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.

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.

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.

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.
