ok so while i was debating with my boss that my car stock runs 15.1's according to allbedigital. and that it is quick. He thinks our cars are slow and all the numbers we say we have are b/s but i proved him! but as you can see here from 90 to 92 its pretty steady.
0-60 .1/4m
1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 6.8 15.1
1992 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 6.7 15.2
1994 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 6.6 14.6
we all know 90 have a bigger TB that would explain the faster time but 94! WTF! what is soo special about a 94 tsi that puts it at 14.6
then 95 back to a 15.1
I dont' get it. what did they change between 92 and 94 to put a 94 in the mid 14's?
 
dont quote me on this but im pretty sure they changed gearing a little other than its a 7 bolt :talon:
 
ok lighter rods too. so less rotating mass but half a second is fast. ive been in a 93 and the gearing seems the same as my 90. maybe it was just the 94's we need a wiseman.

Either the driver or the weather, both could result in that kind of variation.
 
I say stick with what brought around the DSM hype! Sure other models might have been built with different style or some better components, but nothing can beat the original first generation...which without, never would have come any of the other models :D! But in all fairness, each model of car brings its own style, power, and personalization to the table!
 
i call bs. everyone knows that the best 1g is 92 6/4 combo! Although it dont make twoi shits cause everyone mods the hell out of them, not saying there is anything wrong with that!
 
The best thing about a 94 is No Pop Up headlights.

i'm sry i will have to dissagree,,i love pop up headlights i think i adds a little more style to the car even tho lots will prob dissagree with me LOL
 
^^Please stop talking like you are AIM, you sound like a 12 year old on here.
 
could also be a difference in how the car was launched. rpm,reaction, weather.
 
My earlier statement was a joke and a personal opinion. But to answer the question You could take two brand new 94 talons straight out of the factory and they both could have ran completely different times even if driven by robots with the exact same reactions.

IF that was the case then there is something wrong with the car. Since if you took two identical cars right off the assembly line they should run the same. Seeing how a assembly line reproduces the same product over and over! i mean i tenth of a second would be understandable but no more then that. IF both of the test subjects are the same you know what i mean?:talon:
