat me... But its all good... Like I said, hes a cool guy, and he was cool about our runs so there will be no hard feelings either way... I for one, am actually very glad to see his car finally hit the streets again....
