99 Eclipse GSX VS Mustang Cobra SVT

[lote1234567891011]

240p ....we meet again

[TheOmartennis]

Omg! I've seen this same person in two videos and he can't get a good launch!! Need a better driver to handle a gsx

[flamebo7053666]

If you watch it carefully the eclipse got off the line about the same as the mustang, it just didn't have enough balls.

[SuperStankful]

@flamebo7053666 the gsx is awd, the mustang is rwd.

that = a huge advantage for the eclipse off the line.

my guess is that car was actually a gst.

[95gt00d]

COBRA!!! nuff said!

[kingagans91]

whoever was driving the eclipse is slow to get off the line if he would of been faster he would of prolly had him

[Jafromobile]

The DSM backed up and unloaded his gears. Shouldn't have done that without re-staging. Stang ripped him out of the hole as a result. Lucky he didn't break anything.

[benspilk900]

Gawd thats a beautiful sounding supercharger on that cobra, pretty impressive that the gsx kept up too.

[TheTNSmw2]

john shepherd talon tsi 7.70@191mph no nitrous street legal 4 cyl enough said

[mikescharger6983]

@TheTNSmw2 Brent Rau's 99 eclipse runs 6.7's.

[xsboost25psi]

Eclipse driver texting friend: "Yea, I'm about to race this mustang. oops, light's green. ttyl."

[bestlude]

sick videos, the GSX has the potential though trust me, i made my 97 Gst pretty fast on low boost.. but AWD is killer... I think the the driver mod will help to, no offence or anything but im sure you have gotten better at launching it by now, its just the reaction time because it seems that the GSX launches good , not on time though.. good video

[DSMeclipsegst]

wow GSX driver fail wake up at light next time dude

[losercust]

cheer up eclipse, you'll win one. 

[dsm92eclipsegsx13]

Love the way that supercharger sounds. So bad ass. But I'm still with Team Eclipse. GO DSM!

[anonymous6366]

yeah the gsx had a bad start it would have been a really close race if not

[biggboy73]

he did a lot better racing that red vette cobra just to much for him.

[flowback101]

GSX had a real bad start, it should have put that stang in the hole for sure..

[ralatorre9]

@flowback101 . . . Are you having sex with your eye sockets?. . Cobra is a completely different level than an eclipse. . lol silly ricer :)

[arod732]

If they had the same reaction time the eclipse wouldve smoked it. I've risen on both and the eclipse is way faster and accels better. It was all luck

[drew936]

@Explicit000 Eclipses arent even imports. They're made in the U.S. Pure DSM power.

[2004svtterminator]

@drew936 what power

[afroman655]

@drew936

hell yea dude there made an hour from where i live. over in Normal, Illinois

[elaztecapecador]

They should of had a woman driving the Eclipse sense they have better reaction time then us men. But then again it would be a woman driving, who knows what would happen if she got to drive. JK.

[99b16honda1]

Looks like stock against stock. Mustang had a better reaction time and pulled the Eclipse the whole way.

[1Speedemon636]

Because the person driving the eclipse obviously does not know how to drag.

[99b16honda1]

Good driver in the Mustang. Fast reaction time.

[elmorelias]

who the fuck is driving this eclipse this guy cant drive for shit his reaction time is too slow

[synthetekgsx]

That 2wd car was running 11s and was kicked off the track after that for being too fast to run at the street legals.

[86306fox]

@synthetekgsx why did they kick him out if its a street legal class u should be able to run what you can as long as you can pass a dot inspection theres guys over here runin eights in the quarter who are street legal

[synthetekgsx]

@86306fox 10-Second Rule

There is a 10-second flat ET rule. No cars quicker than 10 seconds will be allowed. (If you need an NHRA Competition License to drive your car at an NHRA Drag Strip, it is too quick for Auto Club Dragway during a Street Legal event.)

[getalife04]

@synthetekgsx That an also anything faster than a 10 requires a cage and a chute if I remember correctly. I know in Oklahoma where I am if you run in the 11's you have to have at least a roll bar so I can't run my WRX at the track anymore lol. I just have to get a roll bar, I will once I do more to my car since I know what it runs now lol.

