i raced my friend who has a pontiac gtp to about 50-60 and i was surprisingly behind him by only a car length. any idea on how i will do against one of the newer eclipses? and possibly a guess on 1/4 mile times?

 

the new eclipses are slow as hell, their 0-60 times are around 7 seconds, but im not aure about the 1/4 times.

 

the new eclipses as in 2000+ yah you should be bale to they are slow i have a 91 gsx, now thats a car to beat i lost to a 99 ss by 1 1/2 to 2 cars, but i love thirdgens so im getting one soon

 

I have beat a GSX . 95 5spd to be exact. The kid couldn't drive so wasnt that good of a win, but I still won. If it would have been a better driver I would have to pull more on him out of the hole.

 

yeah those early 90's all wheel drive turbo's are something else!very good off the line... i had a close race with one from a roll, i would of lost if it was from a light.

 

I used to drive an 91 eclipse N/A

that thing was slower then a constipated turd


raced a 2g once on t he freeway

all I did was downshift into 4th (which was just into my powerband... should have been in thirdg for the speeds we were pulling) and I walked him every time (though I think this one was an auto).


the cars are nothing special N/A get a turbo version to race though and you will prolly lose in a stock TBI setup

 

2g 95+ eclipses have a very small pos turbo, 1g 90-94 have a bigger turbo that really makes a difference, I beat a couple new z28's but lost to a 97 cobra from a roll, but i wont be driving my eclipse anymore, used cheap gas and detonated last night and blew the headgasket looks like its f-Body time...

 

That sucks about your eclipse TBird, but at least you can now get a real car. HAHA j/k. My mom, my boss, and one of my best friends drive eclipses. I tease them all the time but they tease me just as much.

 

no worries about beating an Eclipse, I beat my friend's '99 or 2000 5-spd RS easily with my stock '86 LG4 auto.

 

heres a funny story, not a newer eclipse, but like a 95 or so...
its an rs... nothing special no mods...
my dad is driving the family hauler... dodge intrepid 93 i think... i dunno... it has like a 3.3 or something of the sorts... some1 please correct me on that...
don't know the power on it either...
all i know... is that
My dad, my mom in the passenger, my sis, me and one of my best friends at the time were all in the car, with a brand new computer in the trunk

at a roll of 30 they both floor it... do u believe... that the family tanker took him?
well it was all gain...

the guy must have really sucked at racing to lose at a car hauling more people than a refugee deporting truck(no pun intended)

anyways... try it... u win... congrats... u lose... start modding...

 

If its a new RS GS youll win if its a GT well there times will be from high 14's to 16's ...i got a 15.07 back when i use to race mine ...now i also have a 1990 GSX and well AWD kicks ***!! and yes im sure my turbo is faster then the my GT but it also has more **** done

 

At the track, I watched those new Eclipses run 16's all day. Not sure if they had any mods or not.

 

yea thats what the automatics run .. my run was bone stock and ive posted a t/s on here before :lala:
