both stock and 5 speeds. my buddy has the eclipse, we both just recently got the cars. he wants to bet me on a race, should I or will i get killed? anyone info will help, thanks.

i don't think the weight difference will make up for the 40 or 50 hp difference, GS-T

b16a in a hatch> GS-T
b16 in a del sol < GS-T

99 GS-T 3157 lbs. 210hp 15.03 lbs/hp
97 VTEC 2522 lbs. 160hp 15.75 lbs/hp

98 b16a civic hatchback 2339lbs (add a few for the motor swap if you want) 14.61lbs/hp

91 b16a civic hatchback 2127lbs (give or take a few for the swap if you want) 13.29lbs/hp <-------the obvious choice

as you see, going by specs alone, the GS-T will beat the del sol. itll be a good one though. then again, you never know whatll happen in the real world, misshifts, drivetrain wear, the distance raced, all that stuff.

Gs-t will win. Unless he sucks at driving. I've beaten my friends friend gsx awd.
