Also, i think a 3000gt engine is almost bigger than the 1g engine bay...  . On the otherhand... The fastest i've heard of an Eclipse running was 10.5, so i'm interested to find out about an 8 second eclipse. |
No shit the v6 is bigger than the engine mounts in the four cylinder gen 1... but so is the tundra v8 bigger than the mounts in the four cylinder celica. But the winner of the pro v8 rwd drags last year was a celica with a tundra engine in it... I'm just using it for rhetorical comparison. I was talking about a stock engine... I couldn't believe that there was a stock engined eclipse that actually made it into the 8's.. can someone post up a link here for those stats? plus man 8 seconds doesn't have to be between 160 and 180... it can be as low as in the 140's... don't believe me? hit me up and I'll show you a car can be in the 8's and the 140's. Accel and speed are two completely different things.. for instance a pinto that is featured right now in I think sport compact car's sleeper review (a pinto in scc??) get's like 13.2 at 92mph, but a vette does 13.36 @ 109.4.
