I've never raced a turbo eclipse but I've raced a 2000 non turbo and man those things are slow. I know i put at least 5 car lengths between us, most likely more than that. The way I see it, if a car HAS TO HAVE turbos to be fast, why buy it. Buy a car thats already fast n/a and put the same turbo on it and you'll beat everything. Just my opinion.

put the same turbo on your v6 stang that the eclipse had and you'll kick his *** into the ground.

well i can tell yeah that i really do not pay much attention to anything thats runs 15sand i would have to agree that if you want to drag then get a v8 and go smoke that little ***** with a stock 5.0.there is nothing i hate more than a rice burner with an attitude.but hey you know what if you like the car for just the body style thats cool but if you are going to beef it up get the muscle cause there is nothing better sounding than a ford v8 with flowmasters.

"StoplightWarrior" posted 12.3@111 GT
Please excuse my stupidity but how are you able to achieve 12.3 @111 in a 2000gt. Do you have some type of air induction system? what is "Tornado Air Management System" is that what is getting you so much power? I have a 99GT and with all my mods I am just able to get to 13.687. .................................................. ............................................... Mustang 99GT Under drive pulleys, subframes, 3.73, sport Lowering springs, strut tower brace, caster/camber plates, rear sway bar, tokiko illumina adjustable shocks/struts, upper&lower rear control arms, timing adjuster, 245x17 Michelin pilot, high performance brake pads,k&n filter (no silencer, no spare tire). |

13.67's
Maybe your only running 13.6's because most of your mods are suspension ones. you need somewhere between 370 to 400 hp ina full weight gt to run 12s
if i had a gt id start off with 4.10 gears, a cold airintake, pulleys, a computer chip, 70mm thb. just my opinion

If your putting down the V6's what do you think of the 4cly. stangs? A car is a car regardless the power it has, I respect anyone that has there own ride and can honestly say I worked hard to earn it. I have just as much as respect for someone with a v6 mustang as a v8. Not everyone can afford to buy a GT like listed. You should be happy that he bought a V6 Mustang appose to going to buy a Civic straped on a big fart pipe and bad mouthing stangs like most ricers. I got a 351 in my car so should I rag on you cause you have a 302? Engine size, car type, engine mods. It doesn't matter, it's how you appreciate your car and treat it and respect others that drive there own vehicle.

"95mustanggt" thanks for the reply, I guess "StoplightWarrior" has one of those "GHOST" cars that we see sometimes in these forums
"SixShooter00" you do have a point here, most people start their upgrades with the engine, I see them a lot @ the track slipping their tires all over the place, my suspension allows my tires to stick to the ground (better take-off) compare to the stock stangs. I am finally done with my suspension and now I will concentrate in getting a X-pipe and a cat-back system, my car will be paid in one year and my boss (the wife) already approved for me to buy a turbo...man I can wait |

I ignore most V6 mustangs when they get all hot and want to race me, but I do race them 'cause it's more of a challenge than a civic or integra and hey alot of the guys that I know who converted from V6 to V8 "got tired of losing to V8's" so they changed. I just hope I don't come accross any guys like SixShooter00 |
