HHHmmmm 3.0 v6 engine stock peace of good for nothing truck vs. a 2.0 4 cyl. Mitsubishi Eclipse RS not turbo but anyhow me personally have never race a ranger truck. I could have sworn trucks where meant for off roading but whatever, i once raced a f15o v8, and all i have in my car would be an aem intake and thats about it, in conlcusion the story is i smoked it!! here you are making a fool of your self talking non sense about racing fanatics when your pretty much doing and saying the same thing we are. you call us rice and honda boys when i call you a dumb redneck no offense to the cocasian racers!! silly trucker your just a dumb mutha $*#$@^  

I know this is a late reply to this but I just had to reply to this dumb *** *** who started this *** thread. I have a 1996 civic EX with a B18c1 block, and a b16a2 head, bone stock except higher compression pistons and a gsr tranny with lsd. I ran low 15s yesterday at the track and it was *** in the high 80's, while being humid as balls. *** ford rangers and their *** drivers.
I also saw a 94 supra yesterday run a 7.88. whooped the *** out of all the supercharged camaros and turbo mustangs that were at the track.  

THAT SUCKS I SOLD MY 240 TODAY :-(  CAUSE ID OF SMOKED YOUR ASS LIKE ROLLED WEED  

I work at a Mitsubishi dealership and yeah, chrysler made an engine for the old eclipses, and they have the most problems than any car we have. And also, the Mitsubishi Raider truck is basically a de-tuned Dodge Dakota, but they do not in any way own us.

btw. 8000rpm isnt *** the Honda s2000's redline is 9000 stock. my buddies turbo LS hatch's redline is at 13500, 520hp.  

Where is the hp number pulled on that hatch? Close to the top?  That means his car's motor makes as much torque as one cylinder of my truck.  I'm not saying trucks are for racing but they sure can be fun.  My truck isn't built for racing at all but it is quicker than most of the cars on the road and I haven't even tried to make it that way.  My truck is my daily driver, pulls my boat, hauls cars around or whatever else I put behind it, is great in any weather, and I can take it places cars wouldn't stand a chance of making it.  Yea it weighs close to 8000 pounds and I only get 20mpg but it gets over 1000ft lbs of torque to the wheels and will pull a 5.2 0-60 taking it easy on the start and shift and that is at just 42psi of boost.  Gotta love the straight 6s.
