Lancer vs. Mirage?
 

Knowing that the mirage is lighter, yet the lancer has a little more HP...
Just out of curiosity, has anyone raced the two? Does anyone know for a fact how close the match would be?

LoneeeMeeeee (Cliff) raced his friend's Mirage. Mirage took it being several hundred pounds lighter, and that was when Cliff took out a lot of stuff (seats to name a few). Probably better to ask him.

I've raced a 2000 mirage and lost only once out of several races. The one time I lost I wasn't paying attention and was looking at my wife instead of the light, she got the jump on me and I couldn't catch her.
After I got my exhaust we have raced and it has been anywhere from me winning by a car length to several car length's. I was surprised at how fast her Mirage can be, plus she don't like to lose. If she had a real fast car she would be dangerous. You can see some of her mirage in the pictures of my car.

Interesting Mightym, then again your wife is a chick driver, no offense! :lol:

However, I need Cliff to answer this Q, hello are you out there Loneeemeeee?

No offense taken, I've seen my wife beat alot of people in racing, I guess they think she will back down since she is a woman. She is scared to ride in my camaro though, and she won't even try to drive it.

i raced a 2002 Mirage, i spanked him =]

Mirage
 

Which Mirage are you talking about?
The 1.5 or the 1.8? 2 door or 4 door.

I traded in my 1.5 coupe for this car.

Mirage
 

I had a 99 by the way.

My wifes is a 4 door with the 1.8 liter.

i have a 95 mirage sedan 1.5L 4G15 i have basic bolt ons and a 50 shot of NOS i raced an 02 Lancer OZ with bolt ons and i won by a bumber with out spray. when i sprayed during the begining of 2nd and 3rd gear i won by 1 1/2 car length. i got the jump both times. it was a light to light race. so idk if we had a longer race he would probably catch me with better top end.

my cousin has a 2001 mirage 4 door, 1.8L, auto...we both took our air intake filters out for the heck of it...I also had my subwoofers in the trunk which weighed me down a bit. (This was on a close course) from a dig I jumped on him by about 1-2 cars but he came back and got me by 1 car by about 65mph

I have already mentioned this in another thread. Please don't make this Lancer vs Mirage vs the world type of thread.

IMO, Mirage sedans are a bit underpowered, even with a G93 in it and despit being in the high 2300 to low 2400 lbs. Pre-99 sedans had G15 in it. Man, it was a pig with auto. It was also a tad ighter than a LS coupe w/ auto.

well how much power did the 2001 make?
