Miata vs SN95 GT vs NEON disguised as eclipse...
i was on my way home last night from south tampa and came off onto HWY 60 from I-75..
a few blocks down hwy 60 i came across a red Mitsu Eclipse RS with the ever-so popular pillar gauges.. stock exhaust... stock everything... just gauges... i keep it in fifth gear and floor it he downshifts and i still pull on him.. Gotta love the factory 4.30:1 gearset in the miata! As we mess with each other from light to light a black 94 or 95 GT with a white cowlinduction hood comes up next to us. i had no intent of messing with the mustang but i figured.. what the hell.. the guy seemed cool (read: not a mullet).
As the light turns green we all calmly roll from the line and after maybe 10 feet i mash it completely insink with the mustang. i actually pulled HARD on him (he was spinning) then he came up on my door. I barked the hell out of second.. he grinded the hell out of his second gear cluster... i had a good foot or two space between us when he and i caught third and of course he walked me. but it was funny how bad i embarrassed him in the fight for the 330 mark. we stopped at the next light (in front of the blockbuster) and i gave him a respectful nod. about 5 seconds later... the eclipse caught up.. HAHAHA...
the eclipse proceeded to *try* and keep up with me.. he didnt have a chance when it came time to turn! haha i was power sliding everychance i got and just absolutley EMBARASSING him in the straight.. i had no idea they were THAT slow! when i came around onto lumsden i slowed down to 80 or so and he did the typical flyby... he had to have felt really daned small...
not a bad night in all...
