weird i saw a 5gen lude lose to a eclipse...had no chance to look under the hood sry

 

A 5th Gen Lude against a GST or GSX... Lude has no chance.

 

what exactly are the specs on GST or GSX ecplise hp/weight

 

umm since when was a GST or GSX THAT much faster then a 5gen lude? never...

its all driver when the 5g and the GS-T race... GSX has a better chance cuz of the launch being 4 wheel drive and all...

 

well the GSX is a good 100-150 lbs heavier than the lude but does have a better launch
i'd say it's all driver when it's lude vs. gs-t/ gs-x

 

Im not a Eclipse fan but how many DSM's you usually race are all stock. They usually boost the shit out of them. 200hp vs 210hp. Yeah i would also have to say it would be the driver.

 

ya I would say its all driver my friend has an 97 eclipse gst it has 217 horsepower it is stock my 99 lude is stock at the moment I have had three preludes so far an 82 an 89 and the car I have now anyway we have raced on many ocassions sometimes I get him sometimes he gets me just depanding on the day

 

if its a cold day then the gst has the edge,
if its a really really hot day say 95 degrees then the lude has the edge,
turbos dont performe very well in extreme heat

 

I agree with the boosting at high psi, but of course the 4g63 can take all kinds of abuse it is a solid motor, just like the H22

 

Agreed. I had a 91 GSX that would feel like horsecrap in any weather hotter than 85. God bless Natrually Aspirated motors.

In any case, what alot of kids do (and what i did) was go out and buy an intake filter, and a manual boost controller for a total cost of about 80 bucks, and run 14.40's all day long in a GSX.

That would kick the stuffing out of a stock lude.

Stock for stock though, could be interesting drivers race.
