Can my stock '86 SC beat a '95 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX??
My friend just got a '95 Eclipse GSX, if you dont know it is a 4 cylinder turbocharged engine. He is convinced that he will rip me in a race cause he has 210 hp and I only have 150 hp. His car is 5 speed and he can't get out of first gear too quick when he is driving regular on streets so i dont think he will be able to beat me cause he will be hesitant at the line. Oh and if you guys can can tell me how many pounds of tourque I have that would be great.

This should go in Theoretical and Street Racing, but I'll go ahead and reply. Sorry my friend, but you're going to be very disappointed. Unless you have bigger gears in that SC you're going to get toasted. Trust me, I know from experience.
Look at this way, there is no better reason to mod out an engine so you can beat a friend

Take something off of the engine and say that you are working on it that you you do not have to race.

Don't race unless you are somewhere near 190-200hp. Are you totally stock including exhaust, headers, cam, etc? Is there a 305 or 350 (probably not) under your hood? What gears do you have? If the answers are not good then mod up, then race. Your only hope is that he doesn't no how to use that 210 hp and you can get a big lead, but keep an eye on the rear view mirror. Let us know because I got a feeling your gona race him anyway.