[Sk8FalIen]

the gsx sucks

[SuperTroker]

the dude whos driving the eclipse reaction time is so fucking horrible thats why he's loosing because he doesn't know how to drive

[treblruh]

keep telling yourself that lol

[1Speedemon636]

SuperTroker is right. My mom pulls off from stop lights in her van faster than the dude driving the Eclipse

[202WRX]

lmfao the mustang driver destroyed buddies reaction time

[voltiger19]

but its a nice ass car tho lol i gotta say i love them GSX's

[voltiger19]

damn man the kid in the GSX needs to learn how to launch...he probably would have won

[BassRacerx]

the cobera treed him but it might have won anyways the cobera had a VERY nice launch no wheelspin

[nfs5676]

WTF it launches like an automatic but maybe its not coz its a GSX

[ajsvw9]

man you HAVE to learn how to launch the car. . NO way anyone should pull out in front of you. ..

[hesdatguy]

cobra 8=======) (((eclipse

[Coixxman]

RWD has the advantage here

[EvolutionVlllMR]

no awd should have shit on it

[DODODOK]

SVT TERMI COBRA FTMFGDW

[rINGbOOSIE]

for the mother fucking god dman win?

[DODODOK]

Oh yea!

[SpydermanGST]

Dude, did you race anything that had less than 8 cylinders? Looks like all you raced were V8's.

[greene210]

nice i have a 97 spyder im changing out the axle and completely redoing the car to make it one of the few gsx spyders i cant wait to see what it can do

[ac3Dision]

obviously the FR traction has better balance, grip and controlability than FF.

[nisman93]

they'll beat any car u put up against it.

[bassxchill]

the gsx was slow getting off the line. better reaction time might have changed the outcome of that pull

[nisman93]

yeah cause nismo is the shit

[nisman93]

Nissans  wouldnt have lost.

[nisman93]

Thats what happens when u drive a mitsu-bitchshi, u lose races, how da hell u lose to a mustang a pony lol. A nissan would'nt lose.

[yoichi122]

this eclipse is a discrace to DSM

[nisman93]

mitsu- bitchshis r slow u kno what DSM stand for DAM SLOW MOTORS.lol

[yoichi122]

hahahahaha you are a real dumb fuck aren't you rofl. god made turbo lag to give v8's a chance. ever heard of john shepheard?? well i'd like to see your little mustank go up against his eclipse

[nisman93]

Stupid ass clown ima nissan man.WTF i look like drivin a mustang a fuckin pony i drive real cars. Dont get mad cause the eclipes got smoked . When u find a car that can beat that shity mustang then TAlk

[yoichi122]

i'm not mad about this eclipse gettin beat...i just said this one is a discrace. i've got an eclipse that runs low high 8's/low 9's. so before you go talkin shit make sure you got your facts straight. and i apologize for insulting you by saying that you have a mustang

[RubberDuckieXcore]

"low high 8's/low 9's" maybe in the 1/8 mile

[nisman93]

Thats cause who ever was in the 350z didnt know what they was doin, plus im quite sure they let u win

[yoichi122]

the one i have right now runs low 8's in an 8th. i used to have one that ran 9.6 in a quarter mile bitch. but i'm not gonna dog on nissans cuz i would love to have a s14 or skyline r34

[RubberDuckieXcore]

i bet my life that YOU never owned a 9 sec eclipse...

im very familiar with all the fast dsm's,

and i know that there is only a handful of them running 9's...

lets see some proof of your old 9 second beast...pics, vids, timeslips, anything!!!

[yoichi122]

i'm gonna be straight with you i blew the engine which is why i don't have it anymore. and nope no pics or vids

[RubberDuckieXcore]

oh allright

that sux dude, i probably cry if my built block that cost me a dick load of cash, blew up on me...

some people dont relize how fast a 9 second pass really is...

and for a heavy 4 cylinder eclipse to beak into the nines is increadible!!

[itsmeek]

What were your mods? What was your trap time and 60ft.

