SOme kid at my school just bought a 1991 Mitsu Eclipse, with a a single factory turbo. Its completely stock, and it has a five speed. The kids been talking **** for a few months, but I don't think his car can run with my stock auto stang. What do you guys think?

no clue what they run, probably 16s somewhere, what year stang do you have? what tranny?

Driver's race. If you get a perfect launch, you SHOULD take him. That's IF he's completely stock.

You should take him, if it were an later eclipse like a 96-99 I would watch out the 99 gst runs mid 15's stock so im guessing the 91' should run low 16's maybe high 15's not sure because they are lightweight, if he has any mods done to his car other than exhaust I would watchout...

he's either a 190hp fwd or 195 hp awd. either way, he should be able to beat you. he has similar power and less weight.

he will take you, dsms are very quick, your talking about the ones with the flip up lights, so its fwd they didnt start awd til 92

edmunds says they had an awd eclipse in '91, but they've been wrong before. I'm pretty sure there were no flip up lights, either.

They do have flip up lights.

redass02gt · 02-15-2006, 06:21 PM

hmm, apparently I've been fooled. that picture ain't a '91.

I forgot to mention, the car has 160,000 miles. I'm still gonna race him, but he won't race me unless its from a roll, which I don't like. I have an automatic, and a stock Ford auto + 35 MPH roll= me getting embarrassed by an asshole. I don't care if I lose to, its just he thinks he's SO badass in his little DSM. Anyways, I have a 2004 Mustang, auto, 3.9L V6, with a little over 35K on the tac.
