okay so im researching a lil bit a guy from work wants to race me and he drives a 98 gs 300 lexus. and he says their is a supra engine under the hood can my gst take it if lets say i do 18 psi or 16???? thanks guys once again

 

so far this is what ive come up with but this is the stock gst. any idea how much this monster weighs? i cant find it but its looking to me like im going to roast this shi7 outta this lexus think i should bet some mula? im not the best driver but im not bad i have been driving for about 5 years now so i think im pretty good, but i imagine everyone does
this is for the eclipse notice the zero to sixty time and this is stock. the lexus i couldnt find alot about[/align][/align]mitsubishi eclipse gst[/align]weight 1700 lbs.[/align]Transmission: ........ 5-speed manual
Performance (manual transmission)
Horsepower: .... 210 HP @ 6000rpm
Torque: ........ 214 ft-lbs @ 3000rpm
Acceleration: .. 0-60mph: 6.5s
1/4 mi: 15s[/align]
heres the lexus
the gs 300 we tested ripped off a quick 7.6 0-60 mph run.
Horse power.... 225-220, At 5 speed, Rwd

 

are you sure he didnt say he had a SC 300? The sc 300's came with the 2jz supra engine, the gs 300 didnt....If he does indeed have a supra engine and keep in mind it may be turbo you would get smoked. Did you see the engine in his car? Does his car look like this PICTURE

 

no its a newer one it looks like this

 

well from what i could find i didnt see anything that had to do with a supra engine. Ask him to pop the hood and you will know right away if it is a 2jz supra engine. Could you beat him though, probably

 

Those cars dont have the 2JZ so If he isnt boosted I wouldnt be really worried. Even if he does have the non-turbo 2JZ you shouldnt have much trouble. Just shift well and take it all the way to redline and you will be fine.

 

atown... use your brain there is no way in hell you can get a GST down to 1700lbs... a lotus elise (one of the lightest cars they make) is 1800lbs. the curb weight of a 2gb eclipse gst is 2899lbs. the gs300 does not have the 2jz engine. the is300 has the 2jz engine from what i've heard. lexus are usually heavy and w/ apx 225 hp stock... you should beat him. if he does have a 'supra' engine swap and it's stock... it should be pretty close. if he's got anything done to it... ur toast lol

 

Ya i was wondering what kind of eclipse you had at 1700 lbs.. But most likely guys that buy lexus's dont put a lot of money into performance unless they are hooked up with a shop in some way.. You should find out more about his car though..

 

hmmm i guess im just retarded im not sure my gst weighs but it is a lil lighter bcuz i have no ac but not a whole lot lighter and the lexus engine is bone stock nothing done to it but pipes so im not worried i know my 4g63t is going to smoke an auto tranny piece of junk. and no turbo on the lexus. but once again you guys are awesome and thanks for letting me know how much my car weighs its very nice to know the right weight

 

I have all of my AC stuff sitting in a box in my garage, and it feels about 50-60lbs maybe.. Not a lot, but it is a noticeable difference.
