RWD Corvette vs. AWD Eclipse GSX/Talon TSI Turbo

[d15bvtec98]

Not hating at but wasnt the corvette on spray also either way both are fast

[Jafromobile]

I haven't seen this video in 10 years. 'been looking for it everywhere!

[YamaMXS]

Eight billion comments hating on either side, yet both parties in the video were straight enough to respect each other. If it's fast, it's fast. Respect. The end.

[7150285]

the problem w/ AWD vehicle is they tend to have slower acceleration

[jaunisaboss]

@7150285 nooo awd tends to have faster acceleration

its not to many fwd or rwd cars that can beat awd cars off the line

[7150285]

@jaunisaboss nooo AWD will only have faster acceleration only the at beginning but RWD vehicles will eventually catchup and pass the AWD becuz AWD vehicle looses it's torque to all four wheels.

[jaunisaboss]

@7150285

true but if its making over 400 hp its would still move pretty good

[7150285]

@jaunisaboss that why all the NASCARS are RWD instead of FWD or AWD

[Arkemn]

@7150285 got one word for you man veyron

[7150285]

@Arkemn well...true, bugattyi veyron's AWD thou. but if they make a RWD bugatti veyron and let it drag race w/ a AWD bugatti......i think the RWD is gonna win....

[Arkemn]

@7150285

Well for a second the ssc aero was faster then they made the veyron supersport so it is a close race.

[7150285]

@Arkemn so which one is suppose to be the fastest rite now?? veyron's AWD and ssc aero is RWD.....btw, just know that AWD looses more powertrain RWD vehicles

[Arkemn]

@7150285 I know that the power loss is greater when comparing the 2. AWD is always at a disadvantage because 2 drive shafts and 2 transfer cases. can change a 12.75% coefficient into a 25.50% coefficient. twice as many moving parts create twice as much drag. and weight. and the other question is the veyron super sport is fastest at 267.85 and the ssc areo at 254.91. either way it is the areo with more hp 1,287 and the veyron with 1,184.

[7150285]

@Arkemn i think the american will wanna take the world fastest car title back by making a SSC aero super sports car in the future ;), so if power train lost more on AWD vehicles...then y do u think AWD vehicle will have faster acceleration than RWD vehicles?

[Arkemn]

@7150285 I agree with you i want the americans to have the fastest sports car in the world. because 800ftlb of torque front and rear is better than 1000 at the rear. it's like saying that 2 horses that are a little bigger can pull a stage coach faster than 4 horses that work together.

[ajlod934893]

Entertaining race. I have high respect for corvette's, but I have respect for Talon TSi's/Eclipse GSX's too. Fuck everyone saying "imports suck." Yea I buy American too, but show respect when its deserved.

[LeTtHeBaSsDroP]

hey man tell that vette my bud paul will take him with his awd dsm.... look at his vids just search gstracer... he races my bud dan and dans car dyno was like 520hp and paul smokes him.

[wildstar43]

No offense probably not, that Corvette had the Ligenfelter package. "Ligenfelter Engineering" is know for modifing engines starting at 650 hp and up, way up.

[LeTtHeBaSsDroP]

well idk it would be close........if he didnt win...... paul's car has 675+ hp at the wheels AWD compound turbo system a turbonetics 60-1 and a big 16g..... running 45psi... on full built motor and drive tran.... it would be a good race.....

[wildstar43]

45psi?? That is very high and with that set up. You are right it will be a very good race indeed.

[LeTtHeBaSsDroP]

yeah like from a roll the vette might get him.......but throught the quarter i think the awd is a huge advantage.......but yeah good race for sure....

[MUGENKINGU]

Well fuckin' get you at the hole! BITCH!

[4g63walkedyou]

LOL @ the "fuck import" comments.  That DSM is probably more american than your chevy.

[WhatsaSpeedLimit]

RWD vette as opposed to all the FWD ones roaming the streets out there.

[LeTtHeBaSsDroP]

lol nice one...... smart ass lol jk funny tho...

