You will defenetly beat him... if he is stock... you got more power and a way better drivetrain... the tranny on those things are weak as ****... you can launch harder and you got way more power than him stock.... i dont see that car winning unless he has done weight reduction or has allot of engine mods or is just a way better driver than you...

Have u ever driven in a gsx eclipse? Or seen the easy amount of $600 worth in mods will get 300hp?

Not trying to be rude but I personally own a 95' gsx eclipse.

Plus even if he is stock...the gt-4 will really own beat him half a second at most.

XXX is right about the drivetrain, they are kind of weak compared to other turbo cars and DSM's were heavy also, but for 300 hp it only takes a few mods and that is why they became so popular, well and the fact that they're the most available turbo car on the market. I have seen a 1,000hp Talon AWD before though, but the owner got rebuilt and fortified the s*** out of the drivetrain.

ok i don't know if you guys know this but the tranys on the eclipse are not weak they are actually very strong they use the same trany as the stealth or 3000gt i know the front wheel drive models do but not sure about the all wheel drive models.
