O yea, forgot about the lightning. I'm not a fan of the Cobra R. Personally it was made for those people who just wanted to road course, which is absolutely great IMO for Ford to do that, but the limited production run, and the high pricetag made it a poor car IMO. I would much rather have say a Zo6, and modify it slightly for the twisties even more. The Cobra R doesnt have AC, no sound system, IMO it isnt a good street car for daily driving. I am not an expert on the viper I guess, so I cant say too much about that one, they have always been too pricey for me to have any friend who owns one, or for me to even take the time to really look into them that much. Not downplaying the car, just saying I dont know much about it so I cant comment really.

 

Nice car 16G.... I wish the eclipse i had the driveline you have!... You probably saw my old eclipse... It was black with "Tanabe" across the hood and a blitz kit. It was a sleeper alright..... you'd fall asleep driving it through the 1/4... ha... anyways... nice ride

 

wait...did urs have the rearranged letters of ECLIPSE into SPEED on the back?

if u are...then daym. id say u turned complete 180!

 

aGAIN, welcome! and kick ass pimp rides....

 

Future.... yeah.. that was me alright.... I really liked the imports i have owned, especially the eclipses. Just not enough raw power for me....

I also had the white Dodge Avenger that was slammed on the ground with mirrored tint... I picked it up for almost nothing and drove it for a bit, and sold it.

 

For about 1000 dollars they'll go from a 15 second car stock to a very low 13 second car (like 13.1 without a problem), some have even hit mid 12's for less than 1000, how is that not enough raw power? I dont remember seeing your car, must have been an NT model I guess. I used to own a 95 GS model, and yea I have to say that thing was slow as could be.

 

yeah,, it was a non-turbo.... when i made the comment about it being a sleeper, i wasn't refering to all eclipses... I would have killed to have a turbo.
But on the side of raw power.. the WS-6 will go 12.9 bone stock.... putting out 325/345... That's what i'm talking about when i say raw power....
Don't want to step on any shoes.... I really like the imports too...... just not my thing anymore

 

yea now, i am out of the whole "imports are cooler than domestics" phase. now i want a BALANCED car. maybe not best of the one world but superior/decent in both worlds. i would hate to have a 500 hp car dat cant handle shit.

nor have a great handling car and get beaten by a civic si

my next car must be rwd or awd. factory forced induction or na rated hp of 250 hp or more(flywheel). manual transmission or sequential manual transmission (the TRUE manual w/o clutch... ie. smg of bmw or smt of toyota) none of this automatic in disguise bullshit.

although i like most of the newer "muscle" cars like WS-6, SS, Cobra, Z-06.... i just cant see myself in it. i mean, damn... i many asians do you see in a domestic muscle car? hahaha.

 

Exactly why I said those are the few that I do give respect to. Although that 12.9 is by FAR not an average time. More around mid to low 13's are more average am I right? Almost all conditions have to be perfect and you have to have a near perfect driver to pull off that 12.9 is my understanding, but it has been done. Also I dont believe the 12.9 was on street tires also neener neener neener

 

12.9 on street tires..... and the M6 tranny A-4 cars are a little slower producing about a 13.1... with perfect conditions of course.... and a lot of driver But they're still good numbers to throw out... ha
