Eclipse beats Mustang: I accept defeat
Well i was going home last night from the fireworks show they had near my house. I was getting on the highway when this car comes flying up on me like crazy. Anyways I'll skip the part about how we got on the freeway (don't want another Import vs. Domestic thread again
 ). But when we did finally get on the freeway i let him get beside me and we both punched it, by the time we were at 130mph he was probably about 2-3 car lenghts ahead. Gotta give it to those imports for highway racin'. Oh yeah and i don't know what kind of eclipse it was i just know it was cause i saw the little 'hump' in the hood as he went by. Now i know where NOT to race imports

Nice to see one of us 'domestic' guys can be humble about a loss.
But, the 3.73 gear ratio isn't helping you out on the top end. Let me guess at 130mph you were nearly tach'd out right? 3.73 is a great ratio, great 1/4 mile gear and gives respectible highway milege. If you want to go play with the imports on the freeway, you either need more horsepower or less gear.

nice race buddy, those dsm's are pretty easy to get down into low times.
i think this is the 1st time i've heard FROM a domestic losing to an import...usually is honda's saying they beat them, then being flamed...

Yeah the turbo ones are really fast from the factory. And I've heard you can get 300 HP from them with less than 1000 dollars with just bolt-ons because they are so detuned from the factory.
The bubble in the hood is on all eclipses whether turbo or not. |

How did you get your mustang up to 130mph ?
From what I've researched all these mustangs (except cobra/saleen) are governed at 110. Unless you took the limiter off of course.

FYI, the governor is not for safety reasons, they're for air pollution reasons. If it were for safety, we'd be governed at 75.

93 and down 5.0s can go as fast as you can with the HP you have no governors. Ive had mine over 130.
Those DSM are not amazing from the factory but I seen so many at the track pullin 12s. Whenever I see one on the street I give them respect.

1000 dollars on a eclipse will not get you a three hundred horses with that much the stock turbo will be maxxed out before it hits that. it was prolly a gst or gsx you raced my gsx you to get up in the 140's if i remember correctly.

Even if it was only 275 thats plenty to beat a 90 GT stang by 2-3 car lengths. I believe the fox mustangs only had 240 HP, and the eclipse is probably lighter. |
