Default Me vs. Eclipse gst

My mods are only a k&n filter and flowmaster 10 series mufflers. He has exhaust, intake, and lowered with short shifter I believe. We have a 1/8 mile track here, and he said he runs low 9's consistently. But I've never ran. By the way I have an auto. I think he would take me, but what would I have to do to run high 8's?

Well I guess this was a waste of time to post this. Do you guys need anymore info from me so you know what the outcome will be. His is a 98 I believe.

Well, he should beat you if he can muster low 9s...Personally I don't believe he runs low 9s though.

Why wouldnt you think that? I'm not calling you a liar or him a liar, but it has 200hp and like 210lbs/ft tq. stock. I dont know if hes upgraded his turbo or not, havent talked to him in awhile. Other than that he just has the mods I already posted.

I just don't see him beating you. Don't know why, but I don't think he's upgraded his turbo.

Stock GSTs run high 14s to low 15s which is mid 9s to low 10s in the 1/8. He runs at best with his mods mid 14s or mid 9s in the 1/8. You should be just as quick at least if not a little quicker. You should run low 9s in the 1/8.

Just race the little shat...if you lose then that's all more reason to mod your car! Then later on race him again.
