All depends on the driver. If you're talking about a true 6-puck racing clutch, you might have a hard time getting a good launch.

I've been surprised by some of the old body style Eclipses. Not sure what year they switched over to the wide-butt design.

Here is some punctuation for you :...,,??!. Some Capitol letters :I,I,A . You don't really need to put caps. in the middle of a sentence for non proper words. By the way were you trying to speak English? Street racing is dangerous too.

well if you wat to talk proper Raceing Beat Clutch is a name of a product therefor it has to be capitalized. but to answer the guys questio instead of critisizing people theres only one way to fid out. and thats just race her

A stock RX7 will run the 1/4 in 13.9 or so. A Turbo Eclipse will run the 1/4 mile in about 14.7 or so. With that being said, if she's boosting a bit higher, she could be close to your speed.

In the end, this comes down to who is the better driver.
