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! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

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 ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1343795-scratchchin.gif) . IF, & thats a BIG if i ever had a Jap car, it would be that one ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) . 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 ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beer.gif)

It all comes down to the tuner. If he tunes it and is a gearhead Itll be fast. If hes a mouth with a ricer and nothing but smack itll be slow. It seems like there is very little in the middle.
