I have a 1968 mustang coupe with a 289 v8 automatic thats running around 290 hp. I have the edelbrock performer package (matching heads, high rise intake, 600 carb, and cam), thorley tri-y headers and a flowmaster 40 series dual exhaust. My buddy has a 2004 mitsubishi eclipse spyder and he thinks he could take me. Were getting ready to race and i wanna know if you think i can beat him (probably around a 1/4-1/2 mile).

What kind of tires you have? What is you diff? Honeslty, if you are all bone stock except for what you posted, then he will take you. HP and torque is no good if you have no traction.
I don't know man... I had a 2001 GS and I ran pretty good with my friends 68 fastback. He had aluminum intake, 4 bbl holley, b&m shift kit, headers, flowmasters, .30 over bore on his 302... he would take me BUT!
2001 GS= 147 horsepower
2004 GTS= 210 horsepower
I think you'll take him... but don't get your hopes up.
Tell him, it doesn't matter how fast he is... he can't outrun ugly!
If you want to pick on imports... pick on mine
94 Supra TT 457rwhp
2001 GS= 147 horsepower
2004 GTS= 210 horsepower

You should take him, but probably not at anything over 100 or so. Simple fact is you have a 3 speed, and he has overdrive (whether he's an auto or stick). Keep it on the track, the shorter the track the better for you.
What kind of mods does your friend have on that eclipse? Being front wheel drive you should beat him off the line. I have owned 2 Eclipse GSX's. First one ran 12.90 @ 105 in the 1/4. The other one felt faster, but never got it to the track. Those cars can be made very fast. From a stop you should be able to beat him, would not race him from a roll though. If he is stock you will smoke him. Post his mods and I can tell you pretty close what you will be looking at racing him.
Just re-read your post, you said a 2004 eclipse. YOU WILL and SHOULD SMOKE him. If it were a 1990-1999 model with the Turbo 46G3 engine, the above would apply. the newer ones are a joke.
