Even with rear wheel drive, I don't think he would get a good enough jump off the line to stay in front of him long.. As soon as he got traction it would be over... 
But if you have some stuff done... You could hang with him easy enough.

Huh no one else caught this??? there is no way in hell an AWD eclipse will hang with it on the highway... the only way the GSX has a chance is from a dead stop. AWD sucks on the highway, I lose to SRT4s on the highway but from a stop I can beat them without any trouble.
No back on topic the mustang will win with mods unless you go from a stop and he cant launch his RWD very well. even then id bet he would catch up by 70MPH or so and pass on by

with the said mods, he should beat you from just about any speed. Now maybe on the highway you should hang but like i said from just about any speed he should take you. .

Ok i will have to put my 2 cents in on this seeing as i have raced a 5.0 with my 95 talon tsi-awd and this was when all i had was a CAI. I did i small launch, nothing spectacular and i took a lead on him, maybe 1-1/2 cars then through 2 and third he slowly, and i stress slowly walked on me to dead even. The only noticable mod being exhaust but he might have had more.
