I've beat a 96' 5 speed Eclipse w/ intake exhaust from a slow slow slow roll, like 5 mph, and it was close from a stop, (less than a car length) IT may have been that his car was old but the final drive mod does close the gap quite a bit.

I think mod for mod it's really close. The only thing is that a MT can get off the line better than us. Because of that, if he is a good driver I think he might win. I have beaten alot of MT's before the Final drive mod and I think something was done to the tranny before I bought the car, I just don't know what. The most I've ever had it apart was changing the fluid and adding the gears,but I know something has to be done.
