4 cylinder rivals

[BaileyBoy]

There are a few cars i was wondering if an eclipse could beat. The clips i am refering to is a 98 gst or gsx. I am wondering if it were a straight line and just engine power no spray, just what came stock. If anyone has raced these cars below please tell me how u did. (If they had any after market parts, or the year of the car please list them if you know) THANKS A TON

THE LIST:

Toyota Celica GTS
Honda Prelude
Toyota MR-2 (Turbo or N/A)
Acura Integra GSR
Honda Civic (anything special)
Ford Mustang GT or SVT
Mazda Miata mx-5
Mazda Rx-7 (any year)
Chevy Camaro's
Acura RSX

Once again thanks a ton for the help!

Sorry to any body I upset. I didnt mean to "bench race", heck i dont even own an eclipse yet. I was just wondering what certain cars ran compared to an eclipse (which is what i know most about when it comes to times). Once again sorry.

the mods would have closed this by now if they wanted to...i just posted the rules is all....and reported the thread but its still open so its all good

fastest mr2 in the world last i checked was 9.9. there are plenty of dsm's that kill that. look at dsmtimes and then look at the 1/4 mile registry off mr2faq.com and compare. soooo many more faster DSMs.

which doesn't mean anything when we're comparing stock to stock, as we are in this thread.

why did u pm that, and then post it in this thread? you sound pretty insecure.

i was just comparing it platform vs platform, like you said earlier...

platform vs platform though, keep in mind that an MR2 is about 500lbs lighter than an AWD dsm and can launch just as hard (there's a reason drag racing sanctioning bodies in japan group the MR2's with the AWD cars) so in that alone it has a distinct advantage. couple that with the fact that the MR2 uses a transverse gearbox (FWD style- the most efficient type) so it's losing a lot less power through the drivetrain than the dsm as well.

also, an mr2 will not launch just as hard as a awd dsm. once again, i refer to both thier respective 1/4 mile registries. there's only 1 mr2 under the 1.5 60' mark, while i count 6 for dsms. also, there are countless 1.6 and under dsms, but not that many on the mr2 registry. even when you go to the stock times area (since j00 love that), there are countless dsm's under the 2.0 60 foot, while there mostly 2.0-2.1 for mr2's.
