1/4 times corrected?

[Mike3800]

So.. doing some browsing on here I see that a person with a Talon ESi with an automatic runs low 15's... is that actual time out here or is that corrected to sea level?

I'm trying to decide on an auto or a 5-speed. I know the 5-speed is faster but if the auto runs low 15's out here with minimal modifications... I'd rather go with the automatic.

We frown on "corrected times".

Boosted ESi (?)

If I read that correctly.

[Mike3800]

Also... then how fast do automatic GSX's and ESi's run with minimal modifications or stock out here?

[BoostedGS]

He ran a low 15 with an automatic TSi. The ESi model is not turbo.

I think most people run mid 15's at this altitude with the manual GSX and TSi AWD. An automatic tranny would probably run a little slower because you lose that awesome launching ability, unless you get a stall convertor, which I would not consider "minimal modification."

Ok, for clarification just so someone doesn't get confused...

Talon Models:

ESi - NON-turbo 420A neon engine
TSi - Turbo Front wheel drive 4G63T engine
TSi AWD - Turbo All wheel drive 4G63T engine


Eclipse models:

RS - Non-turbo 420A neon engine, no body effects package
GS - Non-turbo 420A neon engine, body effects package
GS-T - Turbo Front wheel drive 4G63T engine
GSX - Turbo All wheel drive 4G63T engine

You for got the spyder, but we'll forgive ya.

[v413nc3]

Oh god, how could I forget the only eclipse that comes with the amazing 4G64


Eclipse models continued

Spyder GS - non-turbo 4G64 2.4l engine
Spyder GS-T - Turbo front wheel drive 4G63T engine

[Mike3800]

I don't know why I thought an ESi was a turbo, I completley forgot about the TSi, brain farted and thought the ESi was turbo. I hope you people are not going to think I am retarted after (if/when) I buy my Eclipse or Talon and start to show up at test and tune's with you all. Oh well. Thanks for the information.

*in a deep confused slow voice*

deeeeuuuuu hey! how big is the supercharger on the GNX-T Laser?

[v413nc3]

LoL. The whole point of asking things here is so that you get the information you need.

HEY! I resent that! :D Remember though. Almost everyone was in that timeframe at one time or another. You have to be slow before you can go fast. I just broke out of the 14 second club this season (was stuck in the 15's season before). I guess having a SHIFTING transmission does help to faster times though. :rolleyes:

GSX - Turbo All wheel drive 4G63T engine I'm sure you know this but for the morons only the 2nd Gen N/A's came with the 420A. All 1st Gen N/a cars had either the 4G63 or the 1.8 liter. But I think I've also seen some 2nd Gen N/A cars with the non turboed 2.0?
