me vs early 90's eclipse

well I was pulling up to a light and there was an early model eclipse in the right lane. I looked like crap and had an ugly exhaust on it. So I pull up and I rev to see if he wants to do anything. Then he revved back and all I heard was the high pitch of a bov. My face turned pail white and my jaw dropped. My window was already down, so he rolled his down. All I said was damn. It was a guy about my age. He was like you wanna go, I just told him not now. He laughed we both pulled into a gas station. We started talking,he has a 350z and this was his daily driver. He said he takes it out at night as well cause he likes doing what he did to me to people, and that most ricers take the bate of a crap looking car and think they can win. I was impressed.

Sweet. Well, since you didnt race, there isnt a win or loss. At least he was cool and talked to you. That is one of the "sleeper" effects.

I have exhaust, intake, and short shifter, and I am manual.

They didn't make GS-Ts until the new body style. It was GSX, RS, and GS. With this body style it is the GS-T, GT, and GS.

ummm GT-S is celica, it is GS-T for the new gen. And the even crappier is GS, plus I don't ever remember there being a GS-T for the earlier generations.

Blainestang has a spectacular aura about

2g: RS, GS, GS-T (as in TURBO), GSX (AWD Turbo)

3g: RS, GS, GT, GTS (S= Variable Exhaust Valve timing or something... worth an extra 10hp over the GT, I think)

No Master you are wrong.

Blainestang, your info is correct.
Here is a link for the newer Eclipse. http://www.eclipseforums.org/forum/

As far as the gsx goes,it is pretty quick. The AWD makes it quick. As far as the turbo goes, once its beefed up and with a bigger bov, FMIC paired with a Tuned AFC they can be monsters.
