Default Eclipse VS V6 Stang

well today I raced a 2003 or so V6 manual ecplise with a fart can, tint, some other worthless stuff... But the point here is I wooped it a**. and all I have it ram air, a dirty air filter and plugs and 8mm wires. wow was I surprised. He wouldnt even look at me he just turned off the road at the next stop sign.

my daily driver is basically a rebadged eclipse, and with an auto, it will at least hang with most of the V6s times mentioned on this site...with the exception of the 05 V6s, and the built V6s like matthockeys...

what car is a rebadged eclipse?? I was unaware of such a thing. I drove a v6 eclipse once, it wouldn't call it fast, but I thought it felt faster than a v6 stang.

sorry it took so long I was busy last night I had to take the tranny out of my dads 67 stang. But anyways... I have a 2000 V6 Manual with ram air, plugs and wires and I took the spare out of my trunk for the extra 20lbs to leave my car
