'01 ex vs 02 4 cylinder eclipse
Last night i was hanging out with one of my friends, and we were driving by the school by my house when we see a mutal friend with his spec-v and a red 02 eclipse hard top. So we roll up and are just shootin the ****, and the kid in the spec is like "why dont u two run (me and eclipse)?" so after a little discussion about where we were gonna do this, we both agreed and were off to a straight away a couple blocks away. The spec v drove ahead, the road was clear, so i said on three honks we go. I launched at a little under 3.5rpms and it was murder from then on, by the end of second i had about two car lengths. The kid was really cool about it. I wanted to run the spec just to see how badly i'd be beat, but he said not tonight. 
btw the eclipse was auto w/ tiptronic

Rep Power: 0 nope, bone stock, putting serious consideration into a n20 kit though, but i need the funds first, and possibly the funds for clutch and flywheel. but i still wanna sell my car, so i dunno things are up in the air.

Rep Power: 0 I basically had the same race just vs. a 6 cyliner GTS Auto. I drive a 5 spd dx with intake, exhaust. At the begening of the race I smoked her off the line. Then at about 85-90 she had me by about 3 car lengths, wasn't an *** whooping but god damn that thing pulls.

Not sure if the outcome would have been the same against the Spec-V though.
it wouldnt have been, those cars are pretty f---in quick. i just saw him pulling farther and farther away.

But yeah i've seen them move...they're not too slow. Should be easy to beat on as low as a 35 shot though. I raced a friends integra on that much (35 shot) and I pulled on him. His teg puts down 160 to the wheel. And he takes the Spec-V's by at least 1 car length.
