it isnt every day some stock GSt will come near that. FWD is tough to launch consistantly. but that is a lil faster than I have ever seen one run. although my Buddies AWD TSi hung with my EVO side by side from 50-100 I was bone stock and he had an HKS cat back, 1G BOV, Injen intake, and hard pipe upper IC (stock Diameter I think). bone stock an 03 EVO runs 14.0s or somethimes as good as 13.8s so I was impressed with his car not have much for mods and hanging, I mean neither of us pulled at all...good race

 

hey guys ill let you all know my crappy but consistant times at the track last october. 98 spyder gst greddy fmic,injen intake,greddy type s,3"turbo back w/hi flo,with 235/35/19 nitto 555 on.first run-15.3 second run-15.4,third run-15.3,fourth run i let a friend drive-15.3,fifth run-15.1 him launching at 1500 rpm,that is the only way the spin happy machine would maintain its cool,anything above that is gonna spin through 3 gears,both dam tires!so im wondering if i go back with 16's and drag radials,the car runs its *** off and definately feels like a mid 14 sec car but the track proved that wrong.

 

auto or manual?

 

eclipsed4u got a question for you. I drive a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. and it has a V-6. I have a guy that wants to race me in a honda s2000. Race or no???

 

funny thing is he thinks his honda is turboed and supercharged

 

oh yea...its a 5 speed

 

guarantee that time was on slicks. it isnt every day that someone can get almost a full second better in the qm than a car magazine tester. and thats the problem with gsts too, the more power you make the more you spin unless you race with slicks. you pretty much stay in the 13's forever in a gst on stock tires, you just keep trapping higher and higher.

 

if you are manual and he's auto, then you have a chance but you will still probably lose.

if you are manual and he's manual, then you will lose.

if you are auto and he's manual, you will lose bad.

if you are auto and he's auto, you will still lose.

i take it that you are getting the drift here. even though his car has neither FI option, it is still light and fast.

but there's nothing wrong with losing. who knows, he may be a bad driver and you could end up winning. then you will have the bragging rights and you can decline any follow-up "oh i missed a gear", "my clutch is slipping", "i had the a/c on", " i had the radio on" races.

just don't race for money.

 

check your windshield washer fluid before racing it makes you go faster if its topped off :-p

 

hey you laugh, but the EVO actually uses the windsheild washer fluid at full boost and srays it on the intercooler
