Which one would win ? And does anyone know the 0-60 and 1/4 time for the GSX .

Thumbs up on this topic

Eclipse GSX
210hp
217lb-ft
0-60=6.7 sec.
1/4 mile=????


Teg Type R
195@8,000 rpm
130lb-ft@7,500 rpm
0-60=6.5 sec.
1/4 mile=????

It would be close I'm not really sure. According to the people on SuperHonda.com the Intergra would win

[GOD]

Well we both know why they would say the ITR ........damn it would be an awesome race... u say that GSX would run 6.7 are u sure ? It seems that an all-wheel drive turbo charged 210hp would do a better time than just 6.7

1/4 mile on ITR is 14.7

[VTEC V6]

that awd is heavy slows it down alot
dont matter if its turbo or not

i have a 1990 eclispe gs 2.0 16 valve dohc and i burned on from take off and the gsx would burn the painte off of that car

[GOD]

well i know that the GS-T 0-60 was 6.5 and the 1/4 was 15.3 The itr would beat the everliving $#@! out of the GS-T ...So does anyone have the specs for the GSX ?

AWD is meant for some heavy duty HP not some 210 hp car.. if they made that thing just RWD it would be twice as fast!!

[GOD]

you think so ....it has an ass of traction on the road..rain...mud whenever . I dunno awd is bad to tha bone

[LakeMountLude]

hehe never driven one so i cant say but that is just my theory.. that is why porsche is tryin to get rid of it on their 911 turbos... added weight so i figured it would apply to these cars too..

The GST has a 0-60 of 6.5 sec. So more is not always better. As in wheels being power by the motor.

[LakeMountLude]

that 0-60 time isnt really that fast ...

[SolReaver]

Oops sorry LakeMountLude I read too fast and quoted the wrong thing. I wanted to quote VTEC V6 :o

[LakeMountLude]

yeah i dont like the accord engines too much unfortunately.. they made them too weak.. i know they could have made them better but since they made it a luxury type honda they focused more on the ridability instead.. thats my opinion

[gang$tarr]

the GS-T is faster then the GSX, isnt' it?

aren't they the same engine, just the GSX has all wheel drive?

[VTEC V6]

yep ur right same engine but the gsx has awd
not sure if that helps or not

in the bmw 330s the 330ix is faster than the 330i because it gets better traction on take off
i dont kno if that applies to the eclipse or not

and the thing holding bak accord engines is not the lack of power, cause there really isnt a lack of power, if they would've advanced the timing from the factory and made it run on supreme like all the other import V6s in its class than we would've had like 220hp or so

and the main thing holding it bak is the automatic
if they made a manual transmission it would be much faster, pulling 14's stock

but i heard the 7th gen accord coupe will be the new honda sport coupe so it will have a manual transmission since the prelude will be discontinued

if they made a manual trans for the accord right now, i doubt anyone would buy the prelude, since the accord is cheaper and it would be faster with the manual
