mitsubishi eclipse vs pontiac firebird

[d1gps15]

Mitsubishi could Beat firebird~! exactly right..

Mitsubishi Galant GT0 > Firebird 60's

Mitsubishi Starion > Firebird 80's

Mitsubishi GTO 3000GT > Firebird 90's

for this right Challenge, which charaters match~!

[drew5611]

TOPMCAT you may be right about "1. all firebirds are not v6." however

the 0-60 time and 1/4 mile time of a 1997 Pontiac V-6 firebird.

0-60 is 7.2

1/4 mile is 15.5 (so much for low 15's)

1995 Eclipse GSX 0-60 time --6.4

1995 Eclipse GSX 1/4 mile time--- 14.9 (0.6 secs faster in 1/4 is HUGE!!)

@drew5611 birds are not small cars. my eclipse weighed around 3000lbs. my bird is 4200 empty. but as an ex eclipse owner i do agree they are fast. no matter what muscle guys say. dollar for dollar v 8. but my 2.0 4g63t would eat fox body mustangs like nothing all day. so u r right they arent ne thing 2 shake a stick @. as far as american cars being unrefined. isn't that what muscle cars r about? raw horespower and torque?

[drew5611]

Before you call someone an idiot, understand the argument at hand. I said what is so embarrassing is that these 4 cylinder cars are significantly faster than these V-6 camaros, fire birds and mustangs. Not one statement was made towards a V-8's performance against the 4 cylinders. Of course you will get more out of a V-8, look at how much bigger your displacement is.

[d1gps15]

HA HA is can faster Firebird.. Yes! it work~!

Let Mitsubishi vs Old firebird 1992.. is Mitsubsihi Starion~!

[1979NiteRider]

That's actually a nice Eclipse. I just can't stand a lot of them though. I frown upon many Eclipses. Especially the generic or tacky looking ones. And some people that drive them think they are mini Lambos which is lame.

Not bragging, but I have a 79 Trans Am. Believe me I turn heads and chicks flock. Eclipses are nice, but you aren't getting the feeling I have with my car, in performance and cosmetics. When I sit behind this car, it's a feeling a newer car can't deliver. Classic.

[mattamarine]

depends on wut kind of race

[drew5611]

All Fire Birds are V-6's. All Trans Ams are V-8's. Now with that straight, whats most embarrassing about this and it goes for V-6 mustangs and V-6 camaros, is that a 2 Liter four cylinder motor can wax all those 3.5 Liter V-6 or bigger motors. The Acura RSX-S, the new Civic Si, Eclipse GS-T or GSX, and probably even a Celica GT-S, all fall into this category. Bottom Line, Americans slap a huge motor in a little car and call it a sports car. Really its just a cheap, unrefined sports car.

[mattamarine]

true that

[topmcat]

k... soooooooooo....

1. all firebirds are not v6. v8 is an option with the firebird. and then there's the firebird formula which is the v8. not just T/As 2. it's an awd vs a rwd with a very light back end. on the street. of course it's gonna win a short distance race

3. this turbo eclipse stock runs high 14's low 15's... v8 birds run low 13's. hell, the v6 birds low 15's....

[05schumsa86]

@drew5611 ur a fucking idiot. i traded a 96 gsx 4 a 95 firebird formula with a 350 CI lt-1 v8 and t-56 6-speed. the clipse had 5gs invested and will not beat the bird with 700 invested. dollar for dollar v8. like someone else said u can make ne thing fast if u dump a shit ton of money into it. put all those upgrades that the eclipse had on that ls-1 bird and ull shit urself

[snake1921]

Most Fire birds are V8s. Only the base trim is the v6.

[eclipseinferno]

eclipses are nasty

[marylandterpslax]

people say chicks drive eclipses when i see so many vids on here of dudes driving them... and i love how you trash the eclipse on a vid where it straight rapes.

[33dano]

yes eclipse rules fuk yaa haterz

[fuseavk]

id like to know what the guy below me drives!? probably a miata.... or a new bug! lol the clipse is going to take the launch...but the bird im sure will compete in the long !! nice

[lavoiebrendan]

that eclipse is a POS and a chick magnet... wana know y because all you ever see is chicks driving them hahaha ricer fags

[15psi90GT]

haha il go ahead and agree with ya.

[ibanez860]

i dont know about that.. i drive an eclipse im a guy and chicks flock to me and my car. so i dont know what your driving but im sure your not turning heads faggot

[lavoiebrendan]

@ibanez860 How did you know that I was gay, I love the big cocks.

[jlhbabyx123]

not gonne lie that was a good race.

[krewkrazywhiteboy14]

Kicked that firebirds ass!!!

[MAFIX210]

you dumb fuck a fire bird is a 6 not an 8.

[theblueninja89]

are u trying to say firebirds dont come with an 8 cylinder? the more expensive models are V-8's. same thing as a camaro.

[fifastud13]

haha ur an idiot 90% of firebirds are 8s. bc if their 6's their pieces of shit and everyone knows that. i own an eclipse so dont be a bitch and write something stupid back like i know your planning on doing.. dont call someone a dumb fuck when perhaps you are the dumb fuck, as we all see it.

[aspottedcheetta]

that was awesome!

[transamspd2002]

what mods are on the GSX? I've raced one with intake, downpipe, full exhaust, upgraded clutch/flywheel, short shifter, and boost controller and I got him by 2 cars. I got SLP bolt ons and Mickey Thompson street radials in the rear.