[RubberDuckieXcore]

fyi i walked my sisters boyfriends 350z in my eclipse gsx...

soon after he sold that overpriced pos and bought a truck lol

[sk8rvideos101]

ok i want a 99 mustang my friend wants a 99 eclipse witch one do u think would win just on stock any one get back to me

[metallmayhem]

the mustang got the jump and kept that 2 car lead. most compact v6 vs v8s it's usualy driver to driver not car to car. v6s vs an I4, the v6 has same power and more tourque.

[mxracer578]

goodbye ricers!!!!!!!!!!!

[BradMofuckinHardin]

Man gsx dude sucks ass, he should have beat him off the line. No clue bout the top end part but he should have whipped his ass off the line.

[ShevardnadzeII]

Mustang guy has a better reaction.

[FenixTX717]

actually it's all about 1/4 mile time. . .the eclipse could have sat there as long as he wanted at the starting line and still had a better time than the mustang. though we won't ever know what the times were for both

[lem0n2lime]

Don't make excuses for the Eclipse's bad start. It's all about the reaction time. And that Mustang driver has it.

[EXPLICIT000]

i hate how every video i go to that has an import vs a muscle car theres always gay ass people who like to say shit like ooh damn that beast ass muscle car whooped that piece of shit japenese car ooh shit i hate imports imports are for pussys when like all of those people dont have expierience with both cars if you did you wouldnt be talking all this shit. the GSX got a bad start i think top end it would have won

[joeschmoemmvii]

I've had experience with both, and I'd pick the muscle car over the import any day of the week.

[rctack]

I like imports, but I like muscle too. I like older muscle as opposed to the new though. Every pimple faced high school fuck with daddy's 90s or fox body mustang thinks they're fast until they get raped by my gsx.

[ralatorre9]

@EXPLICIT000 The Eclipse would have won MOST DEF!. . If the GT ran out of gas. . .

[ITRIEDEL]

@EXPLICIT000 altho i agree with the first statement, it would not of won against a 03-04 svt cobra u see here... that had a decent driver.. i use to own a 1g 16g

[jkonn7]

@EXPLICIT000 The funny thing is... Eclipses were made in America. People that call them imports are fucking retarted

[mustang517]

@jkonn7 they werent even sold in japan, they were marketed for americans and euros

[FSXPilot246]

@EXPLICIT000 You are on crack... There is no way on this green earth that a fucking eclipse is going to beat a 5.4 liter supercharged terminator cobra mustang on top end.. what the fuck is the world coming to..

[bloodieduckies]

@FSXPilot246 very ignorant comment,So a mid 7's eclipse just wont due?Thats what shepard traps,Maybe you should take your own advise and put the brillow down,Your comment is somthing I would expect from someone that has no knowledge on the subject that hasnt even a drivers license yet.

[cobaltxSS]

@FSXPilot246 haha, the cobra has a 4.6L, the gt500 has the 5.4L

[cobaltxSS]

@FSXPilot246 the cobra has a 4,6L. the gt500 has the 5.4L

[tommyp33333]

@cobaltxSS damn that guys a dumbass

[skatinnaner]

@FSXPilot246 dude are u high? lol the terminator mustang cobra came with a 4.6l v8 not a 5.4 a 5.4 is a truck motor lol maybe in the brand new mustangs but still doubt it haha the terminator is a 4.6l v8 with a kenne bell 2.1L supercharger thats it

[jb2zero0six5]

@EXPLICIT000 And the Eclipse IS NOT an import.

[chinathatswhereitis]

@jb2zero0six5 how the fuck is the eclipse not an import? are you fucking retarded? It is a japanese car so you tell me how thats not an import.

[jb2zero0six5]

@chinathatswhereitis Just fucking look up where 1g and 2g DSM's were made... Normal, IL. USA. Do at least some research before you flame on.

[pingapeluapr]

@jb2zero0six5

Yep and they have Neon engine to... i had one and it sucked compared to the japanese version.

[XxTr0llKingxX]

@jb2zero0six5 It may have been manufactured in USA, but all the parts where made in Japan, hense making it an import... derp :P.

[jb2zero0six5]

@XxTr0llKingxX Alright, no different than most cars today, including "domestics."

