lmao, you raced a 4-banger. A 5.0 with those mods aint gonna do it.
I got a 4-banger, what's your point?
Not trying to pick on you, I'm just saying you need to have a different mentality to succeed in this racing biz. Of course I have a 302 in a notchback also, so don't you dare call me a ricer.

If you think an 06' 4banger eclipse (car in question) is a mean car, re-think it. For a stock 5.0 to beat it, it HAD to be a 4 banger, the V6 version would pull a stock 5.0, heavy or not.

My friends roll around in 11 second 4 bangers all day as a DD. I do not think 4bangers are rice. SOme of the fastest street cars in my town only have 4 cylinders. For example, my friends DD was a 99 civic SI. It ran 11.6@126mph.
a stock gt eclipse runs mid 15s on paper, which means high 15s in the real world. i think 5.0s run faster than that, i ran faster than that stock.

Hell, even magazine tech's got a low 14 out of it. Where do you get your figures?
I think ppl are stereotyping cars. In the past eclipses have always been known as "chick cars". But these days eclipese are not bad because although 260hp is not Fast by today's standards it's definately not slow either. And yes a 260hp eclipse will beat a mild modded Foxbody.
