bah, its a crap car.... better handeling than his Z28, but not faster. either it is modded and he lied about being stock or he is just on the new car high.
a stock 97 spyder turbo will run the 1/4 in ~15.4. I have run a 14.8 in my RSX, but only 15.4 stock. I have a better setup on the RSX, but he has another 50 FT of torque. between the eclipse and I it would be about even. now considering that I have beaten a 91 type (dont know exact year, but that body) auto 5.0 LX, and stayed just about even with another of the same type. considering they were stock and you have mods...... he has no chance. eat him.

oh, and just for spite, if he races with the top down then bring a bag of uncle bens and toss it into his car once he loses
