I raced a 2002 Eclipse, midrange model (don't know call letters), with my slightly modified Civic. It had some pickup and was catching up to me but I outdrove him most of the way. He won when I got cut off by some jerkoff in a T-bird. This race was through a busy street. Irresponcible me. I think the main reason he caught up is because there was no official start to the race and my auto was already in 4th and it never downshifted. If I had done it manually, I'm pretty sure I would have won. Oh, yeah, I didn't have my Kumho's on the car since it was this winter.
