98 TA Vs. 01 V6 Turbo Eclipse
ok this guy at my work just finished his car. he said he would race me if i wanted to just to see and compare, hes pretty cool like you know not all "my ricer is so fast it has a turbo" anyway it is a V6 01' Eclipse has a turbonetics T-4 running on 7psi and a 3in downpipe thats about it. we both have street tires. now who do you think would win? we will run both from a dig and a roll. all i have is mods in sig and im a pretty good driver and so is he. any tips? thanks. --andrew

Didn't see that it was a V6. Those are heavy cars. He's probably making a decent amount of power, but not more than you. I'm guessing a drivers race. With your better torque, take him from a dig.

They are quick but prob. not as fast as you. Besides, if he didn't do engine internals he will be closing plug gaps and collapsing lifters. The one we did at my shop made about 260-280hp at the wheels(been awhile since it was done) @ 5psi. But the engine will start missfiring if he rev's it over 5500rpm.

well i raced him today....and i won both races we did a roll from 25mph and from a quick stop. first one was a roll coming right out of the base at the gas station. i had it in 2nd i mashed it and totaly left him like it wasent even funny i was vary supprised he blew the horn and he droped back like 2 cars then 3......4 and i shut it down at like 4 1/2 maybe like 5. i though he missed a gear. but nope, he was laughing hard and said "well that was fun". i asked if he still wanted to go from a dig and he said yeah. so we went down a backroad and stopped. i didnt burn the tires at all just cuz they suck. It was prolly just under an 1/8 mi we raced. i left it in 2nd and i called it this time. i spun till it shifted to 2nd then somemore, he was at my door till it shifted to 2nd and i left him again. i kept pulling away from him it was real fun. i totaly forgot about the vid. but im sure this wont be the last time we race.
