i just got my 87 t2 and my friend that has a gsx is talkin **** and i was just wonderin if i could beat him in a race when he gets his car back? mine is totally stock with a 5 speed and his car is also 5 speed but he has exhaust and an intake.

thanks so ur predictions.

 

I think you will probably show him your tailights

 

He may launch faster cuz of the AWD.. but in the end the T2 shoud take it..

 

No problem.



The GSX may not pull on him that bad because you have to ease out the clutch on a AWD car then get on it. If you can get some good traction, you should get right in front. Oh yeah, wait a minute, you dont traction with a T2

 

I think they run like 15.2-15.5 stock. They're pretty heavy. It should be a good race.

 

Dont underestimate the downpipe as an upgrade on a DSM if he hes got one.

 

my friend has a gs-t and he'll always see my tail lights. Im guess'n that he'll get a jump on you cause of the traction but if you shift right youll prob put a couple of cars between you and him by the end nuffin to worry about. Ive always liked that model eclipse but bottom line, its not in the same class as an rx7 period.

 

my friend wants me to note that they are in the same class but you know what i mean

 

Tough call...but if the GSX has intake/exhaust, I think he'll take you.



If your 87 T2 is running perfect, you will hang or pull on him from a roll. My old neighbor had a 98 GSX w/intake, DP,MP, catback, safc. he'd KILL my 91 n/a. The T2 was another story...but then again mine is faster than a stock T2.



Good luck! You'll give him a good run either way

 

yea i guess your 7 really does have to be in perfect running order, i still think you got him. Is the tii 100% stock,,no fuel cut off atleast. Cause if you had fco you could deff getting him in the higher rpm.