[CobArchEnemy406]

Love this video. fuck imports. and talons. ive been born bred and GM fed since day one.

[StealthNinjaX2]

DSM is American, its Diamond Star Motors....lol

[TuQwik4u]

The body is American the motor is not

[1SCB]

the 420a in the rs/gs is chrysler

[Xiphos572]

"holyshit!" "damn!!"

LOL

[supraturboLBJ]

I love this video that corvette just sounds like sex on the beach with jessica buel

[ibanezrg320fm]

wow! I love your comment! so awesome! This video is the tits though...

[supraturboLBJ]

LOL yeah this vid rocks

[eklypss19]

[Aztech355]

We will see what the 91 MR2 Turbo can do.

[Americanmuscle1969]

[dgk990]

haha..."we'll rip you out of the hole"....nott :P

the guy in the vette was half gas, then boom!!!

[MRGr33n3]

haha..these guys are all happy they got to race a vette....

[mallah656]

[wody21]

[Aztech355]

LMAO!!

[wody21]

BOth cars are AWESOME I love the Corettes, and awd-s eclipses! Thiss eclips is BAD too!:D:D Very good vid 5*!:D

[stephenBquick]

*I think he's scared* RRRAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! *holy shit*

[tjbraun1]

He looked scared, from behind anyway...lol

[mazda6tuner99]

that was funny they were like holy shit at the same time.

[Aztech355]

Yeah LOL

[mazda6tuner99]

funny as hell

[codyz71]

Typical dumb ricer jumps before 3.

[jinglemyway]

dsm takes the launch of awd but sooner it will get smoke of the hight output v8 puts out. try it from a roll and that corvette is lighting fast.nice race.

[JJGerardo]

and again, another fast corvette, i luv them.

[voiceKoil731]

Thats great, both nice!

[jemeier88]

haha what you expect?

[junior0983]

wow thats nice. I've seen a vette flyin through downtown chicago he was movin.

[gtimark5]

thats a doug ripple motorsports vette. nasty

[TheIpodClassicer]

wait is that guy driving a pink corvette or white or silver and dude he beat ur ass and u guys say holy shot a whole lot

[elqueesnebuloso]

well that was a good race dude put a little more power in that dsm you will defenetly have a bad ass car later.

[ShadowHunter500]

i think he's scared...HOLY SHIT!...lol

that was amazing

[Eric2cool]

loved his reaction

[feerof]

that was pretty good haha interesting haha

[Aozora82]

Apples and oranges. If you want to be realistic compare the Vette to a Viper, Ferarri or any other supercar. Now the Vette in this video is a c5, you can pick up a base 97 c5 for 11,710 according to Edmunds PP. The base on the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX/TSI is 6,352 PP. (A bit of a far-cry from 50x the price) Which would you rather mod? Really a no brainer. The Small block v8 LS1 is capable of more power. Lingenfelter quotes a price of 7,550 for the c5 LS1 5.7L 430bhp package.

[pestfolife]

That is a badass vette but to set the record straight... The DSM is a US built car.. 2.0 dohc vs a fucking modded ls6, of course the vettes going to win you dumbasses the vette is worth 50+ times and even though he jumped he held on to the lead but like any other high end car the vette pulled right back. learn your facts before you dis a vehicle that is capable of 1000 awhp out of a 4 cyl with less the cost of a stock vette

[3rdSuspension]

To set YOUR record straight:

Why is it that people always come up with thisbull shit of: "Oh a 4cyl is capable of 1000hp"

Are you aware that Small V8's are capable of three times that power? So why are you BITCHING about a fucking 4 banger and 1000hp.

[Aozora82]

Give me a c5 Corvette over some Mitsubishi ricer with a gay spoiler and coffee can exhaust any day. Especially for only 5k more.

[indestructible306]

true....and stay away from engine problems....dsms just dont last that long compared to a modified v8 ford or chevy......hey im not saying they are slow but looking at it straight a 4 banger car without a turbo is a piece of shit...they need turbos to keep up/beat a v8 engine....cant wait to get my DSS 306 stroker wich is gonna be puting me in the high 10'S with no power adders..

