Default ss vs gsx

my friend has a 93 gsx i think thats the right year and it got all the stupid lawnmower mods, turbo, apexi system, act clutch blah blah blah, he says hes running 19# boost...i dont believe that cause in 4th gear i roasted him...i had stock ss at this time...my question is what hp do you think hes running? im estimating probably around 240 cause when i was in 4th i had no problem losing him and ive been in his car when he drives it and his turbo is so messed up i dont think it can even spit out 19# boost...his boost gage also pegged out at 30# and then boom sounded like blow off valve opened...he also thinks that with his awd he can take me in 1st 2nd and 3rd...lemme know what you think about this situation, i think hes full of it cause that thing sounds out of tune and is slow as hell...

you never know with those first gen eclipses. But i would say the ss shoould not have a problem... i would say low to mid 15's based on what is around here.

If it's running well and he's telling the truth you should pass him by 3rd. But it all depends on the turbo and tune

You will beat him pretty easily if you don't mess up the launch. He'll take you off the line but I think you'll have him before you hit third. If has internals done then that's a different story, but most of those car people aren't smart enough to do that first.

I thought you meant one of these.





If you rosted him in 4th, I don't think it matters.

Yeah, you should take him pretty easily. Especially since you have ridden in the car with him. It's hard to estimate any numbers unless you have specific mods listed.