[Deltayeseria]

AWD + turbo Rules

[mitsumivec4life]

Blow the doors off of that POS Firebird!

[twp35]

15-20 years from now the Firebird will be a collectable car and 95% of the imports will be some cheap toy made in china. Anything can fast if you throw enough money into it.

[1Zr1]

this vid is a bowl of lol that firebird driver could not drive for one second the DSM is AWD so no fuckin duh tis faster outa the hole, but i betcha my 1.72 60' 90 GT would surprise him =]

[karicornett]

Them japs know what there doing.

[scarification]

it reminds me of cat and mouse cuz you see the mouse pull outta the hole fast but the kat just does a huge leap and its all over

[scarification]

eclipse is way smaller so the turbo kicks in and you might get a head start no way a v4 turbo can beat a v8 LT1 turbo. NOT A CHANCE!

[graveplott47]

v8 sucks

[transamspd2002]

LOL, since when did they make V4 turbo eclipses. LOL

[LS1allday09]

wow and awd car won a 300 foot long race.woopty fucking doo. you ppl are all abunch of stupid people.let that race actually go a bit of distance and you all know what the result will be.

[666hades666]

That's a trans am for sure, because I can tell by the front fog lights. I also know that is a 98-02 LS1 because of its two vents behind the front wheel well. I wish they raced a little longer, that trans am would have pulled on them, but props on the mitsu regardless..

[strahinje]

tuner smoked that piece of shit if you want a muscle car then drive a 68'mustang thats real stuff.

[Tboninator]

A Mustang ain't even a muscle car.

[strahinje]

you truly are a stupid fuck

[570n3w411]

The 68 Mustang is a pony car, not a muscle car.

[uusitoonas]

BUT, BUT, BUT THIS CANNOT HAPPEN! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS?! HOW THE FUCK! :OO I'am gonna start crying

[compaqtest]

gm ford fucking junk shit bitch scam

[Lamminator55]

put that fucking pontiac away! go mitsubishi!

[SMlL3Y]

ok for all those confused a stock eclipse low is a 1.8 4 cylinder and maxed stock eclipse is a 3.0 6 cylinder u dont need a v8 in an eclipse not enf wait

[xXxTenjouxXx]

well the GT version is actually a 3.8L V-6 around 263 hp. and the regular GS is a 2.4L v-4 with around 164hp. but thats the stats of the latest models anyways

[shad0wpath]

i hope you are talking bout the 3gen Eclipse, The eclipse in the movie is a 2gen Eclipse with all wheel drive poweredb y 2.0litre turbo engine

, just to stop confusing you guys

[jsmallwood2007]

Was just about to blow by him lol what was that 600 ft with an awd of coures it got the holeshot...gotta love those kids and their hamsters on a wheel cars...what next turbo gokarts gonna be all the rage...

[AntonMortuspijan]

yeah, that's how a ricer must be...

beatin' an us-car! ;-)

[jokerinc3]

And thats a V8 it has the fog lamps, which only the T/As had. But that kid clearly doesnt know how to drive, his reaction is terrible and it took him forever to shift.

[NitrousOxide2nd]

hahahaha silly give me 1.5k and ill turn a 3.8 firebird to a TA look...

[shad0wpath]

even if it was a 3.8 still almost twice as much ;)

[windam32]

what ever happend to the good old quater mile? You dumbass street racers don't even get your imports outta second gear.

[Defender78]

... arent eclipses 4 cylinders at the least? My 1991 clipz is the 2.0 (ok, the 1.8L actually) and it has 4 cylz

[camthrop]

Three cylinder Eclipses?!? V8 Eclipses?!? WTF!!! Please don't start posting shit if you don't even know what you are talking about. That eclipse is AWD with the 4g63t 4 cylinder motor. With the right mods, these cars will destroy a lot of those v8 cars you guys love.

[mitsubishi6820]

eclipses are 4 cylinder turbo and that was a v8 firebird upgrades are evoIII 16g turbo, boost controller, greddy fmic, bov, intake, turbo back exhaust,forged internals, and upgraded fuel system

[playa12396]

thats a 3.8 v6 firebird

try racing the 5.7 v8 firebird

[kirbiak90ZX]

ya thats basically the vette in drag-poor mans corvette Lol but still awesome good ol' school american goodness: )

[TheTransporter69]

that was a trans am buddy 5.7 v8!!!!!

[NitrousOxide2nd]

that wasnt a v8

[Shawna0890]

my bad haha i meant that last comment to be directed towards stilts07 not persianpride..but anyway.

[Shawna0890]

The point is PERSIANPRIDECD that even if the eclipse is only a 3cylinder that firebird got owned haha..I'd like to see ANY firebird up against a V8 eclipse, either way ECLIPSEZ ARE AWESOME!

[andrewhakim]

TUNERS!!!

[stilts07]

naaaw shit, cause u fucken raced a little v6 firebird. Those are not even racing cars. Race an LT1 formula or trans am.

[persianpridecd]

so what? the eclipse is just a three cilinder!

already 2 times less than the firebird

[NitrousOxide2nd]

lol u just dont get it dont you... the weight of that firebird maybe is like 2 times that eclipse... so basically that v6 engine is working so hard to run that body...

[NitrousOxide2nd]

and that eclipse is AWD.... better take off...

[Sackofbud]

v8 homie

[TheTransporter69]

close to the same weight actully

[monster4g63]

whats done to it?

[99eclipsecholo]

i love eclipses

[MajicTrix527]

Nice kill, sean.
