JUST BEAT MY FIRST RICER
 

sitting at red light eclipse with huge spoiler loud pipe. he was in front of me. smacked the gas pedal a couple of time's he replied turns green he took off. had me by two car length's kicked it blew by him like nothing i am new to racing rice is an eclipse worthy or not. it had all those crazy stripe's & goofy lettering on it. let me know ok

------------------

heh, for what its worth, the eclipse is one of the faster ricers you will find, and the engine option one is actually kinda quick. but no ricer gets the engine option.

ok thanks dinomite i guess i wasted 2 or three bucks worth of gas. iy was fun though. thanks

------------------

What do those Turbo Eclises put out these days? The last number I remember was 210 HP.

I think the base engine was under 150 HP. Not sure though.

Either way, good race, Gotta love showing those guys the value in that added engine option http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

1995 Mustang GT

turbo eclipses don't exist anymore. the new one comes with a 210hp V6 instead of a turbo. still, second-gen turbo eclipses w/AWD could be pretty quick....

What about the CRX, there is alot of them in my neiborhood. I mean alot. Any way, I got a V6 pony, if i just happen to be next to one at a red light.....what might the outcome be?

------------------
Mods: Dirt covered engine compartment. (For stability, it's a very complicated science..so don't ask.) Torn, taped up air filter. Lost air filter housing.(Less weight..so I can go faster.) I bought the car used with all this and more! What a bargain!.....lol

What year v6? If it's a new one, you could probably take em. If it's a pre 99, you probably would not.

I think that we are missing the point, horsepower is great, but it is tourqe that makes the difference,

good kill, put those guys in there place!

Not much, but keep in mind it is REALLY light. If your 95 v6 is stock, you will most likely get beat. My first stang was a 95 v6 and it was definitely slow. (no offense) The 94-95's only have 140hp!!! Once I put in a dual exhaust system, and a k&n filter, the car felt a lot better, but I'd still get whooped on by integras and such.

I have a 91' crx with every bolt on and an after market computer and I run a 15.9 @3000ft.

I really dont think that you would have much of a problem with a stock crx of any year.

Most v6 trucks will out accelerate a stock crx.
