Default 02 eclipse Vs 97 tib fx

who do you think would win a race between a 2002 eclipse has 200hp VS a 1997 tiburon fx 140hp(both are stock)also take in mind that the new eclipse's are bigger than a tib.

Just by look at the HP ratings...it's a no brainer. But there are many ractors.

the 2002 Eclipse is also much heavier. It is a more fair raise that you would imagine.

Bone stock, both 5-speeds, the Eclipse would win in the 1/4 mile, but the tibby might eek ahead in the 0-60 race.

If the Eclipse is an autotragic, then the tibby should win both 0-60 and 1/4 mile.
