I speak from experience in the tiburon matter. I used to own one. In fact, I just got rid of it last month... Stock, my best time was a 15.286 @ 91mph. With I/H/E my best time was a 14.704 @ 90mph. I have raced a few stock GSX eclipses in the street and they kill me on the launch but I start reeling them in rather handily...

With just an intake and headers he should be hitting 14.8's to 14.9..

Is your laser RS AWD? if you are both equal drivers, I think it will be a tossup. if he can't drive, you should beat him.

I got rid of the tiburon to go back to a DSM.. My next project is going to be a built eclipse RS. I used to own one and now I want it back.


I have heard of several Tibbys GT's running mid 14s with those exact mods.
 
the original motor trend "first drive" article listed them with an estimated time of 0-60 at 8.0 , just the other day i picked up the current motor trend which lists the actual 0-60 time at 7.0 so there's the second difference right there.
