tonight i went to hang out with this car group i might join, they had 2 or 3 eclipses there.... my friend has a v6 gt and always say **** about how his will smoke all of us, but he wont race. One of the eclipses was a v6 gt, but he wouldnt race, i was like wtf and they told me to race this other eclipse. they said it was a gst or gxt ( idk turbo fwd) i was like ok bring it and they said it was turboed and i said "fucccc" oh well i went anyways. 1/4 road i beat this eclipse 5 times in a row, turbo blairing and all.

i have a 2007 cobalt lt2 with pasesetter exhaust and adr wheels( dont do anything) lol

each run was about 1.5-2 cars ( he warmed his turbo up by driving around for a few minutes)


i was so suprised, he set up each race and called the "go"

i dont think it was luck because of 5 times in a row

any ideas

 

i dunno man thats is strange usually those turbo eclipse's are pretty quick but nice kill

 

What year eclipse? if it was 1995-1999 2nd gen, the guy didn't know hwo to drive. Those are AWD and put out 210. If it was 2000-2004, i could see it extremely easily. Those things are heavy and not too fast at all. Driver may have been bad as well. If it was the 2005-2007, i don't know too much about those, but I know that they are also EXTREMELY heavy and all as well.

 

wow reading this story hearing about the v-6 ecllipses and all i was thinking the whole time you had a ss/sc. then when you said the turbod and were like fucccc what ever i figured you were a stock ss/sc. but dam a regualar balt. but i know for a fact that the new v6 eclipses are faster then the ss stock. but its a drivers race but good kill.

 

errrr sounds like you need to find a new group he drove around to warm up his turbo? never heard of that before last i heard you wanted cool intake temps HAHAHAHAHA, but a stock GST should have eaten you alive, either its whopped out or my best guess is the kid was a retard and didnt know how to drive. theres better clubs in TX, rule of thumb, never join a club if they substitute Z's for S's and so on
in referance to a post above, a stock 2G is faster than a stock 1G but the 1G can me made faster cheaper due to the fact that the 1G has a 14B (assuming its a 5 speed, the autos has a 13B) the 2Gs has the T-twenty slow i mean the T-25. a GST is front wheel drive, a GSX is AWD. but reguardless they should have made short order of you.

 

yea.. they give dsms a bad name.. lol, ive beaten stock ss/sc with my
t-25 2wd talon

 

he warmed up his turbo? lmao

 

you dident know when warming up your turbo you can get more jiggawatts out of the flux capacitor

 

ahhh maybe i should have tried warming up my turbo when i had the TD06 20G strapped to my laser it would have made it a mad tyte whip yo

 

Maybe he was warming up his engine, as you really don't want to make boost with a cold engine, rather one would prefer normal operating temperatures.

 

i assume your moddeD? b/c there is no way a stock 2g dsm can beat a ss s/c

a stock 2g dsm only runs low 15's most of the time with a average driver but either way the 2g dsm you may of got the guy off the line but around 40-60 he should of started pulling b/c he wouldnt of had any more problems of turbo lag...he would of started pulling

 

agreed...

some of those eclipses are pretty heavy... depending on his year/model/turbo he should have smoked you... he probably doesn't know how to drive worth a damn, because 2.2's run what, high 15's low 16's??

i would stay away from that car club if that's the "guy to beat"

 

haha well hell either way a kill is a kill s good stuff man. Make them respect the chevy

 

In an LT Cobalt at that.
You should subtly drop a hint that there is a stock supercharged model out there, that he just got beat by a normal cobalt.

 

lol i dont know how i won honestly

but its the first gen eclipse and haha i dont know much about turbos

 

it was a 1st gen he should of raped you...im sorry but he should have....a 1g runs a 14.9-15.3 stock

 

When I raced them back when I was stock they couldn't hang. I used to own a 2001 Eclipse GT and I ran one of the newer GT's and he put the hurting on my car.

 

eh they are about the same, the new eclipse gt is almost impossible to launch. even harder than the ss/sc.

 

I raced a new Eclipse when i was stock and won but not by much. His front grill was even with my front wheel. I cold here that he had a cold air but thats all i know that he had.

 

First gen Eclipses are some of the best built. He honestly should have beaten you.

 

1g 90-91 had the big rod motors ....able to hold 450hp to the wheels....put a con filter on it,3 inch turbo exhaust,mbc,550cc injectors,maf-t or some other tuning stuff, clutch,16g turbo,bigger i/c and u got a low 12 second monster....

 

well im going to give him a few days and go at it again good luck to me, maybe i wont need it

 

Yeah, stock 1st gens with the 14b are pretty f'in quick.... I've had 2 1st Gens, and 1 2nd gen DSM's in life... that is what made me want this car! They are pretty equally matched to us (SS/SC's!)!!!
