omfg slow
ok coming home from work i had an encounter with an eclipse gst. wow was it slow. stock i was guessing but it had the 3 gauge pod thing and all that stuff. clean looking car but damn, we came to a light and i wasnt raceing cuz i was tired from working. so i just took off normal. got to bout 3k then shifted into 2nd and when i shifted into second all i hear is wooshhhh. by the time i was in second he was in 3rd blowin off at me and damn it was slow. he took off and i sware if i did race him i would take him it was just so damn slow. they are supposed to be fast. maybe i would loose in the long run but it was really slow. should have raced him, see what my car would do but i didnt

hmm... so you shifted at 3K from 1st to 2nd which is normal driving, but he was in 3rd. Assumining that both of you left the traffic light at the same time, if he's shifting into 3rd gear already (assuming he was WOT & redlining 1st and 2nd), then I think that is pretty fast. Please clarify....

if you have a turbo in stock form, and yet you're not as fast as a hybrid vehicle, then you're slower than slow.
