Ok guys, let's here it. What ya got, what did you race against and what were the results.

I raced a mitsubishi eclipse in 1/8 mile and won by about 5 quad lengths on a 250r(only had k&n at the time)

I was on my sled once, and I lined it up against this guy on a nice lookin raptor, and I kicked his A%$, he was on the road and I was on the field next to him.

I have raced a Pontiac Boneville SSEI and a Grand Prix GTP and I beat both of them by about 10 quad lengths in about an eigth of a mile..........
I raced my truck against my quad when it was stock and pulled about 5 lengths on it till I topped out and my truck flew by goin about 120...........LoL

uhm...........a 2001 Mustang V-6 5speed with High comp pistons a chip, and I later found out that he had nitrous even though he wouldn't admit it......we only raced about 300ft and he just quit trying........I put about 10-15 lengths onhim then.......that was my only race after my 686 rebuild.......and I was still geared really low......12/40

You would think that instead of dumping all that money into a V6 stang that he would have just opted for the V8???? Way more power potential than the V6

Smoked a Camaro Z28, Cobra, Cherokee, Camaro SS, Sentra Type R, 3000 GT, Banshee w/T5's and an old Eclipse. All of this was in the 1/8mi track with a best time of 8.7 I think @ 70 mph. I posted this info in a thread a while ago.

I don't know what year...one of the 1st ones I'm sure. It's my neighbors by my Moms so I wouldnt be able to find out til the weekend. I'm 99% sure it isn't a turbo. I beat it by about +5 my first day riding it....but after I got my power down and my clutch fixed the lenths would have been a lot more...we have never raced since tho. I can getback to you on this if you want though.
After I got my clutch fixed and my idle fixed so I didnt have to let off the gas a lot when I shifted I would have put money that I would have taken the eclipse in a 1/4...he says he could barely pull over 70 in a 1/4 with it
