Just smoked an M3 in my '98 Eclipse (more) (archive)

It wasn�t pretty; I revved my car to 4000 RPMS and that highly tuned Japanese engine had a high tech song. The veins were probably coming out of my neck when the lights on the cross walk starting flashing; the hand on the shifter was starting to sweat. That sweaty hand could have cost me the race, but a bottle of talcum powder is now my car. As the light changed, I skillfully let off the clutch like a Skip Barber instructor, and the tires budged and barked, but I didn�t let go, there was great exhilaration when I started to pull away, and down the road he could see my Japanese symbols on my bumper, perhaps he�ll learn and remember something from this day, the Eclipse is clearly superior. Perhaps this could motivate the BMW driver to learn Japanese so he can learn the ways of my bumper.

: : >>That thing will flip over while racing any M3 in twisties. So what if it can reach 60 A BIT faster than a M3. At the end of the day, ur still driving a POS Mitsubishi that every 12 year
: : old gangbanger drives. <<

: : Well, owning both an M3 and an Eclipse, the Eclipse has a raw edge that the M3 lacks. There is more detail about the road transmitted to the driver in the Eclipse than in the M3.

: : For $25,000 an Eclipse is a *very* competent car, and a lot of fun to drive -- I can't bear to part with mine!

: : -c

: : p.s. And definitely not a POS -- shame on you...
