Default 97 Eclipse vs. 05 Stang

So yeah I was wondering how my car would line up against a 97 eclipse not sure about the mods on it yet.
My friends girlfriend is getting one and wants to race me in it. I believe I will tape it and then post it when we
It. Since I don't know the specs on the car, just let me know the stock numbers and stuff like that. Just trying
to get an idea....

if its a awd turbo eclipse stock iauto you could run with it but ive seen one with just upgraded turbo at 20psi run in the 13s on stock iread people are able to get it to 12 psi and run mid 14s so if it has no upgrades it should be close but if its at all upgraded ( which it probably is if shes gettin ga used one ive never seen an un modded eclipse used from when they used to put turbos) youll prolly lose.

If its a GS-T <turbo version> or GS-X <awd in addition to the turbo> you could be in trouble, both 210/ 214 stock, about 3100 lbs, were mid 14's stock, and take to mods very very well. 13's are easy and cheap on that car. The RS and GS, no problem, totally gutless. 140/ 130, about 2800lbs and a 0-60 in the 9's.

Also, those DSM's were maintence nightmares, the turbo models need alot of tlc.

Don't worry if we do tape the race, I won't post the vid because
I personally don't want to listen to all the uptight people complain
about what I do.....No offense to anyone just get agravated when people
tell me what to do.

The turbo Eclipse is O.K. but the base cars really suck. All Eclipse's are mainly all show and no go for what they are, and the price tag.

Neew Eclipse v6 GT is pretty nice though and alot quicker then us. Unfortunatly it's also FWD and looks like that Pokemon turtle guy.
