I have beat two GS-T's, stock vs stock. Problem is that with factory forced induction you will have to spend twice as much to keep up once they start modifying.

Peak hp is about as meaningfull as hp per liter. The max may have less peak hp, but the hp and torque curve are better throughout the RPM range.

To my knowledge the newer Eclipses dont have turbos? Am I mistaken?

Oh so this eclipse WASN'T a dsm? That's a good kill. but if it was a dsm 2nd gen or 1st gen with intake and exhaust, that would be impossible cause that alone can take them down the 1/4 in the 13second range if launched well.

Nice kill man. just keep lookin out for cops.

Re: i beat a turbo eclipse???

Hey,
I had a 98 Eclipse GST Spyder that got stolen before i bought the max. I will honestly say, my eclipse that was completely stock with the stock turbo is much faster then a 4th gen max, and I also beat plenty of 5th gen max's. So my guess is that he did not know how to drive or shift.

How do you define DSM? I always thought DSM was another word for Mitsubishi (Diamond-Star Motors)... hence all Mitsubishis are DSMs, he||, lots of Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth/Eagles are DSMs for that matter.

It wasnt a GST. It was a base model with a turbo. GST's can be damn fast.
