06 eclipse gt vs 04 srt

[808drifter]

aparetly its not a well know option but dodge does ofer it a some what of a conversion kit. From what i hear it costs almost half of what the car is worth id have to ask my friend he works for dodge.

That is interesting I may just have to stop by the dodge dealership and ask about it while I am out today

[Sleepr awd]

yeah i'll def. ask my friend that sells cars at our dealership now

I bet the SRT-4 will win.

[2006 ECLIPSE GT]

i see alot of srt's on the road where i live.

i raced another one a few nights algo on the freeway. i won but not by much. i don't know what year it was, i know the 04's are a little faster then the 03's

im not saying my car is faster. its just in the 1st and 2nd gen's. eclipse threads i got bashed on, saying the 06 eclipse are tanks and the srt will destroy me. i raced two different srt's, one twice and the other once. the first race i lost, i had a really bad take off but even at that he didnt destroy me. the secound race i won barely at a rolling start. the third race was the race a few nights algo. i know its pretty much a drivers race, now if the srt's i raced had better drivers, then mybe it would be a different story. the srt's are faster cars becuz they weigh alot less but a stock srt will not destroy a stock 06 eclipse gt.

ya i dont know of any AWD srt. hmm..

but ya i think the srt will win.

[2006 ECLIPSE GT]

there is no 4wd srt, i guess i herd him say something about 4wd and i tought he was talking about his car. my bad.

[808drifter]

its a convesion kinda like the ralliatr conversions for the eclipses

[qr25sentra]

i really like both cars a lot and thats what brought me to this forum.. im planning on racing both to see how i do.

SRT-4- underrated, 230 hp 250 tq... yea go look at some dynos, if this thing was properly rated it would be more like 260 hp and 285 tq.. it makes the peak tq at 2200 rpms.. and if u kno a lot about powerbands u want ur peak tq to be there early and the hp to be there late.. as well as a nice flat line with the tq called a platue.. from 2200 to about 4 grand the torque(250 ft lbs) will be there.. the hp drops off kinda early at around 5200.. now the thing with this car is, is that ppl dont kno how to drive them..

ur best bet is to take it from a dig.. and hope he goes up in smoke.. all this torque with FWD and 215s on the car is horrible.. kinda pissed me off like when i looked at the 05 GTO with 235s.

the eclipse is fast.. no doubt.. if anyone has a dyno i would really like to see it...

but if properly driven the srt4 can run a 13.7, i've seen it done.. this is rare tho.. most of them run mid to low 14s.

i've been waitin to see this race since the new eclipse came out..

i dislike the srt-4 but i like that it is boosted

yes the eclipse is fast, it traps the same speed on the 1/4 as other cars that run high 13's and low 14's, yet when tested it was said to run a 14.6 or so, it is entirely possible, that this is b/c of the motor mounts they used, at least on my eclipse, the motor mounts made a big difference on how fast it got off the line and how much easier as well.

Roadraceengineering has gotten one of the new eclipses to 300whp w/ bolt ons, i/h/e i believe

this would easily put it at mid 13's, and also, the new eclipse has Eagle RSA tires, which are proven to suck, the kdw's that comes on the srt-4 do not suck

the new eclipse in numbers should beat the srt-4
the reality is that the neweclipse will get spanked by an srt-4 until its modded

In 2005, the SRT4 came with an optional ACR package. This upgraded the tires to 225 and the suspension to an adjustable TOKICO shock. This is what my friend has and with the LSD that came out in 04, and the bigger tires this car can launch pretty hard. It corners very well and has very strong pull through 3rd gear. We were able to hang with an older style 600CC Kawasaki sport bike at a 75mph highway roll, and the SRT motor is stock. I dont doubt that if Mitsu. started to think about racing they would take a lot of weight off, and it would be a much better machine. If there is one problem I see that is from a manufactuers standpoint, its that they put way too much weight in all their cars. I think that they should offer a sport line of their car, like Nissan has their NISMO 350Z, and Dodge has their SRT lineup. I think that it would sell very well in today's market.

Mitsubishi does have a sport line the EVO's are. Personally I where going to buy a new Mitsubishi right now I and my choices are a New Evo or a New Eclipse I would go with the Evo. For one it is only around a couple thousand more for the Evo and with that you get more hp, awd, and a motor that is very easy to mod and can handle up to 500 horsepower on stock interals.

[qr25sentra]

^ srt4's motor also handles 500 at the wheels on stock internals.. its just that when u get up to the 300 whp level with fwd, it sucks.. then u need to use really good DR's.. i love the evo though.. i would get a white one..

so does the new eclipse come with an lsd? how hard are they to launch.. i kno my new car is easy..

[Sleepr awd]

and still crankwalks like the 2g's did, at least i've heard reports of crankwalk already

"Ralliart" is mitsubishi's line of performance automobiles, they had a ralliart lancer (not evo), they are supposed to be having a ralli-art eclipse, galant and endeavor coming out

the evo's are just the infamous AWD rally car that stinking rocks... think if they had a ralli-art version of THAT!
