Beat a GST Eclipse
 
Yes, My friend and I were on the way home and this 5spd GST eclipse comes out and follows me and we got onto the interstate and he went flying by (had exhaust) Well I followed and we took an exit onto a long road that is always empty at night and well I got next to him and got on it and he didnt do anything so slew down and then he got on it and got by so finally we even up at around 30-40? Finally went for it and it was closely even but I slowly just started to pull away from him. Not bad I say for the auto v6 to bad my friend cant work technology or Id have the vid to show.

im surprised you didnt get him off the line...although i guess he was already spooled since you guys were moving.

I'm suprised you beat a GST, my brother has a '98 GSX and all he's done to it is a fmic, turbo off an Evo VII, intake and exhaust when we race it's up to the driver who wins.

bone stock the gst is a high 15 low 16 sec car, the gsx is a low 15 sec car stock...awd helps the gsx quite a bit, that and turbos respond quite well to mods (especially intake and exhaust mods)

Actually thinking about it...its very possible. My friend has a 5 speed GS and that thing is INSANELY slow. Eclipses = overrated.

the gs is like 130-140hp stock 2.2l the GST is a stock 2.4l? with 210hp Turbo. From a stop woulda been even better im sure I woulda tooken him now if it was a awd gsx then i dunno maybe be interesting. Not chads brothers though haha.

comparing the gs to the gst is like comparing the base camaro to the z/28 a slight difference

JimmyFrance 04-22-2005 04:55 PM

well that wasnt what i was implying. i was implying that since the base model is as slow as it is and ive beaten eclipse GT's, then the GST doesnt really seem that fast at all. Slow cars from base to highest engine option

Holy Crap the irony! I came up to a silver GS-T at a stop light today going to pick up lindsey, and i didnt even gun it until i heard his exhaust go all loud like, i beat him off the line by about a car length then pulled to about 2 at about 60 when he let off. It was awesome, i could hear his turbo and i could tell it was a 5 speed by how it was shifting, surprised me...slow cars indeed.

The GS's engine is a Chrystler so even though you aren't saying it's as fast as a GST/GSX there is no comparison whatsoever becaues the same company didn't even make the two engines.
