i had a 92 awd talon. 1st gear was rediculously low, iirc like good to 20 and 3rd was good for around 100. off the line, the eagle would torture the 951 like everyone said, but depending on how long you run, the 951 would eventually pass it, but probably not in a quarter mile given similar mods.

with the 2wd, i think the 951 will beat it in every situation give similar mods. i think they would light the tires up too much.

also, the stock brakes and suspension on that car were way too crappy for the power that car was putting out. make sure you realize that in case of emergency.

What 'evidence' did you post? A link to a forum with information already disputed by other posters in this thread?

I guess jyoon is lying as well... shame on you jyoon for saying 1st gear took you to 20 and 3rd to 100... much like Dark did when he said I was on block. Oh no, that was actualy a lie. My bad.

I have no beef...

Black is a bit of a **** that thinks he knows more than he does and lies that was proven earlier, no big deal. Seen his kind before.

I have a 1G '90 Laser. It's a strong car, it's not a 951. For the most part, it is miserable to work on and everything on it is "el cheapo" (my best latin reference). For instance, I just redid the head on mine with some hop ups, mainly the use of head studs instead of head bolts (?)! - Tell me that wasn't an accountants decision since it surely wasn't an engineers. Things break a lot. AWD drag types are constantly struggling with the weak transfer cases and axles. It is a serious performing car, but you'ld be underneith it even more than a 951. It seems I am with mine.

I hear ya about the CV's and axles, the EVO's at the track with 400+ hp do them all the time. I was at the drags today and a 10sec EVO was on the trailer with a bung box.

Ive never understood the point of comparing cars once modifications are done. Thats like saying, Yeah Michael Jordan is good, but if I take my game and wear 7-ft stilts, I can dominate his *** even from a rolling stop.

Its ALL apples and oranges. Compare stock car to stock car. Nothing more or less. Otherwise theres absolutely no baseline we can all agree on.

UDPride is 100% right, you guys start talking about mods but you can mod each car different, so you can't compare them then. I think you guys should stick to stock to stock, even if you take the car in stock form and add the same thing to each car they will perform different because of the design of the car.