[RADIOFLYER27X]

heyy the dsm are not shit I got a 300OGT STEALTH and its got 200000 miles on it and yeah if you don't take care of them then yeah they turn in to shit but they can last. and stroking a motor is a power adder if you put in better parts then stock and machine your parts .any whys my car is better on gas and still put out high power so NOW WHATTTTTTT

[ls1maro99]

whats a 3000 gt stealth? its either a 3000gt or a stealth...

[KroniKKidZ28]

better gas milage using premium? when v8's can run on 87? your still a pretender to the throne. American Muscle will always be king of the road.

[anime891]

Ignorant fool.

[KroniKKidZ28]

the truth hurts

[anime891]

Your opinion doesn't hurt anyone.

[KroniKKidZ28]

your devotion to rice burners is only hurting yourself

[anime891]

Devotion? I love American muscle and Import because they both have the potential to become very good cars. It is your ignorant moronic self that sees American muscle as better than anything which it isn't. Either your mind isn't ready to think outside the box or you're just plain ignorant and retarded to see outside it.

[KroniKKidZ28]

imports may have potential but muscle cars are already very good cars. I understand the uses of turbos and the econical value of a four cylinder engine, but to go through and mod everything just to race and try to be a badass, when for the same money you could get a decent v8 car... and that was my argument, when someone mods a ricer that way, most of them always go chasing after the muscle, but no amount of boost, gay spoiler, or fart can can take away from the muscle car even if they beat it

[ls1maro99]

your getting a well build import confused with a ricer... FYI ANYTHING can be rice... even a muscle car.. and on another note boost is a irrelevant term which means nothing... air flow (lbs/min) is what counts...

[Aztech355]

Far from it.

[Aztech355]

If you have an import tuner such as a Silvia or a Skyline, there is nothing to be hurt about. My devotion is to cars that are capable of something called "Corners".

[shomo172]

Yeah cuz everyone racing around town has a professionally built race track to challange people too. Get real. Anytime I've ever wished I had a really fast car, there was no corners.

[xtina2229]

i like 3000gt vr4 better

[ls1maro99]

of course 4 cylinders need boost or other power adders to keep up with a v8 there quite a bit of displacement differences...but the 4g63 are very nice engine when well build, a lot of them are seeing over 1000whp..out of a 4 cylinder thats pretty fuckin good.. and john shepard has an awd talon that is running 7.70's in the quarter mile that is still a small 4 cylinder... that is fuckin fast!

[HAROGTI]

thats not a lingenfelter hell no it not!!!! that a regular z06 fixed up, lingenfelter runs 9's stock that car look more like a low 11 second car and with a bettter driver !

[downhillrac3r]

its a fuckin lingenfelter dicklips

[HAROGTI]

i will fuck your mom if yyou talk like you know me pussy lips. that is not a lingenfelter you dumfuck do your research better that thing is not as fast as a lingenfelter.

[YearOfTheDog82]

Thats not a Z06 dicklips, its a C5. The Z06 does not have flip up headlamps

[Kiraina]

lol there was a C5 Zo6. but this isnt one of them. the rear glass is the easyest way to tell them apart. the C5 Zo6's rear class jut almost strait down from the roof, unlike this ones long slope.

[wildstar43]

This is always a good example of these import people looking to start something with an american car that is much more powerful + aftermarket parts. They strap on a turbo to a 4 cyl. or 6 cyl. imports and think they can take on the world. Way to go Vette!!!

[therealderrickman]

ran out of gas the vette is the only supercar that dosent have a gas guzler tax and probly has better gas milage than the import

[Ro240SXswapconfused]

Who says its a lingenfelter? Z51 is a suspension package. Also, LS1 and LS6 vettes run flat 13 seconds or 12s with light mods FOOL. ^_^

[theking13249]

badass vette, dumbass bitches in a gay talon

[indianmaluji]

he proly ran out of gas with that 3 pulls.

[slamcam]

cheatin at the start and still lost haha

[Bluesplayer78]

Too bad you did'nt launch it man! Lol!

