you guys are right. i dont get it, why do all of these kids think they are so fast with their little eclipses? i too, am a senior in high school like DaMach04 only with a stock 01 GT vert and have whupped up on little turbo eclipses'. its fun to see the look on their faces afterwards.
You wish you can beat a turbo eclipses in your mustang gt. Either the driver of the eclipses was s freshman or it was a non turbo eclipses.[sm=lol.gif]
Simma down now newbie.....The turbo eclipse is not that fast Seriously though, I'm sure the kids driving them have no skills.

the awd dsm's suck from a roll. with a new turbo a stock turbo wrx still beats them from a roll. both are dogs without the launch. and modded fwd turbo dsm's are slower than stock a lot of times. traction issues.

You are pretty dumb if you think that a stock turbo eclipse is gonna out run a Mustang GT in a 1/8 or even a 1/4 mile run. The mustang has so much low end power that by the time that eclipse's turbo kicks in that mustang is gone. Now top end may be a different story b/c of the turbo being at full spool, but even that would be iffy. [sm=forgetit.gif] [sm=closed.gif]

I agree with you 100% DaMach04. Some of the kids with the turbo eclipses' that I raced before want to go again, only this time they want to bet money, maybe they got that idea from watching fast and the furious too many times, I dunno. I'll share my story if anything happens.

you gotta remember the drivetrain. the awd eclipse will run around 14.6 stock. the mustang will run it down on the top end...not off the line.

the turbo eclipse is the gsx. the gst is fwd turbo, the gsx is awd turbo. the rs and gs and anything passed 99 is a joke.

GS-T is the turbo, because his old car was a GS-T and had a "stock" turbo on it, and the GSX maybe a turbo but it is also the AWD, the GS-T is not a AWD but IS turboed, Spencer has had both, and he is who i mainly cruise around with and eclipses are his life.
