plus this guy isn't even 18. i don't know him, but odds are he isn't the best driver. i'll take the car that could low-mid 16's any day any time over one that only wins with the best driver. there's a 70+hp disadvantage for the civic...
i'm a honda fan, but not expecting a miracle.

Rep Power: 0 i beat camrys 4bagers auto by a little. and accord V6 until about 55mph. i think the Gt is the 4 cylinder one so you should be pretty close. i dont know how many horse power they have but they are pretty heavy. a little trick: try to get some body to record it in his car. that should make a pretty big difference.

Rep Power: 0 i bet you'll win. If its from a dead stop and you launch on him first thing off the line you will get a nice lead and if you drive good you'll most likely keep it. Although you have a bad hp disadvantage you have a huge weight advantage, like chrisleecool said, eclipses are pigs

Rep Power: 312 when i was a noob stick driver, i raced some chick in her 3rd gen V6 auto. she killed me. we were both stock. she killed me bad. but it would have been less if i knew how to drive better. idk what it would be like now...probably just kill me by less of a distance. im sure of it

Rep Power: 0 It would be a drivers race IMO. 50-70 hp is a big difference... but think of like.. a Grand Am, 170hp, auto... Mostly a drivers race, with an edge to the civic after the GA hits 2nd gear....

Rep Power: 376 i hope you're referring to the older 15+ second versions of the mustang GT. anything newer is substantially faster than the 2000 eclipse GT
