Joe... it was the guy who used to drive the white neon with black stripes on it. Brad King's Eclipse is fast as hell..the only problem is he doesn't know how to drive, plain and simple. He's got everything you would need to make that car run a low 12. The intercooler on the front looks like **** because it doesn't cover his whole grill and it's at a slant. But I have spent a couple hours with him at Hyper Racing talking... he's got a badass car. Never raced him but I plan to whenever he wants it.
Besides he just walks around with his dad's credit card and buys anything he wants.
I wish my dad was rich and wanted me to spend his money.

To be honest.....I like Eclipse's I hate his car though. Too ricey for me. However I heard the same thing. It's his dads car and he just buys everything with his dads money. I noticed the intercooler but couldnt figure out why it looked like that. Its sad when a car with that potential looks that bad!

Yea one day I was up at Hyper and he was there and he was just picking stuff out off the walls and the total was like 350 bucks and he just whipped out his dads credit card and said "That's why I love this thing" and paid for it, no sweat.
Well he's got so much money that he doesn't know what to do with it....he doesn't understand his car. Instead of buying the good stuff he's more around big wings and blue headlights.

you have an auto right?
Well let me educate you when you think you kept it in 4th gear your trans actually shifted itself way down, probably to 2nd gear, and definitely AT LEAST to 3rd. Most automatics nowadays when you're cruising along if you go on romp on it will drop down to 2nd gear, then quickly to third, and so on. It's pretty much impossible to floor an automatic and stay in the gear that you were in before stomping on it. (unless you choose 1-manual, or 2-manual, but there isn't a 4-manual so thats why im saying this).
but anywho nice kill, i despise mustangs.

well if the person bought a ford in the first place the chances of them being smart enough to know what they are doing are basically slim to none....
your comment is kind of amusing in that way
