eclipse spyder vs teg gs non vtech

with the 2.4l vs over the 1.8 non vtech

its VTEC, and the non vtec isn't a fast model, probably about 16 second 1/4 time. if you want competition the GSR is a competitive model. the Type R would smoke you.

Youll lose prob either way.... your a Spyder which means your car weights prob over 1000lbs more than his and that is not good

I've owned both, back to back. The teg is a whole lot quicker off the line, but once the clipse gets moving, you'll be seein' Acura in your rear view.

Not in a spyder... I doubt it... the spyder is just too heavy

Mine is a GS, so I wouldn't know about the Spyder. I couldn't imagine it being any heavier than the GS though. Why would it be?

Reinforcment man.

and the motor for the top is heavy too.

A GS is what around 3200LBS a spyder is around 3600+ The 3G spyder weights close to 4k and the coupes only weight 3300

I have an auto GSX and I have a playfull rivalry with a manual spyder turbo convertible. We are 2 n 2 now. The point being is if the vehicle was a non convertible he would smoke me. But since the vehicle is a convertible it evens out the naturally .2-.3 sec slower auto because of the weight. Any questions?? LOL

According to http://auto.consumerguide.com/Auto/Used/reviews/full/index.cfm/id/2209/act/usedcarreviewspecs/ the hard top is 2,767 and the convertible is 2,888. The difference is probably more in the motor for the top than anythiong else.

I can't find the Consumer Reports page but they put it at around 3,150 and the rag top at around 3,286 if I remember right.

Now the same consumer reports said the Celica Convertible GT is 2100 lbs 8O And AutoConsumerGuiude comes back with a more realistic 2,700 lbs

Pick your medicine:)

The car DOES NOT weight 3286, that is what the EVO weights and I KNOW for a fact the spyders are heavier

From a stop the AWD will always beat FWD Auto or not. Autos weight a little more alone but spyders outweight that. And the 2 cars would need to have identical mods in order to be comparible, not sure the mods on the cars your talking about

emonz the cars are stock bro.. oops lol. Yeah off the line I spank.. after that.. gets interesting....lol

again identicle setups GSX always win from a stop... GST maybe from a roll. Dont forget the GSX is the heavier of the Eclipsecoupe models. so it is closer in range with the convert but still the spyder will out weight a GSX anyday
