So I'm cruising behind two cars at 65mph on a two-lane highway with a 55mph limit on my way home from my brother's house one afternoon after helping him Seafoam both his and my car, as well as installing my MSD cap and coil.
Anyways, we three cars are just cruising and I see a pretty clean black '00 model Eclipse with some chrome rims pull out from a side street; I can hear his loud ass exhaust racing off as he tries to catch up to us, of which he then proceeds to start tailgating me for no reason. Keep in mind we're already doing 10mph over the limit already, so he was obviously trying to either be a dick or instigate a race.
The road we're on comes to an intersection with a stoplight and two turning lanes branch out to the left. The road is a two lane highway with a 65mph limit and there is a limited strip after you turn at the intersection where there are no cops. I usually record a pull of my car after I do any performance upgrades to keep a sort of video documentary of my car since I've been installing all the parts I had piled up in my room, and this short strip is usually where I do it.
The two cars ahead of me take the lane that goes straight and crosses over the intersection while I proceed into the far left turning lane and he pulls up next to me in the inner left turning lane. I pull my phone out and get it ready to record my gauge cluster for the test pull. He starts revving his motor out like crazy, thinking that this little Honda with some primer on the quarter panels is just some piece of shit and is no match for his V6-Eclipse; I figure I might as well give him a run since I was gonna do a quick pull anyway. He keeps revving like a retard so I drop both of my windows. I think he knew he realized he may have bit off a bit more than he could handle when he saw the RSX seats because the expression on his face changed; he also looks a little worried when he sees me in position to record my cluster. I look over at him and give him a little grin and a mischievous nod at the other light turning yellow to red. As our light turns green we both proceed to turn and as it straightens out and we're both around 20mph we both hit it at the same time.
He hit it a bit earlier before I did but once I hit VTEC in 1st it was as if I was running away from him from there on out. I didn't get any shots of him because it's kind of hard to hold the camera and handle torque-steer with my left hand while shifting with my right; and I was more focused on documenting my pull rather than wasting it on recording some bitch ass Eclipse.
Anywho, let me know what you guys think of the vid.
PS - I have a horrible exhaust leak from a broken weld where my collector meets my resonator.