[Bluesplayer78]

The vette is one of the best cars in the world and by far my favorite.

[BH308233]

obviously at the end the vette was having some fun u can tell from the beginning the talon never had a chance in hell

[bampro1234]

this guy must not know who lingenfelter was

[iwsuasin]

I love it when he tries to make excuses at the end.

[ilovefastcarslots]

err he didnt launch it, the corvette got the launch

[only1chaos]

cant you all bitches see that its a 4 cylinder rice car only? why r u guys comparing to a V8 or V10? any v6 import will definitely kill an american car

[torocco777]

WRONG!!!

[juggalo1021]

your a dumbass.

[shark419]

a vette is a vette!

[StreetLethalRacing]

That was a HORRIBLE 60-foot for the Corvette! All he did was mash on it, spin the tires, hope for the best, while trying to reel him in. That wasn't a race, that was a travesty! Heh, a "low" 13 second DSM beats an "11" second Corvette (w/slicks) in the 60-foot on the street. Yeah, umm, just because the DRIVER of that vette doesn't know HOW TO LAUNCH, doesn't make the DSM a better car.... :rolleyes:

[cheekslayer]

i dont think he had to worry about JUST MAHSIN' IT against a fall-apart blow-up your ride like that. It's about money and that all wheel drive tractor was outgunned to the highest degree...Methix it was a setup...

[conor2479]

hahahah i think hes scared....corvette blows past

[death2icp]

were they serious running him or just having fun?

[xthirty888x]

thats what i just said you pay for the vette name. who the hell are you calling an import kid. i own an 06 mustang and 05 STi and a really like the STi better its a hell of a lot more fun to drive and it beats it in a drag. but you cant beat the sound of a V8

[elsolrules]

you import kids are funny, you're seriously retarded.

[death2icp]

FYI a DSM isn't an importit was built in new mexico so its technically a domestic w/ a mitusbishi drivetrain and engine talons eclipses and lasers wre all built along side each other from 89-99

[ukchay]

Dude thats what I've been saying forever! All these little rice boys argue with me. You speak the truth. Look at this other video (viper vs talon) to see the fude I have had to deal with and everyone telling me I'm full of shit. Set them straight.

[estisfatuus]

"I think he's scared..."

"Holy Shit!!!"

That's hilarious. You can here their entire tone change when that thing starts melting the tires from a roll.

[freekingrican]

Fuck I would love to see all those EVO kids talk shit about this vette.  OMFG

[xthirty888x]

you can make evos just as fast with less money all you do is pay the the vette name

[freekingrican]

Yeah but roll to club Abyss in the Evo or the Vette and see. Don't get me wrong Evo has balls but its not and never will be a Vette. Like a Vette will never be a Lambo or Ferrari. See everything has its place. You can beat the Vette all day long in the street but when it comes down to it. Vette is a mans car where Evo's are a like the cereal Trix are for kids

[SagaraSouske]

love this video

[1loudz28]

like a raped ape. american muscle ftw

[adiokid13]

yeh dude fuck you and your mustang my ZO6 would dirty work your piece of shit mustang ford sucks

[bboyjay69]

304 teddy

dont ever bring up a corny

Ford Crustang in a Corvette video

crustangs are lame and slow 8cyl cars sadly

[304teddy]

after i smoke you you in my stang ill run over you in my truck and be home in time for some possum n taters.

[roflcopter231]

wow u got him out of the hole man to bad you couldnt keep it cause TSI's are fucking slow ricers.

[Adriankat]

ricers...

[curtomic7]

i love their excuses, "to bad i didnt launch it", what the fuck? what a dumbass, what is it with ricers? its like everybody who went to see the fast and the furious who owned a civic or some other ricer was like, holy shit, i own a race car.

[mcromance1]

lol don't be mad because you have no place in society. fucking nigger, or chink whatever the hell you are.

[blacklabel504]

he supports ricers, he's probably a gook lol

[imradkelso]

BLCKCLDCTD95, you are retarded DSMs aren't ricers.

