A curious medical condition of the right pedal extremity that afflicts millions of drivers worldwide. While the disease is much more prevalent among males, females have also been known to contract it.

Symptoms include tailgating, jackrabbit starts, burnouts, clutch dumps with advanced cases often leading to modding, nos usage, turbocharging and an addiction to motor sports or even street racing.

There is no known cure for this disease, but common treatments include speeding tickets, license suspension, and (in extreme cases) the purchase of a Toyota Prius.

Usually, Eclipses from the Year 2000 are fed spec, while the others are all Cali spec, the biggest difference between the two is that the Cali spec has 2 pre-cats coming from exhaust manifold before going to the main cat. This was done to achieve better emissions, even though it restricts exhaust flow.
