Run in with an Eclipse

I was on the highway a few night ago and I see this car come up on me at about 90mph. Then he turns into the other lane and passes. I see that its an 3rd gen eclipse, so I downshift and get right up next to him then we both nail it. I stayed with him till around 100, then he started pulling on me. It was a GT so I don't feel too bad about it. I think I could have kept up with him if I had my headers installed, let the engine breath a little better at high rpm's. But it was fun and he didn't seem like a dumb *****. I've seen him cruisin around here, hopefully I'll get a chance to meet up and talk to him someday.

It is always good to see how your car does against others.

Nice race.
