So after I took my brother to pick up his car from the shop... we started heading home and this Accord slowed down next to me (he was in the carpool lane). My brother was following me home the whole way home... and then he sped up. I thought nothing of it... Then he got stuck behind a truck... and we continued cruisin down the freeway at 70 MPH.
About 3 minutes later... when there was an opening to exit the car pool lane... he sped up and pulled up next to my brother... slowed down ... then sped up to race... I saw my brother starting to take off and I had to think for a second if I should join in on the fun. So I decided 5 seconds later... fuggit... why not... it's been a while and it would be fun to surprise the Accord owner with my supposedly-slow ST. So by this time... he was 4 cars lengths ahead... and my brother was 1 ahead of him... I downshifted... and passed him up easily... I could just see him in my rear-view mirrors STRUGGLIN to catch up... BUT he couldn't... So my brother and I slowed down and just let him pass us... cuz getting a ticket isn't worth it... Anyway... that's my story for the day... and my roommate and I were crackin up the whole time home. DAMN BOOST IS TOOOOOO ADDICTING.

GSX's in stock trim, and even slightly modded aren't that fast. For reliability purposes alone, I would rather not bother with them... but if that doesn't bother you, go for it. I'd personally go for an old school Mitsubishi Starion turbo. FR set-up with a monstrous 2.6 liter Turbo 4 banger. Back in the day, this that was faster than 7mgte Supras and Z's... Short of that, the MR-2 is a far better car than the Eclipse GSX, in handling, performance, potential, on and on... If you like 4wd... get a 1st or 2nd gen Alltrac... ;] This post has been edited by Kwanza26: Jan 10, 2004 - 2:43 AM -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
