Ok, My friend won't shut up about thinking he can beat me in his 4 cylinder POS Camaro. NO MODS. I drive an eclipse RS with cat back exhaust, spark plugs and wires and a K and N filter. ( barely anything). I beat him in the middle of day at a light the slopes uphill. He even got a better start than i did because i had to keep my foot on the brake so i wouldn't hit the guy parked behind me. the road also turned left and i had the outside. I BEAT HIM BY 5 FEET and to this day he thinks he can beat me.

I beat my friends z28 camaro :-D
he pulled ahead off the start rwd-ftw
but after 2nd gear all he could see was my tail lights

They don't come in 4 bangers 6 yes 4 no and it's his weight that's holding him back.
He can easly install a supercharger and kick you to the curb!
Word to the wise be cool before he does...

I know they don't make camaros with 4 cylinders but hes got one. I don't know if they had to get a new engine or what but ive seen it and hes only got 4 under the hood. trust me.

they did make 4 banger camaros there for a little while. not sure what the years but ive seen em as well.

1984-1986 they used the P.O.S. Quad 4 2.5L. It was balls slow.

balls in the jaws slow!!!!

okay. heres the stats on the 4cyl camaros.

Okay. So the stats are all there. The most HP a 4 cyl camaro ever made was a whopping 92hp. The highest gear ratio ever put in, was a 3.73.

Now assuming that your buddy has the best that Chevy made, An eclipse makes 140hp, 48 more than the chevy! Also the eclipse is equipped with a 3.93 gear ratio, so its gonna get up to speed way quicker. Not to mention, the eclipse is incredibly lighter, as already mentioned.

So, the only way your buddy would win a race, is if

a. you miss a shift. (or other driver error)
or
b. something broke.

unless you have some major mods, that is impossible to believe

Simsss car issss a GS-t, so it could be possible. I've been smoked by a talon and eclipse, both turbo in my 5.0 mustang.

I smoked a 5.0 Mustang in my V6 Dodge Shadow when I had it...

you mean the 5.0l v8 with only 175hp right? those things dont even count as mustangs.

a z28 camaro is way more than powerful enough to destroy an eclipse. My dads mach 1 can destroy my 1g GST

oh, my bad. i never even looked under his hood. i just took his word that he said he had a 4 cylinder. its not. its the base 6 cylinder. but it doesnt matter anymore cuz i know i can still beat him. and once i get my 97 gsx, its all over. its gonna sound like this, vvvvrroooooooooomm whooooooossssshhhhhh!!! jk haha

They did at one point in the 80's put the Quad Four in the Camaro.

What year is his RS? From '93-'95 GM used the 3.4L V6 in the base Camaro (approx. 171HP) and from '96-'03 they used the infamous 3800 V6. Trust me, both blow horribly. GM can't make a V6 to save their lives, they all eat gaskets. At least the 4.3L is a 350 minus 2 cylinders.

yeah i think its a 93. i know its the 3.4 so its slow and heavy.

Yeah, the 3.4 was a garbage engine. Leaks EVERYTHING.
