i recently raced my freinds 2003 mitsubishi eclipse 5 speed, that has a $500 greddy cat back exhaust, $200 aem "intake" and all kinds of suspension stuff from eibach, kyb, and ground control, with my 1986 firebird (my winter car, so my trans am doesnt have to get trashed by north east weather and salt..) 5 speed that has a 2.8 with over 130k miles. i dumped the clutch around 2700 rpms and he pulled on me about a car length till mid second gear, once i hit around 4 thousand in second i pulled and conitunued to past the 1/4 mile mark.

gotta love those 20K$ jap craps that cant quite run with $800 v-6 f-bodies!

 

he should have got you!..haha j/k

 

You can tell your friend he cant drive, from me! His 20K jap crap as you call it should have walked all over you. Nice kill, but dont get to cocky off it!

 

This one chick brought her uncle bens special into the shop for a timing belt replacement and during the road test I took......Let's just say Jogging would be faster.... The 2.0L ****subishi motor is whack until you throw a turbo on it.....

 

can you beat him if you guys go canyon carving

 

I would watch what you say, not too long ago on a Mustang board a guy posted about a test drive where he beat on a car... needless to say he was sued, fired, and probably arrested.

 

A persons opinon accounts for just that. I could really care less though, they gotta find me before they can sue me .

 

The owner of the car sued him because it is illegal to beat on another persons car! Not saying the opinion isnt valid, just saying its not too bright to beat (the only way to truly know how fast car is, is to beat on it) on someone elses car... unless the person is with you or knows you are doing so.

But hey what do I know I will never take my car to a mechanic so I dont have to worry about a kid beating on it!

I think Eclipses are slow too.

 

Well turbo gsx's are fast. 95 gsx has something like a 14 sec 1/4 mile and without much can get alot faster. But as far as these eclipses go I think they went downhill since 95.
