    Saw one of these blow away a viper at the drag strip once. Ran a 11.29. This one of the AWD versions?

    That is the same color sceme as my old talon. I sold it over in gwinnett county about five years ago. It would be funny if you bought my old car. Mine ran the quarter in 11.7 @123mph.

    I doubt it. The guy who owned it before me was named Ben. He's had it for several years and let it go down the crapper. But Shawn here got her back up to pace.

    Yeah I don't think that one is mine. I swapped all the emblems for eclipse stuff.

    Sweet ride Tray! Looks like your just skimming the surface at 313! That engine has tons of potential.

    I got tired of having to explain that a talon was the same thing as an eclipse and that it was turbocharged from the factory. I also wanted to make sure I could run as an import at the import vs. domestic grudge night. I won fastest import but the fastest domestic was a viper with cheater slicks and NOS. It was scary fast. Beat me by over a second and a half on an 1/8 mile track.

    What? Doug must've been on a pump gas map when that Evo pulled him. If he was on q16 then that would have been a different story.

    Blah, Evo's can run race gas too.
