I always hear about 1/4 mile times all the time. but i was wondering what are ya's 0-60 times. have ya done any timing on ya cars on the street? i really want to from the turbo guys also.

 

According to auto journalists, I remember it being 7.2 sec. Hearing the turbo 0-60 would be nice, too.

 

You know better Speed_demon.... No street ANYTHING allowed. That promotes an unhealthy lifestyle. Please ask for it in the form of an "unofficial" time or closed course g-meter data or something. Anything but public street data or they'll lock this thread up tight! Don't expect much more than guestimates, ppl don't seem to want to post actual timeslips anymore or more people would just be able to go to the registry and find this info out *Hint* *Hint*

 

I have a G-Tech Pro meter but I don't use it much. There are a few websites that you can punch the 60' 330' and 1/8 mile times and it will give you your 0-60 times.

I am at 3.3 -3.4 sec 0-60 on the Evo 8 MR, 12.2@111.4 PIR
about 3.8 on the Evo 9 12.6@107 SIR
7.4 sec on the 98 Golf GTI 15.7@91 SIR
8.6 sec on the Civic SI 16.3@84 SAR
5.6sec on the BMW 14.3@90 SIR

By the way, don't ask me but YES ia have taken all my vehicles to the 1/4 track multiple times

how many evos and cars do u own?

 

Yeah no kidding uh?, I am actually looking to get me another GSX Eclipse97-99 (it will be my 4th Eclipse Turbo I ever owned), they are just to hard to find but I think is a nice car that I must have.

They seem to vary widely. The mags I've read have the sticks between 7.2 and 7.8, while the autos are even more spread out, anywhere between 8.0 and 9.2. I don't think Mitsu has released factory times for the RA so we have no 'genuine' figure so to speak.

Zero-to-60 is good to know if you're concerned about how quickly your car will get to highway speed when you need to merge with traffic, but people who place their cars in 'well regulated, managed and governed competitive situations' are more concerned about distance times like the 1/4 and the 1/8th.

 

Not to jack but I know an old guy at work w/ a 99GSX that just rolled 60K... Yeah that low and never jerked with. He won't even pull the factory restictors or put on a 1st gen crusher to hold more boost! His new wife hates it (way too fast for her) and if he DOES sell it and I'm short of cash when it comes up I'll give you a pm. The car is still in phenomenal shape w/ a few minor cosmetics you have to crawl over it to see. Lusty red w/ black leather.... he even gets better mileage in it than I do w/ my RA, thats how much he pampers it, and his 944, TR6, and Denali (wifey's). If he finds a 911 or boxer he likes he might let the GSX go, I'm actually hoping he waits a year or so I can buy it for myself! Btw, do you have problems w/ ppl in saturns wanting to race you? Seems it's a common side effect of owning a DSM these days. Okay back to topic.

I hear the g-techs are pretty acurate at 0-60's etc...

 

If he is selling it I am interested. Please mention that to him, thanks!!

been looking to get me anouther gsx myself too. some really good deals on the gsx and tsi on e-bay right now.

 

Yaeh but the Mitsu was nicer cosmetically than the Talon(my opinion). On the 97-99 you can't resits, the car offers a good package all around. Now they have EvoIII turbo upgrades for dirty cheap and I always maintained that the Eclipse is the brother of the Evo performance wise.

Carlos

 

It's the main reason the new generation of Eclipses will never be AWD again... We have the EVO now Don't get me wrong, I'd love to own an EVO, but 99.9% of my driving in ON the street and not the dirt. I'd rather have a GSX honestly!

 

im a first gen gsx all the way over an evo. sold my 91 gsx fully built back in 02. was a monster! (running an fp red turbo)

 

off topic.........

 

So you go to a complete stop before merging into a highway??
