race with a talon

[mk1shitrocket@hotmail.com (chris cavitt)]

My bro has a 95 eclipse gsx, with the all wheel drive you cant get the thing 
to loose grip. This car is the fastest car i have ever ridden in, its just 
crazy fast, hks cams, unorthadox racing pulleys, stand alone computer, 550 
injectors, 20g turbo(pushing almost 30psi Holy shit), and so on. He has 
raced and wooped the shit out of porsche boxsters, newer rx7's, toyota 
supra's, and supercharged saleen mustangs..
its kinda ricey but i think cars like that doing almost 11 sec runs are 
alowed to do what ever the hell they want on the outside because they have 
shit inside to back it all up.
