04 rx8 vs 03 mitsubishi eclipse
not sure what type of eclipse it is, but is there any possible way that a stock eclipse of any type could beat an 04 rx8 with borla catback exhaust in a drag race?

Does your friend have any stickers on his Eclipse? This could play a big role in a race with him. Especially if any of them say VTEC or R Type. If it says ECLIPSE in real big letters across his front or back window, you are in big trouble.

Well, if you "magazine race" these cars, the 8 wins hands down. 2003-2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT: 210 hp @ 5750 rpm(Spyder), 0-60 mph : 7.2 sec. Even the 2007 with its 260 lb-ft of torque and 263 hp, only goes 0-60 in about 7 seconds. In real life, it's a driver's race.
