Exactly like stated.

Stock for stock the DSM turbo wins.

A moderately modded or better SVT will take a stock DSM but then what is a stock DSM.

For a couple hundred bucks DSM's are mid to low 14's

For a grand or so they are 14 flat easily, probably high 13's!


So if you happen to find a stock DSM (good luck) odds are the person would not race you anyway since it's an old lady or someone similiar in car nature.


Morale of the story is 99.9% of us would lose.



If you mean 3rd gen Eclipse then yes an SVT would win by a hair. Mod for mod the SVT would pull a head even more but I do not consider anything but a 1G or 2G worth talking about so...

If you mean 1.8L then you can beat it on foot.

The 2.0L DOHC (non-turbo) is a good engine but still slow as hell.


A more exact morale. If it's not a turbo DSM then it's not worth talking about...


2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
