Here's my tow rig.

I just brought it home
1986 F-250 4x4 XLT Loredo.
6.9 diesel
Banks turbo
C-6 Auto
GV overdrive
had a clogged radiator
Dude couldn't figure it out
so he sold it to me for $1000
I flushed and cleared the radiator in his driveway and drove it home.
Now I need to get a trailer.

So what you're saying is that you've been damn lucky so far and not killed yourself and thankfully no one else and that's why you feel that it's ok to endanger everyone else on the highway.

Street racing doesn't make you an expert. Driving 168 down the strip doesn't make you an expert.

THis has nothing to do with you breaking the law. It has to so with the fact you're an asshat.

So Mr. big shot "I got NAWS". What your here to tell everyone is that your POS riced out 95 Eclipse is running mid 8's in the 1/4 mile? Cause that's about what time your getting with a 168 mph trap speed. That's probably the fastest Mistu in the country.

Would you like to fix your typo or do I need to run you into the ground some more?

WOW!Theres bragging rights...you beat a 4x4 with an eclipse and nos....geee,,,your cool..I would bet you could beat every 4x4 on this bord with your eclipse and nos...kind of a given seeing as nost of the rigs here are geared for going slow..
And let me guess the rig you won has 4;10 gears 44 boggers and a 22r..

Thank you Matt for pointing out the mid 8 second ET that would go along with a 168 mph trap speed.

Acer, I would love to run you for "pinks", not that my car is the fastest in the world by any means but most of the time when people say dumb ass shit like you do, my Chevelle (11.90s) is usually fast enough to beat them. Besides what does it matter how fast you are going when you get there if some one with a lower trap speed got there quicker than you did?

Something to be said for low 60 ft times. I had crappy 60ft times in my 75 Vette, but still could crank out 100mph in the trap. Should of went to 4.10's in the rear. Damn 2.73's slowing me down.

The other interesting thing is that it would take 1300 hp to get a Eclipse to run 168 mph in the 1/4 mile. I don't buy it.

you are prolly right but in stock form the eclipse weighs anywhere from 2900 to 3300 so that would mean 1100hp to 1248 hp...still no way...
