it's a fairly close race, again dont know whats done to any of the cars.
First off you're thinking V6, for a V6 an AWD Turbo Eclipse would be a race, but a V6 Camaro is considerably slower than it's V8 counterpart. As far as the video, I said stock for stock the Evo or STi would be a good race for an LS1 Camaro, once we get into the modding world it all depends on who has more money. The first race between the Evo and the SS wasn't really even a race, the Evo got off the line and was rapidly run down the the SS, the second race was closer, but the SS did a good amount of catching up, and in the camera view from the Evo, it got passed pretty quickly both times.

Stock EVO 8 vs. a Stock LS1 in a quarter mile dig is going to be the LS1 in a 1/8th it could be closer but I think the LS1 would win. EVO 9 is a little closer in the quarter. And it’s a driver race in the 1/8th I would lean more to the 9 due to a LS1’s 60 time but it would still be a good one. From a roll the LS1 has both of them beat and even more so at higher speeds. All of this is assuming both driver are at a high level.

stock for stock, i would think theAWD turbo eclipse would give a LT a good run for it's money, Z having upper hand and 80% of time win, and this is from a dig. from a roll, i i can see it being a v6 race, and domination by the LT.. most of the LTs came with **** tires too dont forget, and they spin up to 3rd if the driver didnt launch weak, where the AWD dude, could bounce there GD rev limitor[:@]
An LT1 would walk all over a stock eclipse. The only eclipse that would even give the LT1 a race is the new GT, and even then the LT1 would most likly win. Back when new you could see stock LT1s running high 13s. Now they usally run low 14s becuase they are all over 10 years old. Thats still faster than any stock AWD eclipse is going to run. And blaming tires is lame, the car is over 10 years old. If it still has stock tires on it, its probly not going to be racing anyway.

The eclipse is a race for the 3.8L, from a dig or from a roll. Even though the eclipse has AWD, its sending less HP to the wheels becuase of drivetrain loss. It has the advantage from a dig, but still a drivers race with the 3.8.
I have been out of the loop for some time but if I am not mistaken they don’t have a 3.8 AWD yet. I think Mitsubishi had talked about it a little back in 06 but scraped the idea for the new Lancer turbo (not the evo 10) coming out next year. Its is supposed to fill the gap to give Subaru a running rival for the WRX. Last AWD eclipse or talon would have been in 99. And you are dead on a first or second generation 4g63 doesn’t stand a snow ***** chance vs. a LT1

That was kinda my point, stock for stock it would be a close race, especially if we aren't using professional drivers. That being said, AWD doesn't give this uber advantage that everyone thinks it does, nor would an AWD Eclipse be any match for a V8 F-body.
