92 camaro VS 2000 eclipse GT

[97cavalier]

ok, so my brother thinks that he can smoke my camaro with his 2000 eclipse gt 3.0 v6. It has 200hp and it is front wheel drive auto. It does not have any thing done to it it is all stock. i have my 92 rs camaro auto with the 305 tbi and after i get my headers and exhaust (flowmaster) on do you think i will have him? If not i will definently have him after i do my lt1 cam swap with my new prom and 160 thermostat, right?

After the headers and exhaust.. im saying its a pretty close race.. after the cam swap, prom and hopefully new heads, you'll definately take hm.

Stock for stock... I'd go with him, sorry. Intake and exhaust... I dunno. Strip some dead weight outta your car and throw some good gears on there.

[97cavalier]

ya i know stock for stock he will win, but after i take my ac unit out and put a dummy pully on and get my headers and exhaust i think i will have him.

[Nate355RS]

If your exaust and headers give you about 30hp, you'll be even with him hp wise, and your tq will make up for the weight disadvantage a little bit. But in the end he is probably going to edge you out. Something that'll maybe give you the edge is getting rid of that stock air filter housing for a non-drop base open air filter, that might give you the upper hand.

edit- just saw your removing ac, i'm gonna have to give the race to you but it's still gonna be close

[97cavalier]

ya, i was going to do that cold air one that goes by the fog light for the tbi. i do not know yet.

[97cavalier]

and after i get my lt1 cam swap i know i will have him, but fo now i am just seein what you guys think about this. And is it hard to put headers no my car?

[drvngstorm05]

you'll lose... cam, prom and stuff will make it close, but with the cam i'd bet on you... i've drove a v6 eclipse, they're not half bad, and i used to have your engine, so until the cam swap, i wouldn't even try him unless you're ready to lose

hate to be a downer and all

[97cavalier]

ya i understand, i don't get upset,lol, cuz i know my car is a dog unless i wake it up, and the hammer is ready,lol

You know, things under the hood have changed alot over the years in all cars...
and the GT is the highest race package for an eclipse isnt it? Well then it only seems fare that to have bragging rights against a Camaro owner(like yourself), your brother's 2000 eclipse GT should have to beat a Camaro of the highest available racing package, of the same year
Tell your brother that he doesn't have bragging rights unless he beats a 2000 Camaro SS and see what he says to that...lol

i know, my brother is gay, not really but you know what i mean, and the gts is the top of the line on witht he turbo. And the z28 would be the top of the line camaro for 92 right? not my lame rs. Because the z's had the 350 tpi, oh ya. I smoked him all day long when i had my 2000 ls1 t/a. i even let him have head starts and i would smoke him.

[97cavalier]

oh, never mind the last post, i know you ment a z28 instead of a RS. sorry

[philly rs]

hell yeah im with storm. when my 3.8 was stock i could beat one but not by much i think my car being a manuel mattered on that one. a 305, those dont have much power at all, he will kill u, hes alot lighter than u on top of everything else. even with the mods u have thats not enough... now do the cam and im sure things will get good.