[dalesocks]

@XxTr0llKingxX Yes they also imported every part by boat. Including the tires lol

[chinathatswhereitis]

@jb2zero0six5 i dont give a fuck where they are made. they make hondas in the united states. are you gonna tell me a honda isn't an import next? or maybe audi isn't an import? i know where they were made dumbass.

[xSHATiN]

@jb2zero0six5 Your an idiot... Yea the word "Mitsubishi" is in the English dictionary.

[jb2zero0six5]

@xSHATiN Did I say it was? No. What's your point here? I at least know where my car is built.

[arios211]

@EXPLICIT000 Yeah I agree with you, Japanese cars are for pussies. Getting a bad start is part of the race, you snooze you lose!

[233880003]

i belive american cars are garbage.... i even seen some crappy honda Civic Hatch Kick a Dodge vipers and mustangs ass

[metallmayhem]

yea.. ok... where?

[233880003]

where do you think ? in your pants... youtube it

[PlatniumProductions]

bad launch on the gsx's part. i am sorry but that all wheel drive should of hooked up better than that.

[dsmx587]

another fine example of american muscle

[04kbcobra]

what is that a stock cobra vs a fully bulit gsx cobra was no where near gettin beat ill race any import n play whit him imports are garbage period

[turbodsm7]

You are a sad sad ignorant man.

[yoichi122]

hahahahahahaha wow...you are officially one of the most ignorant people i've ever read a commetn from

[nisman93]

Nissan would have wooped that mustang ass with ease.

[yoindude1234]

somebodies a little over confident about nissans ha

[scoby41]

tool. altimas are ghey.

[dylanlamb1]

ha

Dont forget a toyota supra

[callofdutyscout32]

at Rod Run, one of the biggest V8 gatherings in the nation in gatlinburg tennessee, a gsx was driving the strip when a cobra and a bunch of his stang buddies start to laugh and taunt him..he smiles shakes his head. from a 20 mph roll the cobra takes off, at the same time you her pow pow pow from the gsx antilag and in a blink of an eye he catches..then passes the stangs (who are at full throttle)waving while he does it. it put a smile on my face :)

[Praylodk]

Bro the Rod Run is in pigeon forge tennessee.

But yeah ive seen some badass tuners there woopin some v8 ass. Buttt, most of the v8's there will tap dat ricer ass. ha.

Tuners are like periods, every pussy has one.

[HippieHunta]

dude, this dsm guy spent likely 1/7th of the price of the stang for his car, launched like shit, and didnt lose by much

[Reavoltion]

@HippieHunta

Last time I checked, A Loss is a Loss weather its by .1 second or 1 second or 10 seconds.

[SpankyWhore]

@Reavoltion Thats something any real racer would say huh.. like vin diesel :p hahaha im jst being a moron!

[Rockit181]

@HippieHunta Nice comment Martino

[nitramqe5]

esta bien pendejo el conductor del eclipse gsx no sabe arrancarr jajajaja

[hvillecobalt]

The GSX's reaction is just really off in these vids.

[patrickpl94]

the svt had a really good reaction time, and the eclipse just couldnt deal with it.

[gsx2gboostin]

Everyones sayin how the eclipse has to have work to keep up wit the cobra....wat do u expect when the cobras motor is twice the size cmon now, v8 vs 4banger. im for both cars i own a 95 gsx with a forced perf. turbo n im puttin down 430whp @ 28psi n thats on a stock block. my buddy has a 04 cobra which he just added a smaller pulley to n is gettin tuned. both r amazing cars regardless of who will win stock vs modded or stock vs stock.

[rcflem]

"AWD is not going to compinsate for that. No Offense"

From a dig, it definitely does compensate for a lot. I'm no ricer apologist but to say that AWD doesn't impact a drag race from anything but a roll is nonsense.

That race would have been much closer if the Eclipse driver knew what he was doing.

P.S. Cobras aren't all that awesome. They're making Buicks with more horsepower straight from the factory.

