At willow springs when we were running in street class, we were faster than all the RWD cars and all but one of the AWD cars. It initially started as a classing issue. I wanted to develop the car for the FWD classes first and then get a winning reputation and go AWD. But its turned so interesting I dont know I'd want to change. It's strangely satisfying to freak people out about how fast the FWD car is. I am confident that even in mod class we could consistently beat the fastest RWD times with it how it sits now. The AWD times are almost untouchable though. We'd need a lot more development.

Thank you to all for great compliments. I'm always surprised how well received other cars can be on supraforums.

no way you'd beat the fastest rwd times in Mod.

you'd need another driver to make that happen.

gixxer_drew · 11-21-2009, 01:07 PM

is that why you wanted to quit trying to set faster times after we won the event??

SaleenKiller · 11-21-2009, 01:46 PM

Awesome job guys! Nice to see the older Eclipses arent all F&F types.

BorHor · 11-21-2009, 07:07 PM

Took some pics today. I will go through them and post them up in a bit.

gixxer_drew · 11-21-2009, 07:26 PM

PS Matt, you need to update your sig to back to back champions

among other things...

BorHor · 11-21-2009, 11:46 PM

I had access today to gixxer_drew's Eclipse so I took some pics of it. Not my best work but acceptable.

Nice shots, but looks nothing like a Supra.
