Ok my friend has an eclipse gst 5 speed. It is comp stock. He says its running like 220 hp. I dont really know. I have a stock 89 auto convertible. I dont have any nopistons.com stickers so i dont have any extra hp boost from that. I guess that his is turbo but like i said it is all stock. Do you guys think that i could whoop him up in a race. I was thinking that i could get him on a curvy road and that would make it easier to get the kill but he will want to race the next time i see him no matter where we are.

I think he might kick your ass on either. Verts are slow.

Shane.Trammell 06-23-2002 03:04 PM

mine is really not that slow. Im sure i could beat him if there were some special circumstances! FOr instance if he had a flat tire or something! Ok well im glad i asked before i got killed.

GS-Ts run mid 15 sec. 1/4 miles



Stock verts run a low 17 sec. 1/4 mile

Well he told me that his is a gst but it just says gs on the back. I am looking at them on ebay and all of the ones that have the wheels he has are just gs. I never looked at his engine so i really dont know if its a gst or just a gs. THis guy always has seemed to have a problem with stretching the truth a little far so i dont know what it is. I dont know what year it is either but i think it is at least a 97, and it is not the new style.

Shane.Trammell 06-23-2002 03:20 PM

ok it looks just like this except it is white. and it is not lowered at all. But it says gs on the back.



ebay

Well I think the 1/4 times are about the same betwen a GS and a GS-T.



I've got a 88 vert, I have full exhaust, intake, underdrive pullies, weight reduction, ect. and IMO the car is still way slow, and torque-less. I think with all those mods I would be pretty lucky to be breaking into 15s in the 1/4. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

I think I'm going to sell my two 7s to go buy that car!! Hell yeah! It even has the cool 2 tone paint job I love. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

I wonder how much that paint job would job cost. I think it would look great on mine. I think i could get it at maaco if just paid for two of the ambassador paint services that i saw advertised on the tv. they were like $189 i think.



Whoa i didnt even notice. THat is a 3 tone paint job! Did you see the orange in between the red and black.
