RE: Turbo!!!!
I know the rx-7 isn't slow, but I think I oculd beat him, because I'm a better driver than him, also because i have a higher top speed then him. I don't know about the mustang, would it help if i would buy new headers, and a bigger throttle body, and also NGK sparkplug wires? Would those things increase my accerleration more? right now, i'm driving with ripped headers, and also a waterpump that's leaking anti-freeze, and a clogged throttle body. And i beat the rx-7 who came from behind, and tried to pull a cheap shot.

I think you will Crush the RX7 but I think the mustang has the edge on you. even with the automatic because if you dont just floor it the auto wont just spinn tires but if it is just floored then the tires will spin for a while

And yet again, we meet Emonz. Sorry, but I think the sleeper 2Gs are so much better. I met a guy who owned a 2g GSX the other day. Funny story for another forum conversation. anyway, the outside looked all stock, had the RS looking spoiler and a nice paint job, that's it. That's until you popped the hood. Had the upgraded turbo, all the bells and whisles that came with it, and had some exhaust that wasn't loud. a nice deep tone, that's about it. Seriously, if i pulled up to this guy and felt like racing him i'd be sure i had this RS beat. That's until he launched on my *** and i heard the BOV. hahaha.
The 1g eclipses...eh...don't get me wrong, i respect my elders and they're fast and sick cars...but i think it'd choose a 2G over a 1G anyday. That is my story and i"m stickin' with it.
BTW emonz, I really don't go looking around forums to disagree with you. i just happens. hahahaha

that little pause is prob either wheels still hoping or your rpms dropping down fron spinning. and what are you replacing the throttle body for? it is bad or broke?
And Ill agree with you about the GSX it has much more potencial than the 420a but if I were you id just buy a cheap 1G 90-92 GSX and mod that they have better motors than the 2Gs. It all comes down to looks I guess me personally I like the look of the slpeerish 1G over the 2G anyway

RE: Turbo!!!!
well depends on who you're talking to. You work with a bunch of Eclipses, mod them, etc for a while and sure, it may not be that fast for you. But when you come from driving a 1.5L Honda Del Sol, It was fast as a bat out of hell. 
Just makin' my opinion count. I guess what i also wanted to say is I think the 2g's are better looking in design than the 1g. Again, all personal thinking, but just watned to share

yea i know what your saying. I had a tiburon before my awd talon. I loved how fast the talon was, but like anything else, it gets old and you need something new. Thats why my new project should give me a 10 sec monster.
