Sway bar and attachments for 1989 Dodge B150 Van?
thanks if you might be able to help me out, my friend keeps saying his car is faster than mine, i just wanna prove him wrong w/o actually breaking any laws or damaging my car
Answers:
While horsepower doesn't always have to do with it, in this case the saab would win a race. I am not sure if that is what you wanted to hear or not, but there you go.
Depends on who the driver is. V8 engine is A LOT faster than the 4 cylinder though.
what makes the TH400 better than the TH350?
The Saab. The eclipse might take you off the line because the 2.4 will rev quicker. After a very short distance the HP and TQ of the 5.2 liter will become obvious. Therre is no replacement for displacement. In short the Saab motor can do more work over time and delivers more power to the drive wheels...you'd kick his/her rear end. The eclipse by end of the 1/4 mile would be looking at the Saab's tailights and glowing exhaust pipes.Where is the parking ticket holder on a Citroen Picasso?
Well that's easy. Your FRIENDS car would win. You don't want to break any laws, but I'm betting your friend would. So, he wins, no matter WHAT he's driving. His car is faster than yours because he's probably willing to GO faster.The Saab WILL go faster. But not with YOU driving. You can pull the performance stats off the internet for both cars, and the Saab will have better stats. But if you're gonna race, you gotta go FAST. Fast cars are only fast when they GO fast. Yeah baby!! He wins. Sorry. It's a guy thing. ZOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM
Why do you think Acura stopped making the Legend model?
If the Eclipse had the v6 then it could win--- the eclipse given it's weight and drag ratio would be about equal at 2700 pounds of weight. but the eclipse weighs about 3300 pounds vs the 4800 of the Saab. with almost half the horsepower and torque the equal match would be 2400 lbs 150 hp and 165 ftlb of torque. given the higher wind resistance on the Saab you could give another 300 lbs to the Eclipse. Now this is on a highway!!!. In a track like Laguna Sega, or a close turning road course--the Eclipse would win because that it has a lower center of gravity, closer gear ratio, and better g-force holding .Lets go with a 2005 Saab, since those specs are the same as your description, power to weight is the strongest factor, so in this case 15.55 to one.

If the friend is ready to put up or shut up, then have some 3rd person you both trust and respect as a good racer to take both of them down the local dragstrip on grudge night on two passes.
gmc/chevy manuals on do it yourself from home /guides/instructions manuals?
Total cost... Pizza: 20 bucks
Soda: 10 bucks
Dragstrip fees: 40-60 bucks.
So for around 50 apiece this will be someones bragging rights.

it would completely matter on about 25 zillion variables, from the aerodynamic efficiencies of both cars to the tires to the road surface to power curves to thermodynamic efficiencies to how much you and the car weigh, etc etc etc.
Who would win between a 98 chevy cavalier or a 2000 grand prix se?
that doesnt even bring in by far the largest factors, such as what kind of race (road course, autocross, 1/4 mile, full mile, oval track, hill climb?, etc), or THE DRIVER.
Chevy truck OWNERS only please?
the driver is always the deciding factor. Put a first timer in an F1 car and i can almost guarentee a pro driver in a Miata would take him on a race track. Especially considering the F1 person would stall it or kill themselves in the first lap.
and the most important point is: if youre scared to drive the car faster than you can or want to, whats the purpose of bragging about who has the faster car? A car is only as fast as 3 factors: The mechanics of it, the driver's skill, and the drivers courage. Once one of the last 2 barriers is reached, further performance is pointless, and the driver needs to get faster, not the car.

Those numbers doesn't count unless we don't know the weight of the vehicle in question. At first when I saw your question, I realised that there is no Saab 9.7 (as a car) cause I knew that it was an SUV. Then I continued to read your details and you said that it is an SUV.

So in this case I'm afraid to tell you that your friend will be faster than you cause though the numbers are lessen than yours, don't forget that he has a sport car. It was build with the aerodynamics for racing, the weight is for a race car. So yes he would be faster than you.

I think the driver more so than the car will choose the out comeI think the Saab 9.7 will win. It has a lot more power and torque than the little eclipsee. Plus the new eclips is a heavy car. try it out in a big parking lot I bet the Saab will win. Ricers have a problem admitting that their cars are slow.
