but yeah gst's and gsx's are 4g63 turbo's. They are mid/low 14 second 1/4 in stock form, with a good driver. With a improved turbo, boost controller, upgraded intercooler they can hang with or beat a gt. A GSX would eat any mustang even the terminator off the line because of its all wheel drive.

just because the eclipse has a turbo doesnt mean that he will beat you. Stock for stock the GT would kill a GST or GSX. With a few bolt ons he should be able to hang with you. People underestimate mustang GTs alot. I killed a brand new EVO from a dig when mine was bone stock and they have AWD. From a dig you willdestroy afwd GST. Basically if it has a front mount intercooler upgrade youll get pulled on from a roll.

A properly driven EVO would put a bus or two on you from a roll. People over estimate mustang GT's imo.

Close......... It means "Gran Turismo", translated from Italian a few different ways but basically "Road Racing" or along those lines (even as Grand Touring like you said, but that would be the "Americanized" version). Take the GTO for instance; "Gran Turismo Omolagato", "Road Racing under Omolagation laws", like NASCAR, where as you have to build and produce X number of actual public offered cars before you can use that model in the racing circuit...... but anyway, that has nothing to do with his topic sry.

Eh with $800? Wtf are you going to buy that gets you in the 12s? Exhaust, 550cc, AFC, and an MBC will not get you in the 12s.....
