Read the other 10 pages and I think alot people will tell you it can. Drivers race in my opinion....fastest stock gt is the same as the fastest stock ss/sc. Either way...they are decent platforms...I just think the balt is better, it has much more aftermarket support.

Ah ok. I knew the ej25 spooled turbos a bit better than the 20 did, thanks for that.

your right...bad drivers...so I guess the other guy wasnt a bad driver....and so because you beat it once...it can beat all ss/sc's. Oh wait...but you just said bad drivers....wow....

No **** about the cfm would of never knew that. Cause a gt35 turbo will do the same exact thing as a stock turbo would.(Being sarcastic) but we haven't talked about turbos or replacing a supercharger with a different one. Maybe a pullet but that's about it.

What the **** are you talking about dude?! I never said my car is faster than all this ****. Ask Jackalope, I'm actually VERY real about my car.

The Eclispe GT runs 14.0s in the quarter mile being there best times

The SS/SC runs 14.0s int he quarter mile being their best times...HOW is that not a driver's race.

I'm not going to group you with the 2.2L owners, most of them are intelligent and don't jump to conclusions all the time.

PS, my first car was a 2.2L.

You my friend, are illogical and don't know what you are talking about.

STOCK FOR STOCK IS A ******* DRIVERS RACE WHAT IS SO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND?! THEY BOTH RUN 14.0 IN THE QUARTER MILES!

you use the logic because you beat one with a bad driver you can beat them all. I bet your girl's car is an auto anywho, you can't **** up, manual car can.

And please educate me please what is different from your motor and a pt cruiser motor? Cause honestly I don't know(not being a smart ass and would actually like to know the difference)
pt cruiser turbo and srt-4 has basically the same engine and turbo. Your car engine is designed to pump 260+ hp out of a v6 motor by using a high compression engine. As a result your engine when running boost can only hold so much boost around 8-10lbs if that with tunning required. The internals are not meant for boost so they will fail under too much stresss. Unlikely lower compression motors can run high boost

No man I'm talking about between a non turbo pt cruiser motor and a turboed one? Except stuff to make the car run with the turbo. Is it a different block? Different internals? I know how my motor was designed. As far as what it can handle before it will blow up is still pending. And pretty much any car that is a performance that's not from the factory with a turbo or supercharger runs a high compression. Can't really name any off the top of my head.

ok so your saying its a drivers race i can agree with that if what you say is true about the under rated hp but we will never know who will win because it can all be blamed on bad drivers, and yes my girls car is an 5speed auto with the sportstronic trans. because she was born with a birth defect and her left leg isnt as strong as her right, and thats the only reason, she can drive stick it just not as good as most cause its hard for her to push in the clutch

Ya man reading you can learn a lot lol. But anyways bottom line everyone buys their cars for their reason and what they have in mind for a build. Sorry if I offended anyone. Still stand behind my point but I'm sure you do as well. But on another note when the f are they gonna start carrying f-in ss on the lot.

Dude, ask ANYONE who knows what they are talking about. 99% of people know the ss/sc is underrated. do 1 minute of research and you'll find that.

If that is your logic then no car will ever know its best driving.....

But if you see a list of all the eclipse GT stock times and the ss/sc stock times you'll see its a pretty close race and whichever one misses a gear or shifts to slow or hits the redline or ***** up, will end up costing them the race....which is the definition of a driver's race....which ever driver is better, stock for stock, he will most likely win. If both drivers are equal, it will be a neck to neck race most likely.

I'm not saying the ss/'sc is faster, i'm not saying its an uber fast car, its not, its quick car thats nice and fun to drive.

the ss turbos 09 are already out. some guy dynoed 281whp on an 09 sedan.

I felt queezy.

they are just different motors, pistons, rods, crank, the block itsf, etc.

For isntance the might LS1 very high compression engine can only hold about 7-8 and be safe. anything more than that it will need to modifiied the bottom end.

Its all good. Like wise, I hope you didnt take anything to heart either. I like good debates. Like I said the eclipse is a good platform...just not my cup of tea. Everyone has their reasons to buying their car. The 4g is just starting to explore what it can and cant do...which is where the cobalt was a year or more ago. My point should be that there are plenty of 400-500whp cobalts out there that are reliable and proven. The RIPP kit is a good start for the eclipse and hopefully has opened the doors for more aftermarket support. 400whp is a great place of the 4g to start. My biggest question is how reliable is it? It seems like some owners are already having tuning issues with this kit regarding that. Hence why I argued that the cobalt has proven that it can handle those numbers and above reliably. The cobalt community is still learning where are cars stand with modding...we learn new stuff..it seems everyday. I can only hope that more aftermarket support comes for the 4g...otherwise who knows....this maybe where the performance ends for it. Look at where the 3g eclipse is. Thank god the 4g is leap and bounds above it. I have no problems with you defending your car....as I will with mine...but earlier it seemed you thought the eclipse was above the cobalt....which was what I didnt get because the cobalt has been there and done that. Overall I think these cars are evenly matched, stock and modded. After all this debacle all I can say is happy modding and keep us updated on where the 4g is headed.
