What Cars Can I Whoop On??

[motomatt]

Just wondering what cars I can beat, I have a CAI and Exhaust, my girlfriend embarrased someone in a new cougar with her eclipse, and It was an automatic even!! Ha Ha Thanks for any input!

with a n/t eclipse, probably not much....eclipses are heavy, and the n/t motors arent so hot. Except the 1g n/t 4g63, which is basically the same as the turbo 4g63 minus oil squirters, the good rods, the good pistons, and the turbo cams...

Thank you.

[psychlow]

Umm... maybe 96-98 V6.

A 99+ V6 Mustang will kill you.

in the 1g's,NT connecting rods, and turbo connecting rods are exactly the same.

not to be a ahole but i think you should not race it... it is hard on your car and racing isn't fun when your losing

 

[metasonic]

racing is always fun! what are you talking about? haha. :laugh:

Ah, the good ol' days of non turbo DSMs..

i used to have a 98 mitsu eclipse GS. bone stock. The only victory i ever had was against my buddies 6 cylinder '69 chevy nova.

I tried racing a Civic hatch, swapped with a b18c1, turbocharged with my Eclipse GS too....but that wasnt pretty. oooh. that one got ugly quick. Like i was standing still....nay, going in reverse. Im not even sure i'd be able to take him still, even with the car i have now.

But anywho, n/t's can look forward to having competition with automatic 96-98 v6 Mustangs, Maza Mx-6, Ford Probe's, Chevy Cavalier Z24's, Celica GT (140 hp model, right?) Old first Gen 300zx n/t (167 hp) And thats about it. Occasionally, a slightly modded n/t DSM can pounce on an unsuspecting bone stock Civic SI. But like i said, they have to be bone stock, and VERY unsuspecting :laugh: :laugh:

If i were you, i'd focus on suspension setup rather than speed. Or throw in a turbo. (easier said than done )

I recently raced a Honda Civic Si with a header, intake, and cat-back exhuast, all i have is a universal muffler on my n/t Ecllipse

 

[ericismyname]

i had a nt 95 talon, they was so slow sometime i had trouble speeding up with highway traffic , im just messing, pick out ur races careful u dont want to embaress urself, or if the guy is looking at u at the stop light and revving, pretend ur music is too loud to hear him

I have a 98 mustang 5spd and have killed every N/T eclipse that has ever raced me. 5spd or not, they are slow cars, but hey at least they look nice.
