Default 1 win 1 loss

well after finals I decided to relieve a little stress, so I went racing first was the 98 camaro auto (ive raced him before) he managed to pull away at the start
but after 1-2 car lengths he got nothing else on me all the way up to bout 110. Thats pretty good even though its only a v6 but its not stock (complete magnaflow exhaust).
Next up was a 94 eclipse turbo auto. I got a big lead off the start and managed to keep it, i wound up winning by a pretty good distance that made me feel better. I expected the eclipse to be faster because it a turbo on the same engine as the neon but I won and thats all that matters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vacuum, as in opposite of boost. Im saying something was wrong with his car most likely. I've been in an auto ecplise before, there not a slow as a neon by any means.

there was nothing wrong with his car I just got a good reaction/hook up and he didn't know how to spool his turbo before taking off.

They DO NOT have the same engine. The Eclipse engine is a 420a and that IS NOT what the DOHC engine is.