[csquirrel]

...bah, and the GSX totally launched on 2

[csquirrel]

GOOD GOD THAT 'VETTE IS A MONSTER!

[BLCKCLDCTD95]

"you ran that boy hard.." PSSSSSSTTTT they left on 2... with an boosted AWD... and that vette still smoked his ass.. FUCK RICERS! worthless peices of SHIT..

[phlipfreq]

Most of these comments are true. BUT for a car like a 90-94 dsm to get disrespected over a 99 vette with 526 RWHP & 498 RWTQ it all becomes envy over the fact that the little 2.0 4cyl was even that close to a 7.0 8cyl;P

[adiokid13]

A modified eclipes will not smoke my corvette

[S102001]

NO 4 banger will enough said

[conceptmk3]

got his ass handed to ?

look at the fucken price diffrence between the cars you could get the vette or moify the eclipse and smoke that vette

[mcromance1]

that could have been a lingenfelter vette, i don't know.

[Krashemkid]

It's not a Lingenfelter corvette, If it was it would say Lingenfelter on the side instead of Z51R.

[mrkbke]

you all is missing the point,competition is good,it makes everybody work harder to get a little faster.

[JMRBooSt]

That vette is not stock

[djblaze1190]

WOW EVEN WITH THAT BULLSHIT 1 2 THREEEE this ricer got owned. "we got AWD" yeah and u still got ur ass handed to you!

[mcromance1]

lol I like when he said "I think he's fuckin scared", then the vette just took off lol. Scared them shitless >:)

[360fanboy86]

ya im with you on that one i could not stop laughing from when he said the vet was scared and got shited on right there

[john5215]

i own a 97 eclipse gsx and i could have told you that a sock corvette from the same year with the LT1 motor could have done the same thing

[vipeme1]

lol you're an idiot

[adiorider13]

Your just mad cause that corvette kicked that cars ass.

[adiorider13]

Fuck you asshole my corvette would smoke a import.

[19Camaro94]

now that is what im talkin about! AMERICAN MUSCLE BABY!!!!! STOMPIN THE SHIT OUTTA THOSE IMPORTS!!!

[adiorider13]

Yes I do.

[adiorider13]

I do have a corvette. Mybad about the other car.

[domsrule1]

You lying sac of shit. You don't own and drive a Z06. Keep dreaming.

[ph3n0ms]

well.. what does the dsm cost and what does the corvette cost? it's like a 1 to 7 ratio

[adiorider13]

A eclipse and a talon are two different things you stupid fuck.I like C6 ZO6 corvettes and I own one it's a 07' and it's got a twin turbo kit with 693 hp.

[domsrule1]

You're the one who's stupid you ignorant dumbass. Don't you know the Mitsubishi Eclipse Gsx and Eagle Talon Tsi were built in the nineties and were turbocharged and had AWD. They have the same engine, supension, framework, etc. The Camaro Z28 and the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am are mechanically the same. The difference is the name and design. The Mitsu 3000GT VR4 and the Dodge Stealth R/T turbo are mechanically identical to each other. I guess you're too ignorant to know all that.

[shukiikuhs]

Post pics of your Z06 or you don't own one.

[domsrule1]

And you don't drive and definately don't own a 2007 Z06 you lying sac of....!

[SupaSpowt]

LOL- LMAO!! DIE CAST DONT COUNT!!

[john5215]

i own an eclipse gsx and it is the same you jack ass

look at the pic and the motor before you talk

[vipeme1]

really? or are you tlaking out of your ass, lol.

You have pretty poor grammar for a person who could afford a car that nice.

I doubt a twin turbo kit would have that little power.

[AlphaOmega503]

corvettes the fastest, challenge if you think your ready, lol.

[demariojason]

where are all the "american muscle sucks" guys at?

They can't stand this video!!

[Captain1soapy1dick]

What where those little kid bitches thinking

[aSiAnPeRsWaZiAn]

PWND!

[blizmop]

Too bad the GSX/TSi launched way before 3

[integ2nv]

this Corvette is my hero
