It wasn't a GS-T o GSX was it?

I beat a 98 Eclipse with I/H/E in my 98 V6. not too shabby considering that car is like 200lbs lighter, and with those, probably has 150hp like mine.

The non-turbo models have 140hp and weigh 200-300 lbs less than the Mustang. If he had work done to the car and your car is stock then I don't see how you beat him unless he couldn't drive or his car was running like absolute ***.

How close was the race? If he had a good Intake and Exhaust then I could see him beating you if he knew how to drive. Did he have head work done or did you mean headers? If he had a headers back exhaust and a CAI then I could see it being about even with him having an edge. If he had an exhaust, intake and head work then I could see him taking you easily.

I don't doubt that their are people out their that know how to drive. What I doubt is when people claim races against cars that should beat them fairly easily.
The Eclipse's have a 2.0L DOHC I4 in them. Doing exhaust and intake work to them would yield decent gains seing as how it is DOHC. The car is far lighter than you and if it had even a half way capable driver behind it then it should have an edge against you. I don't sit here and try to pick apart every kill. I sit here and wonder why people post up certain kills that never could have happened.
That last sentence was not in reference to you. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that the Eclipse had a Header not Headers, if he had the I4 still. lol
I can understand what you mean about driver's skill. I am getting very very tired of having to race every New Edge 6 in my area because they think they have the faster car.
I have raced 8 New Edge's in the past week and a half because they think that they have a super-duper-awesome fast car... I have only lost against one of them and he had a complete dual exhaust and CAI. I don't know why people try to race a V6 when it is stock or nearly stock, they are not fast or quickand it is sort of an embarassment to the Mustang name.

And yeah, my bad about the header thing. I'm so used to saying headers because my two car forums (here and ZForums) both have V6 engines, so headers is just what I call them.

I have a single-port V6, the only thing that I have done performance wise is CAI and short-shifter. The rest is in suspension. Their should be no way that I am beating lightly modified or stock split-ports. The people that are driving them don't know how to launch a car or how to drive it once they have it going. Most people seem to think that if you keep the car floored at all times then you are going as fast as possible...
I don't think that I am the best or worst driver, maybe slightly better than most in a stick but that should not give me the edge I would need to over come 40hp. I rather suck at trying to get an auto to launch properly. lol
