325i vs 2001 eclipse

Yesterday taking the long way home from work, I happen across this 01 or 02 eclipse GT. Im in the right lane and he is in the left lane and we get to a red light. I notice he has one of those single tip 4" mufflers- disgusting, i know. The light turns green and I "spiritedly launch". Not a full blown race launch but just enough to entice. I hear him floor his car and as soon as i heard I floored mine. At that point we were basically even. As we are going now I am gradually increasing the lead and he shifts to 3rd. I kept in 2nd all the way to 6500RPM at which point I had a good lead on him. Once in 3rd I kept pulling on him. Needless to say I gave him a great view of my rear diffuser. The race ends when we reach another light now with alot of traffic. WE end up next to each other and he remarks that he wasn't trying.. I just laughed and asked if he liked my newly installed rear diffuser because you got a better look at it than I did...

Edit: What are the numbers on the GT eclipse? I thought they were around 200HP..