[mrjesuschrist2u]

AWD is very overrated sure it helps but still ppl overestimate it

oh and yeah they are that awesome those cars are z06 killerz for 2/3 the price atleast...sure everyone is in the hp race now but 4 yrs ago it was king and you know wat it still makes kills ....AWD won;t compensate to much but a nice turbo will aski the evo and subie drivers

[StandardRacing]

Really which Buicks are making over 400hp from the factory?

[RayB937]

1970 Buick GSX

[NolinMcalister]

wtf its an 03 cobra i dont know what you are arguing about. that eclipse might beat my moded gt MABEY but its an 03 cobra its one of the most powerfull cars ford has ever put out and AWD is not going to compinsate for that. No Offense

[evilturbo]

GSX driver SUCK!!!

[uktradgedy]

Are you kidding me? Tricked out? I love mustangs, but a turbo DSM is the import version of a mustang.. goes just fast for cheap and breaks just as often.

[Must2Stang]

Dont matter...You need that power to keep up to the stang. Weather you like it or not. Its the truth. I like some Imports but I am a Stang Guy.

[shadowdreamzk20]

u mustve fell asleep at the light lol

[shadowdreamzk20]

u mustve fell asleep at the light lol

[saculreklaw]

SOLID REAR AXLE

[Accordsir1]

what are the numbers?

[adam22686]

yea ive seen a few vids of this car racing i like the GSX but the driver doesnt know how to push it off the line... GSX are very fast off the line and should have beaten the mustang at least at launch

[pyaethiha]

i agree with u on that.

[Must2Stang]

The Cobra Stangs are a lil rough off the line. For some reason the 40th anniversary and 35th anniversary stangs are better off the line.

The Eclipse woulda lost no matter what.

[dsm4gsus]

I disagree with you there. The GSX's have all wheel drive. If that driver knew how to start, he would have been ahead the entire time.

[Must2Stang]

I disagree. I've Seen all Wheel Drive cars LOSE to stangs and other American Muscle cars. ( REAL CARS DONT POWER THE FRONT TIRES...THEY LIFT EM )

[dsm4gsus]

That has nothing to do with this race. From this video, it looks like the eclipse was starting to gain on the ford at the end. And if he would of had a better start, he would have had him, regardless of what you have seen before.

[Must2Stang]

ha ha Its funny because it takes an Eclipes to be tricked out to really stand a chance against a stang....Hey dont be mad at me...Im just layin out the FACTS.

[prevwan]

lol it doesnt take an exlipse to be tricked out to really stand a chance against a stang.... ive got a eagle talon same as an eclipse its 93 front wheel drive (wish it was awd) with single turbo with only upgraded exhaust i can beat mustangs easily.... know facts before speakin ur narrow minded garbage i mean do you even own either car?

[xtina2229]

i have a 1996 eclipse and i would trade it for a talon tsi anytime

[raredesign]

understood that dsm's are good, but how can you generically state that you can "beat mustangs"? There are as many flavors and possibilities of mustangs as there are laughs being made at that statement.

[Da85prince]

It depends on wat stang youre talking about the cobra in the vid is the stock supercharged & with a couple minor adjustments I don think youre eagle will beat it!

[Iskarn]

Yeah, might've had a better chance of winning with a better launch. GSX's are known for their insane launches, rev it up high, its an AWD for christ's sake.

[hubz08]

Track is probably to tacky. You either want to rev and spin or to burn the clutch

[YAHTEC]

I guess you didn't hear him bouncing off the launch limiter and the Cobra sounds stock to me! Modified is another story both have iron blocks and are very capable, The cobra will do every bit of 800hp+ on a stock block and internals and the 4G63 will do the same so long as you change the internals of the 4G63 and change the headgasket and headstuds other than that your stuck at anywhere between 400-450hp. Both are wonderful cars, keep goin at it guys!

[keslerkaiyu]

Why would you post a video of you loosing. And yes you got the reaction of a 90 year old grandma.

[dodo0018]

hahha i know that was so gay!

[sonoratuning]

svt supercharged... GSX got better launch but your reaction time its a waste .. try to be better on that !

[knighthunterr]

your reaction time is delayed like a kid wit otism

[RKCexplorer]

hey is that kenne bell supercharger

[jimikimo]

Cobra got a great launch
