99 Eclipse GSX [VS] 2002+ Lightning

[TDX]

just out of curiousity...
While working tonight one of my co-workers came up behind me and started talking about cars. I really don't know why all these people think I know anything about cars at all, I'm very much into the amateur area. Anyways he starts saying that his 2002+ model lightning has beaten 5 different corvettes even 6 at most and that the supercharged thing would eat our cars alive. I feel like im in an episode of mythbusters, I just kept my mouth shut and smiled. I told him to either buy back his previously sold lightning and meet him on the street cuz there is really only one way to find out. But since his lightning is now parked in a dealership somewhere I turn to you. These lightnings sure are fast I'm sure with a bigger displacement but please tell me it wouldn't eat all our cars for breakfast esp even the 99 gsx (all stages from stock to fully modded) ?

Viva la

they would eat us alive stock but if we have an upgraded turbo with supporting mods and awd things get interesting.

funny thing about the lightning is that it has no weight in back to keep the tires from spinning. so a stock dsm can't smoke it, but bolt on a few parts and yes, it would be a fun race. i raced my aunts hemi dodge, and she only smoked my car by a few lengths, not bad for a 4 banger =D

They can run mid 13s easy in the quarter and can definately beat corvettes. 5.4 litres and a roots supercharger can make a lotta torque to pull that heavy truck around.

Thanks guys,

I'm sure his ego will grow even more when I tell him about this - but oh well its still fun to drive. =)
