Raced a 1993 Eclipse (with mods)..........

Hey everyone, here's the story if you want to read it....
Last night around 1245AM.. my friend who owns the 93 Eclipse with air intake and only a few other goodies, agreed to race my 89 900S.
Came to a dead stop on a two-lane highway, had the passenger in my car say "Ready, Set, Go"
1st gear.. he inched about 1ft in front of me, as I hit redline we were even
almost missed the shift into 2nd.. neck and neck through the whole gear.. redlined it
as soon as I threw it into 3rd gear.. I took it.. gained about a car length.. never turned back..
by the end of 4th, he was toasted
Just thought you guys might be interested.
I've been talking to Eric at Viking SAAB about turbocharging my 900S, so that project is under way. I'm working on getting all the parts I need. For now, I'm very happy with my N/A with all the mods I've put into it. (This is about the time when Raul would chime in and moan about my car being a non-turbo, and make a big scene, but forget him). I was happy to see my Swedish Eurocar could run with the best of Japenese ricers.
Any comments welcome, unless you're like Raul and are only going to complain. Let us know if you've taken any cars off the line, I know I'm interested!
Saab Performance all the way!
