GT no way you would win...

What does your car on average run in the 1\4 mile?

The GS and RS 3G is between 16.2-17.0 on average
The GT 3G range from 14.8-15.5 depending on year and if it is a spyder or not

Even though it is not much faster looking on paper it would amount to you losing by alot in real life. I had a GT 2002Eclipse and a 2000 GS Eclipse as well I know them both well

Don't think there's much chance of you beating a v6 3g. My friend Seth has a modded 3g GT and it's pretty quick, and depending on the race (dig or rolling start) and what sort of area we're racing through, he can usually give me a good run. Any place with turns I'll own him, he just can't stick with me through the corners, but straights where we're topping out the final gears he'll usually take me (curse you, top speed limiter, CURSE YOU!)
