04 rx8 vs 03 mitsubishi eclipse
 

not sure what type of eclipse it is, but is there any possible way that a stock eclipse of any type could beat an 04 rx8 with borla catback exhaust in a drag race?

Why are you double posting?

because i saw that nobody was viewing the racing forum when i posted it

I posted in your thread in the racing forum....

oh ok my bad.

who cares?

Go for the calamari.

Haha! Pontiac Eclipse > RX-8

I own an 04 RX8 and a 03 Eclipse GT. The Eclipse in no way will take the 8. Mine has some motor work done and I still dont think it will touch the 8.

Does your friend have any stickers on his Eclipse? This could play a big role in a race with him. Especially if any of them say VTEC or R Type. If it says ECLIPSE in real big letters across his front or back window, you are in big trouble.

Wait, I just saw you have a catback exhaust. I take back what I said earlier, you'll crush him!

Well, if his friend has a spoiler on his front wheel drive Eclipse, it would once again give the Mitsu the advantage.

ahaha, you guys kill me! :yelrotflm

Eclipse = lead weight, even the new one with the six won't do it.

Won't do what?

Make a cheese sandwich nearly as good as the 8 will.

We all know that, I think he might be talking about something else... :suspect:

no no no, just cheese sandwiches, and the tastyness levels that cars make them at.

Well, if you "magazine race" these cars, the 8 wins hands down. 2003-2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT: 210 hp @ 5750 rpm(Spyder), 0-60 mph : 7.2 sec. Even the 2007 with its 260 lb-ft of torque and 263 hp, only goes 0-60 in about 7 seconds. In real life, it's a driver's race.

The new one is actually about 6 seconds...

k so if i get a good launch, how much should my tires spin, if any at all??? and what is the RPM to rev up to before i drop the clutch? and do i turn off traction control and DSC?

Which site do we magazine race the 2007 from?

0 - 60: 5.8 sec

0 - 60: 6.5 sec

0 - 60: 6.9 sec

You've got a catback, no need to turn traction control off or even rev much before you blow his doors off.

uh, if you don't want to be banned or something, stop talking about this right now.

Why are you using vert times and why are you calling it a 2007?
