What u guys think who will win??

MUSTANG V6 VS. NEW ECLIPSE GT AWD

 

new? i dont think they have made a gsx since 99.

I raced one at firebird raceway my first time out. Really bad track conditions, and my worst track time ever. He ran a 16.02 to my 16.18. Since then i have run 15.26 at the track, and 14.86 on my gtech. The eclipse had an advantage at the track since his 60 ft time clipped mine by half a second (2.1 to 2.6)

 

Yes, new check it out.....

263 HP vs 210 hp, AWD vs RWD? It seems obvious to me the v6 mustang isnt going to hold up to it. It doesnt even seem like you would place these two in the same class. Maybe Im missing something here?

 

Actually I think the mustang would hold up pretty well, correct me if I'm wrong...but I belive that the new eclipse gt had 0-60 times of 5.8 sec. and quarter-mile times of 14.4 sec.

there is still no conparison between the V6 mustang priced at $20k and the eclipse GT priced at something like $28k.

 

0-60: 5.8 seconds!
1/4 mile: 14.4 @ 101mph!

With just couple of mods on mustang v6 i think it is easy to beat the eclipse GT AWD....wat u guys think? :scratch: :scratch: :scratch:

better to compare a GT to a GT, eh? But, with a few bolt-ons, methinks the V6 Mustang could hold it's own (at least, once the aftermarket catches up)

 

Where on this site does it say its available in an awd setup? i dont see it.

theres the performance numbers too, dont know where you got the 5.8 from.

 

Sorry about the confusion, I meant FWD on 2006 ECLIPSE GT!!!

 

Since it runs a 14.9 in the manual version, and the v6 runs a 15.3 in the automatic version, i think you have a pretty close competition. In a manual to manual race, it would come down to driver.

In the article they talk about the whimpy 235 tires. Try a pair of our 215s on for size lol. With 235 tires and a good limited slip diff, i promise you i could run high 14's any day.

Nevermind with a good posi and some 255s.

 

Ok, Road and track said that it ran 5.8 to 60. Wonder why such the big difference? whole second faster to sixty and only half a second quicker in the quarter? seems odd as the mustang gt is about 1.8 seconds quicker to sixty, and bout the same in the quarter mile.

 

That v6 eclipse site some guy posted that the new mustang gt runs a 13.9 in the quarter mile lol. Talkin bout fudging the numbers to make your car look better.

EDIT: i just registered in attempts to correct him

 

Fazm buddy, I think you're getting way too into this =P

 

Had a fight with my girlfriend lol, kinda put me in a tough mood. Had to take it out on something right? lol

 

Fazm I love your times!! Great job!! Keep up the great work, you make all of us V-6 owners PROUD!!!!

 

Fazm.. thanks for the link to the edmunds article...

[With medium throws and easy clutch work, our six-speed Eclipse GT pulled a 6.8-second 0-60 and a 14.9 quarter-mile. Check out our recent sport coupe comparison test and you'll see the Eclipse is faster than the Mazda RX-8, but no match for the Nissan 350Z or Ford Mustang GT.]

It's not 5.8... it's slower!

Doesn't the 210hp auto V6 Mustang do 0-60 in 6.9? And, the Eclipse GT's price is more in line with a Mustang GT deluxe. If Edmunds didn't have a typo, the V6 Mustang and Eclipese GT match up pretty well.

 

accoding to road and track Eclipse is a little slower
