Raced a 95 Eagle Talon TSi AWD tonight.....>>>
Talked to the guy before and he said that the car was bone stock....however, I heard a BOV and possibly an intake as we were pulling out of the parking lot. First red light we got to, we launched them. I dropped the clutch at 4500 with ESP off, as usual, but his car looked like a freakin rubber band the way it launched. Afterwards, he stayed out about 3 car lengths in front the whole way, never could gain on him. He told me that he forgot to mention that he had an aftermarket clutch, and that's why he got such a good jump.
All I can say is I WANT A NEW CLUTCH!!!! I've never seen a launch that crisp. But I do have a question....those cars have 200hp stock (I think at the crank) so why could I not gain on him? Maybe I need a good tune-up? I'm not very good at judging diminishing performance.

I've destroyed two Talons, one AWD the other FWD...
In each case I allowed them to get the jump (to be sure that we were racing) and took them out from 2nd gear on (passed them) and pulled off. Here's a link to a post I made about it many years ago...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/284656.phtml">My true Eclipse story.</a></li></ul>
