6G Celicas Forums

my friend has a mitsu eclipse gsx and he wants too race me for 100 bucks his car is slightly moddedwith sr intake stage 2 clutch and headers he rollin 19s with extra wide tires. we rode in his car and it didnt feel any more powerful than mine. oh and by the way were racing to 120. so whattaya think go for it or pull back

hmm.... awd hes got you hard on the launch. but then again im expecting nasty wheelhop with those 19's.

you should pull on him pretty hard then.

he would kill you off the launch but i know that those 19's are gonna kill him.

nah, do it for fun, dont waste any money

he will take you! they are around 200hp stock..he will win

take his ass to the auto x track with the 19s he has hell be slow in and out of the corners and the GSX is a heavy bitch. your advantage will be the celicas wieght and low end torque if you take it to the auto x track:)

yes. I belive they are 210 hp stock

I dunno your car but if you are running on a stock engine he's gonna waste you.

red sun is right tho celicas are very good as far as suspension/handling on turns and the low end torque you could probably take him in the autox, but depends on the drivers too

his car is only a 98 they didnt have that much horse power back then did they

Yes they did. Back in HS, my friend had a 95 GSX, and guess who won when we both raced? Of course he did. I got my a$$ handed to me.

GSX > ST ... BIGTIME!

It's possible that he was going easy to set you up, so he could walk away with the bill.

Ya for sure, Im sorry but you guys gotta stop kidding yourselves, a 100hp st isnt going to beat anything!! I really doubt its suspension is any more tuned then other cars in its class and against a car with twice the power and AWD your just dreaming. He could start off in 3rd and still hand you your ass, sorry

Also 19s will increase top speed so once hes got momentum he'll hand you your ass again.

you will get owned
gsx's are super fast

Yeah, this is just an invitation for pawnage. Against a 02 Eclipse GS convertible with intake/exhuast I managed even until around 65 mph... Then it spanked me.

ok wait a minute where is the turbo on those cars he said it was somewhere hidden underneath the engine. he might be lying about this his emblems are shaved off so i really dont know what im going against it could be a baseline eclipse and i know i can beat them ive done it before

Ya I dont think its in plain site, just like the MR2, its hidden, but the piping makes it pretty obvious

You've beaten a baseline eclipse in an ST...?

i thought the turbos were up top, thats why the hoods had the bulge in them, was room for the turbos?

I don't think that's true. Bigger and heavier wheels will actually slow you down.

Wait you have an ST and u wanna race a GSX...and we're debating this?
