who would win this? its been bothering me. i have a 06 cobalt ss sc stage 2 and my gf is gettn the eclipse. the eclipse weighs so much more, and the 0-60 times are almost the same. some one help me out here.

 

Is the eclipse an auto or manual. Those V6 Gt's are no slouch's

 

Stick. I was reading up on them. I meen 0-60 in 5.8, and the 06 cobalt ss/sc is 6.2 (no stage) at 205hp.

 

Should be a drivers race then

 

Thats what im thinking, but i really dont know.

 

i beat a 07 eclipse dont know if it was gt or anything but at the time i beat him by half a car this is when i was stock

 

I meen if the weight is over a thousand pounds difference, and the eclipse only has me by .6 of a second stock. then stage two should take it, still close, but it should. I have no questions that a SS could take a eclipse GS, its only like 160something hp.

 

Can't go by magazine times (esp 0-60 times) to see who will win a race..along with rated HP. The Eclipse is only ~500lbs heavier not over a thousand and also a stock SS has more than 205bhp in reality.

 

All the sites ive seen say the eclipse is over four thousand, and the cobalt 2 something. i went by that, becouse if that was correct, it would have been over a thousand pounds

Eclipse GT weighs 3543lbs

 

Curb weight is about five your right.

The gross weight for a eclipse is over four thousand.

The gross weight for a cobalt is three thousand.

Whats the deal there?

 

No, it's a manual and the MITSU website has it at 3479lbs.

Gross Weight - . 1. Weight of a vehicle, fully equipped and serviced for operation, including the weight of the fuel, lubricants, coolant, vehicle tools and spares, crew, personal equipment, and load.

 

Look what you posted....

Curb Weight 3,483 lbs
Gross Vehicle Weight 4,332 lbs

Gross weight is not how much the car weighs. Look at the Mitsu site and it says 3479lbs.

 

Sorry. that cobalt site misled me i got it now.

 

Definition: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
It’s how much weight a vehicle is designed to carry. The GVWR includes the net weight of the vehicle, plus the weight of passengers, fuel, cargo and any additional accessories. The GVWR is a safety standard used to prevent overloading.

 

I feel stupid but i found my anwser on the next site, then you told me to confirm it.

anyways.

Do you think it would be a drivers race? or one sided with the eclipse crushing me?

 

Drivers race

 

They should be at both around ~240whp (Eclipse with a little better ft-lbs and top 240's) the Cobalt is ~500lbs lighter. Equal drivers equals a deff win for the Cobalt.

 

Thanks, that has been bothering me for along time, I just got the cobalt less then a year ago, and i havent been into tuning cars before, Ive learned alot so far, but also im trying to learn it all as i go.

Plus, i cant have her holding that over my head.

Whats the most Hp i can get outta my car staying under warrenty? i know that has been asked a million times. hah.

 

you can win i member i lost to one only because he sprayed though
even then he only got me by half a car

 

Arent you turbo tho, im SC. or is the SC stage 2 close to the Stock Ss/tc ?

 

stage 2 is pretty much even wiht tc i would say just my input tho

 

Stock for stock.. I beat the new GTV6 Eclipse by 1.5 cars on 3 40mph rolls in a row.
