Owned the Mitsubishi Eclipse
So my friend, Dalton, got a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS about a year ago and has been bugging me to race. He is completely convinced that his car will beat mine. And when I say completely convinced, I mean there is no changing his mine.
Well, that was until Saturday. The other day, I just so happened to pull up next to him at a stop light and we were the first two in traffic. He saw me and waved, so of course I revved my engine. He revved his back, and as soon as the light turned green, I dropped her into third and took off. I was far enough ahead so I let off the gas to let him catch up thinking he would slow down next to me. Nope, he just kept on going. So again, I took off. I caught up and proceeded to pass him. I think my top speed was around 85. Fittingly, after our short shoot-out we pulled into Advanced Auto Parts. He was totally tweaking out "I f*ing red lined my car, how fast were you going?" And I said my car was pushing at a comfortable 4000 rpm and topped around 85. I think he now knows that my car, stock, will beat his (slightly) modded Eclipse. Pwn'd. |
nice kill! Im still trying to find an SS to race me around here, but I dont see any of them... :(
those 06+ SS's are pretty sick cars! |
nice kill lol, you shifted into 3rd? lol
|
nice kill....i havent got to mess with anyone around here with my monte yet
|
His puny 4 cylinder stood no chance against your V8. He's a moron. My Honda's faster than his Eclipse lol and I know you'd destroy me. Nice kill

xert, nice kill! I think it's funny that he tried a ricer fly-by and you still beat that, lol. That generation Eclipse is a joke though. Especially if he thought he could beat a V8 SS. |
oh, it just didnt make sense to me lol.
what else would allow you to shift to 4th at high speeds? |

Keeping it in OD

If you don't have OD engaged, it won't shift into "4th"
|
Haha, he was definitely mistaken.
|
Haha yeah! He was so freaking adamant that he would beat me. So yesterday I was talking to him and he goes "yeah well if my car had a V8 it would have won."
That may be so, however it doesn't and you still lost to a girl. So shifting into third really doesn't do much, then? Oh well. It didn't hurt anything, so that's all that matters. It was a good time. |

It was a good time. i passed a newer modded eclipse yesterday and i turned to my brother and told him "this is what a ricer flyby is". floored it and the kid jumped in his seat from the sound of my intake lol |
I sure hope you beat that Mitsu. Poor lil I4...
|
so shifting... automatic?
Ok so im curious by what you mean about being able to shift in the an automatic. When you say switching it to 3rd you mean the drive selector? And does it have any benifits doing so in an automatic?. Im just asking because I am curious
