I just got a challenge from about a 2000 eclipse with a turbo and injection when it gets back from the shop I dont think it has any suspension work just maybe a good tune. What do you think?

i drew one first round last year- i think it was an 8 second car? he grenaded his transaxle and i took the round, but watching that thing run was scary!


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

They can be really fast, but the fast ones only have a 50/50 chance of making it past the 60 foot beams.

I've come to find that the ones who talk smack all the time arent really that fast.

Watch out for the quiet ones.
If he's calling you out, give him some!

LMAO its supposed to be ready tomorrow, if not first of this week. So hopefully he'll make it to the track sat night. I just heard from one of his inlaws its at a local shop that specialises in these kinds of cars butt also that they are not super experienced and there using mostly left over parts from the shelves of the shop so I'm not as worried butt I also have seen the turbo cars on here and that was enough to worry me at first. Plus if he beats it'll just be time to add some nos to my car to make up the difference I hope.

I know a guy who had one that was stock and he ran 13.30's. But I also know it did not take much to put it in the 11's. Looks like you have about a 10.90 car so I would go for it. Even if it runs low 11's you should get him. But also remember they can run in the 10's with a few more mods. I would just race him and have fun. Good luck. Ron

Be careful of those POS. Just watched a subaru at the t&t last weekend that looked like crap, kid couldn't drive (missed every gear badly) and still turned an 11.40

Easy ten second ride if he could drive it.

That thing sure doesn't look that fast...i guess its just an optical illusion as the clocks dont lie. Sure would be embarassing to get beat by an econo box vacume cleaner like that..lol

Looks to be a Toyota Carolla early early 70s, That paint "color" looks to be an original from them, thats indeed a cool little ride, "scary fast", but he has it set up quit well, wonder what the HP is . IF, & thats a BIG if i ever had a Jap car, it would be that one .

You really can't tell how fast these cars are by there looks, here at our track we have some that are in the low-mid 10s & go over 140, so who knows, good luck though
