i have a 92 talon esi, and a 97 eclipse RS, the talon has headers, hybrid gsx cams, and a cold air intake, and my eclipse rs with only a cold air intake would eat it hands down, the talon weighs just under 3000 and the eclipse weigh just over 2700, 135hp stock for talon, 145 stock for 97 eclipse, although i have never lined them up side by side i think my eclipse would not only beat it in speed, but in a car show as well, sometimes its not all about how fast your cars is, its about how u stand next to it.....

Um. A non-turbo 92 Talon weighs in at 2690 and a non-turbo 2nd Gen Eclipse RS weighs in right at 2844. Also the 2nd Gen has 140hp, not 145. The 1G comes out with a better HP/Weight ratio.

I still haven't seen any 1gNT's do that well. :confused:

Yea, it's rare to find someone with a 1GNT that's actually building it up. I'm working on that. ;)

guys, guys, GUYS!!!!! STOP FIGHTING, all your cars , 1G and 2G NT's, are all equally slow, so stop arguing, ok:thumb:


rofl... nicely put
 
Well, yours would be the third one... hehe... If you can make it up here for a weekend, my garage is usually free (most of the other people who use it don't have huge projects, so one of the 4 bays is usually available). Let me know if you are in the area and want it done. Like I said, though, it is a weekend project or so.

my brother had 1g eclipses for years and i remember when my neihbor got his 98 gs it had like 30,000 miles on it and my bros 92 had like 80,000 and was bone stock and he woop his @ss every time , and i still do with my 93 n/t with my timeing down and nitrous off, 1g kicks @ss, 2g owners watch to much fast and furious go play with your nnnnnnnnooooooooooooossssssssssssssssss and nowon heres 2g n/t will touch 1g ill put money on that no matter how big your rims our or how girlish it looks or how loud your radio is ill still spank you at every light
 
Even if you are right (and while there is this much snow on the ground, who can race to tell the difference), all 2Gs clean up in the suspension department. Sorry, but a panhard linkage in the rear with a solid axle beam is not the latest and greatest in suspension setups. I prefer the 4 wheel multilink (which is fully independant, by the way) to a strut based front and a solid axle. These are nimble imports, and not Mustangs. So retire the '20s suspension already.

Besides, I have never lost to a 1GNT. Ever.

See you all at the shootout!

I think the 1st gen and 2nd gen both look good, were all dsmers here so we should get along, u shouldnt say you can beat another car until you have actually raced them and won, till then know your role and shut yo mouth...LOL j/k :dsm: :laser: :talon:
 
Same thing over and over, and i suppose you have the biggest penis too. just my .02
