Like any forced induction car, that have the potential to make some serious power. But it's the whole combo that makes the difference.
It could be a 14 second eclipse, or a 12 second elipse.

Man... hand him a Traditional Firehawk whoopin!, without the cam u should beat him w/out much prob, w/ it u shud handle him with ease, beleive I live in rice rocket central, Silcon Valley bay area.. I run into rice rockets Daily and not have met 1 that has come close 2 beatin me, I have no prob with Sti's or evo's and all I got is tires, headers, y-pipe and 3.73 gears in my 99 Z28. Unless the rice rocket sounds insane, meaning doesn't sound like a race rocket but a real mean machine, never fear the rice rocket... race him then let us know the result of u whoopin him

On a side note 1Gs owners dont care for anything rice, fuction over forum. Most you will find is a nice paint job and rims, thats as far as it goes.
Man people still think 1Gs are slow? People are dead scared of LS1s and DSMs in chitown area.
