Eclipse GT vs Mustang GT/or Camaro

[evospyder]

I just got my Spyder GT about a month ago and i've started to fix it up little by little. so far i just got a K&N intake on it, Blitz kit, and ordered Headers and Catback on it. so i havent really raced it yet, but was wondering what i could beat as it is.....

1. Mustang GT (stock)
2. Lancer rally (just with headers)
3. Celica ( fixed up or stock)
4. Silverado Truck V8
5. Camaro (not Z28 or SS)

Just wondering before i go out there, dont want to mess with the sronger car. yet.

Well you have a 16 second v6 with minimal bolt-on mods, I wouldn't mess with v8s if you are looking for wins.

I dont know about that. I've run mustang gt's before. It all depends on if the person you are racing knows how to drive.
1. maybe, I've done it before
2. every day of the week
3. stock yes not to sure about modded
4. I would hope so
5. V6 yes, but racing a Z or an SS is fun too.
You cant beat the AMERICAN muscle, you will go down big, but its fun to see what they can do.

1. i doubt it...maybe if they were a bad driver
2. you would win, hands down
3. the GTS would probably give you a run for your money if it were stock. modded would be a very close race
4. yes
5. most likely if its a V6

1. Mustang GT--not unless they miss every shift
2. I can run faster than Lancer Rally editions
3. GTS might take a race, very lightweight car
4. V8 Silverado is way too heavy
5. v6 camaros are slow as balls--used to drive one

I dunno...I have beaten quite a few Mustang GT's back in my NA days. They usually run high 14's stock.

[eclipsed4utoo]

yeah but hes pretty much still stock

[3KSL95]

stock for stock your going to get killed unless hes a bad driver a gt spyder does 0-60 in 7.2 seconds according to car and driver so, stay away till you get those mods

[3KSL95]

im talkin about those v8 muscles that celica and the lancer you should wax

[Fecomosis]

i dont know...I beat a V8 easy..I have a 00' Eclipse RS..Manual..Boy..man..that car is pretty fast..I race that car like its going out of style. Iam about to race a Mercedes 80's car..4.9..do you think I have a chance?

A 94-98 mustang gt will run high 14's stock.
A 99+ gt will run low 14's and sometimes high 13's with a good driver.

evospyder you might be able to hang with a 94-98 auto mustang gt
(they run low 15's) but you would stand no chance against a 99+ mustang gt.I didn't now what year mustang gt you were talking about but that is what they run.Hope this helps.

i race a mustang gt last night...i think it was a '97 and it was an automatic. i beat him by about 3/4 car lengths. i actually thought that it would beat me.
