Some fun tonight.

[Dave_13_2002]

Took out both my cars, Me driving my MSP and my roommate driving my Eclipse V6. We went to a near by construction site, where many people street race. We lined up and went just for fun. We start and I get a half car jump on him till about 45 he starts to pull I shifted to 3rd and was pulling and pulling and pulling till i was around 2 cars ahead and just shut down. I knew I would win but I thought it would be alot closer. I mean even though it is a sport-tronic the 02 eclipse gt has 200 hp 200 tq (~175 whp ~160wtq)stock, then add in about 10 more hp and 15 tq due to mods. I thought it would own me off the line? It was fun though cant wait to hit the track and get real number.

So your MSP isn't coughing out blue smoke anymore?

For what it's worth:

the other MSP in Omaha, pulled an adjusted 187 on the chassis dyno yesterday. Box stock.

The Eclipse is heavy. And the gearing is more suited to touring than all-out acceleration. HP numbers don't mean much, look at the whole picture, grasshoper.

 

[LiLiTaLy]

umm who pulled a 187 hp on the dyno?

 

[Equinox]

how do you manage 187 hp out of a 170hp stock car?

 

[boostisgood]

Remember young Mazda-san, car mfrs will under rate thier hp and torque numbers to avoid lawsuits (I.E. Late 70's Chrysler was sued due to over rating thier cars ) and it is an ADJUSTED rating, not SAE. So take the 20 % parasitic draw from the tranny. 187 would equate to 151 SAE corrected whp.
