eclipse beating GT??
There's a chick that goes to our school that says her 2003 eclipse GS beat a 2003 mustang GT. Does anyone beileve this at all? I know i dont, just wanted some opinions on it.
|
It's not very likely but if the mustang was a stick and the driver sucked it could be possible
I have also noticed that people in eclipses seem to think they are racing someone that is not in fact racing them |
unless she has a big turbo on there its not going to happen.
|
There's a kid in my town that says his all stock Talon with an exhaust would stomp the fuck out of my friend's built gt. He also asked me if my Mach was a 3.8, I'm sure he thinks he could smoke me too hahaha. I rev at him every time I see him.

There is no possible fawking way. My girlfriend has a 2002 Eclipse GS 5spd (which I drive regularly) and I have a 2003 GT 5spd, there is no comparision....AT ALL. The Eclipse can barely get out of it's own way. She would need a power adder, which you said she doesn't, so she looses.
Edit: I'm actually a memeber on Club3G forum just to hang around and learn about the Eclipses in case I ever have to do anything to my GF's car. The ones with any sense will admit that a GT will always beat a N/A Eclipse, even the six cylinder's. The only close race for a Eclipse is a V6 Mustang (That is a pretty general statement that does not take into many varibles.) |
My first car was an Eclipse GS. No way in hell. It couldn't beat a fucking Spectra let along a Mustang GT. Lmao.
|
Only eclipse thats going to hang with a GT or take him are the 06+s 6 cylinders..and yes..I've watched it happen, a few times, to a few different drivers..
|
I've got a 4 cyl. '95 Eagle Talon AWD Tsi (eclipse) with very little mods that would walk all over a stock GT.
|
Mom used to have an eclipse. No way.

I had an 02 GS. SLOW AS HELL. My v6 beats the hell out it
|
My roomate has a 99 GS-X eclipse that has some light mods; i.e exhaust , turbo controller etc etc and my stock (at the time) auto 96 non-pi gt would run all over it.
IN other words, no. The mustang wasnt even racing more than likely |

gt vs gt and the mustang still won |
were talking 06+ GTs.
|
06+ Eclipse GT v6's are quick. Go find one at the track..
Buddy ran consistent high 13s at 96MPH, while spinning the tires off the launch and into second.. Think he could've seen slightly better times if the traction was there. Mid to High 13s for a STOCK 99-04 GT around here are pretty normal. |

eclipse's are slow as shit. They are like civic's/accords/ integra's... they shouldn't even be in the same sentence as fast. My buddy has a 06 eclipse GT and that thing is slowwww. It deffiantly does not feel as fast as my GT did stock.

The old awd turbo model eclipses were pretty quick.

what the stangs always had going for them was more torque than hp the 5.0s and early 4.6s made between 205-225hp respectivly (except the cobra) but ranged from 275 to 290 ft lbs the 99+ 4.6 has 260hp 305 ft lbs
most smaller motors even if they can match the hp can't get anywhere near the torque cause for a good amont of torque you generally need displacment people generally talk about hp but torque is what moves you |
The fact of the matter is the 99-04 GT's(stock) vs the 06+ Eclipse "GT"(stock) has less hp and less tq and weighs more. Now commen sense will tell you the power to weight ratio is in favor of the mustang. just my .02
