Re: 97 eclipse gsx vs 3000GT SL

97 GSX all the way. I took a 3000GT SL in my little old 86, 140hp rx-7. When I sold the car to my friend I raced my GS-T against my old RX-7.....No contest. In my opinion, don't waste your gas (as expensive as 93 octane is these days)

That is true. Give the mods of each car first.

Re: 97 eclipse gsx vs 3000GT SL

No, it's cool, I'm a dude....I just have this thing for Jennifer Garner (hence the picture). I think it's that ass kicking girl next door thing. Anyway...I wasn't knocking your car or anything just letting you know that I have "been there, done that" and it's not really even a race. (no offence or anything)

I dont think it really matters.... there isnt anything you can do to a 3kgt sl aside from the twin turbo upgrade to see any real numbers against a gsx... it could be modded with everything but if there is no forced induction (nos turbo w/e) GSX should win...

Then why would you ask. Seems to me that you just answered your own question.

Hahaha that ^^ post/reply post/reply was really funnny to me.

Heres my opinion on the matter GS-X will rape the 3000GT. For instance my friend has a 3000GT SL AUTO not sure on the year and that thing is slow infact my 93 Accord LX was probably around the same speed a little faster. My friend ricky just purchased a 91 GS-T, so its a FF Turbo and the previous owner heavily modded the car so it flies. But from what i have read and seen the Eclipse GST and above will rape the heavy 3000gt, unless its a VR4.

But there are people that mod the SL to really move, have you done anything to your car?
Does the eclipse have any upgrades as well?

93 3000GT SL VR4
HP- 218 @ 5500- 218 @ 6000- 300 @ 6000
TQ- 205 @ 4000- 205 @ 4500- 307 @ 2500
RdLn- 6000 7000 7000
DvTP- FF FF AWD
Weight- 3500+

97 EclipseGS-T GS-X
HP- 210 @ 6000rpm- 210 @ 6000rpm
TQ- 214 @ 3000rpm- 214 @ 3000rpm
RdLn- 7000 7000
DVtp- FF AWD
Wgh- 2800 3000
0-60- 6.5
1/4- 15s

The SL is competent but the GSX is going to be faster. The only way the SL comes out front is a bad driver in the Eclipse and a great driver in the SL. (lets not do a mod this mod that arguement)
