Beat By a Mitsubishi Eclipse

[stylez]

Let me introduce myself. My name is Adam and I am a member on Club 3G , an enthusiast site for the 3rd Generation Eclipse.

The car you raced was supercharged. Ripp Modifications is the leading form of FI for our cars.

*hold on for just a minute as I gather some pics*







All of these pics however are on the V6 GT/GTS platform (the 200hp engine)

These kits are seeming to be getting more and more powerful as time goes on. The first few months, the kit was averaging about 280whp. In the past few months the kit is averaging about 350whp. The last pic I posted is the fastest 3rd Gen Eclipse in the nation pushing 400+whp/400+tq.

As for the RS you raced, its a base model 4cyl.

Your Cobra has 390hp. So Im assuming that should come out to approximately 350whp (correct me if Im wrong as all cars are different). The RS you raced had the Ripp SDS, so he was probably around 300-320whp. I think the main difference was the weight of both cars. I dont know how much your cars weigh, but I know they can be quite heavy. The base RS weighs in at around 2850. So I THINK thats where the race may have been won.
