N/A Eclipses are prety week, and I have been told that Premium gas don't help on 240s.
The best guess on your times I can give you is 15.5 - 17.5. It all depends on your skill, he still has a chance, if you are a bad driver or have an auto, and he has a 5 speed.

I'm *guessing* with the SOHC, 16.3-16.8 assuming a half decent launch. Should be a close race.

Dont think so, just try taking out your spare tire, all seats, and only have about 1/4 tank of gas or less. This should help a little.

or you can go the way of that white sentra and strip the car of everything execpt the engine, the seat, and the tires

Only one way to find out.... RUN TIME <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
Try doing some launches and when you get them down race his ass. Thats one strong point of the sx. She launches pretty well.
P.S. make sure theres no cops around when you race they suck :!:

well i intend to race him on the track. i've raced him from a green light to ~65mph 3 times he cant touch me off the line. 1 time i bogged down in first gear(let out to fast and didnt rev) but i caught him in 3rd.

According to my calculations, my guess is you will run about

Just take his ass to the track, if you start to have doubts... let some air out of his front tires, not all but most <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
