Hi , I have a buddy that wants to race me at the local track this weekend and I was wondering what I might need {if anything}to beat him ? He has a 96 or 97 eclipse gst with cat back exhaust, maybe a air filter,not much but still its turbo…I have 92 gsr w/cai, short shifter and exhaust… What would I need besides driver, Thanks!
100 more hp?
yeaaaaaa you want to go up against a turbo eclipe? and your relaively stock?
granted the gst is about 140 hp stock, but the tw is at 130.
if you went up a GS that might be a possibility…lol

i swear i remember a print ad in the late 90’s for either the GSX or gst stating it was around 200hp
Huh, I figured it might be alittle closer than that. I 've looked at posted quarter mile times for the both of them and mine is 15.4 and the eclipse is around low 15’s. I haven’t ran this car at the track yet I just bought it…
im very sorry junkman, i was wrong the website i was lookin at was the wrong page. HERE are the specs for the GST:
Horsepower : 210 hp @ 6000 rpm, 205 hp @ 5750 rpm
Torque : 214 lb-ft @ 3000 rpm, 209 lb-ft @ 2200 rpm
0-60 mph : 6.5 sec.(GS-T, manual)
so its def up there, before you may have had a small chance, but now, you have nooooo chance…lol

dont be very sorry. Its not like you fucked one of my korean coke whores… OR did you!!! Good find one the specs! I was using what I remember reading off a hard sell print ad 8-10 years ago
I’d say a 440 Six-Pak would help a lot.
When i worked at a mitsu car lot i drove a gst and all i have to say to you is good luck maybe if you got a 10 sec headstart
yea u might want to take off about half the car or throw on some nos cause unless he’s a bad driver then its not looking too good.
Not to be a dick but for future reference u might want to put this in Legal competition and not GD.
well my friends 97 gsr walked on a gst. and my friends only mods were k&n sri and apexi exhaust. the gst took him like almost 2 cars out the whole then threw end of second into third he jus started walkin, and put atleast a car on him by 4th. so i would say driver.
my brother has a 93 GSR and he can beat a GST. especially with the small amount of mods that GST has. i would say you could beat him with some good driving.
…and this is why we need the crack-smoking smiley.
