I was just cruisin down 395 South when a 3G flew past me doing a good 90. I caught up a little and got behind him at some traffic. Traffic cleared and he went to the slow lane while I remained in the fast lane. I lined up to him and he kept going, slowing down, going, slowing down, all the while I was matching his speed. 2-3 of these and I got bored and just dumped it. Had about 2-3 cars on him by the time I hit 105mph. Even though he was stepping on it I'm not considering this a full victory over a 3G since he was a late 20's guy that looked more in a rush rather than actually racing me. 3G was/looked stock.

If it was an ATX 3g, those are pretty slow. My friend has intake and he cant get it below 16.00 in the 1/4.

3G RX7? ;) You say 3G, that could be any car that's been around long enough to have a 3rd gen model.
Are you talking about an Eclipse?

Sorry, I realize a 3G means 3rd generation but I've only seen it used as a name towards the Eclipse, so yes, I am talking about the 3G Eclipse.
