OHC cars (especially ones with extreme high-rpm powerbands) tend to do alot better once at speed than from a stop. While the two cars might have similar 1/4 mile times, the Eclipse will have better trap speed, and trap speed is a good indicator of how a car will do from a roll. That's how my car is a good race for 94-98 GTs. I might not have much power, but I have great gearing, low weight, and good breathing topend.<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>
