i was reading in road and track, the 1/4 time on the new eclipse GT V6 was somewhere around a 14.5........you should take him. But the T/A is a different story:nonono:

WS6 or not, you'll still lose. Eclipse I'm not sure about, but I haven't heard much jazz about them, so they must not be too impressive. Get a lot more mods before you try to tackle a t/a.

Oh well it happens. Do you know his mods?

Oh yea and just a FYI a Z28=SS=Trans am=Formula=WS6

I'm sure this horse has been beating to death but there are people who still think that a WS6 and a SS are far superior than the others.

So loud and raspy that you wanted to kill yourself?
If so I'm willing to bet he had headers off-road y with a strait pipe style exhaust. Something like SLP, GMMG, Corsa, or Borla.

With a full bolt on exhaust and gears you should walk an LT1 Trans Am no problem, and be pretty close with an LS1, but I would still give the LS1 the advantage.

With the LT1 and the LS1 being stock of course

My buddy's 95 TA went 14.5 at the track bone stock. Then with Pacesetter Long Tubes, Off Road Y with cutout, Flowmaster Exhaust, 3.42 gears, and smooth bellows, went 14.0 in the 1/4.

Stock LS1's can run anywhere from high to low 13's stock.

The eclipse I'm not sure about.

I think a well modded LT1 could surprise a few 03/04 Cobras, so I'd be careful what you pick on.

If you don't beat the Eclipse I personally vote to ban you.

I raced an eclipse at about 70-75mph. By the time i reached 95-100 I only had a car or 2 length. I'm sure I would have wasted him to higher speeds
