I have a 95 eclipse rs, and i like it very much. I am in the process of deciding which turbo to buy and all of that nonsence.(probably hahn, seems the eaisest since i am turbo retarded) Two of my friends have a Trans am 350 and a camaro with a 350 and he might be upgrading to a 383. I want to kick their ass so bad, any chance of this ever happening and what will it take?

There is absolutely a chance of you beating your friends' domestics! If you have the funds, you will be able to walk them no problem. EclipseRST on this forum has about 350 hp on his RS after his turbo setup (self-installed). Sure, he has many other modifications, but I think he spent about $5000 to upgrade is car, including everything from intake to intercooler. You should read the sicky on turboing NA eclipses if you have not already. The American imports are rwd, so in my opinion you will need at least 240-250 hp in your rs to hang with them. GS-T's will lose to Z28's stock in the quarter. Your advantage is weight, so if you can get your power to the ground you will own :)

Now, if your buddies start getting scared and upgrade their V8s, you might be in some trouble :lol:

Not all, Corvette's are nice and fast. GTP's are good too. Not to mention Porsche... awesome.

Don’t be a tool, I don’t care if your Import or Domestic. As long as you're into your car, you know what the he1 your doing, and you can drive you car. Don't forget the "Star" in Diamond Star Motors is Chrysler.
