This thread is going to get ugly.
Results seem about right, the Eco has a bit more power overall.

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't go out and research what exactly twin-scroll was.
All of me was hoping that.

But a base '14 v6 has a 2.73 ratio and performance pack also adds summer tires.
I think between the two engines it's a driver's race given the same reported 0-60 and quarter mile times.

While I know you are right, I don't see why it will. People love to play the EB vs V6 argument but the truth is the EB is no joke. Look how many tune only cars are in the 12's, same cannot be said for the V6. That is not saying anything bad, it's just a fact. There is just so much EB hate on this forum it is ridiculous. We have a 4 cylinder Mustang that can compete with the highest class of Mustamg competition (in the 1/4). But people on here will hate anyways, nothing will change that.

Thanks for the interesting info. Were you ever behind, or did you feel you had more than him even at the starting line?

If driven correctly (not saying OP didn't), the EB should gap early and maintain the lead. I could see the MPH being similar with the EB having a better ET. At least that is what the powerband would suggest. But I drive a turbo Skyline so I don't know what my opinion is good for.

I was also interested in the reaction time. Usually people that don't race much (like me) can have crappy reaction time. So one car could easily get 1/2 to a full car right off the light.

That is true, and with similar power whoever gets out in front is going to stay there. That is the beauty of drag racing, anything can happen.

Sounds like you two had fun.
Of course there are always other factors... like mentioned - driver skill, number of people in the car, what's in the trunk, level of fuel, any other weight comparisons, engine/tire warmth, etc..
But in the end, engine vs engine you should have won... so nice job.

One time I gave him like a second or 2 second head start while I was still brake boosting, Then I went and hunted him down. The second time I just stomped the gas and he couldn't keep up.
The low end torque of the eco helps it get off the line fast espicially if you brake boost. Also the 3.55 gears help out a lot.

I'm in the southwest region of PHX, but drag racing isn't my cup of tea. I live vicariously through others when it comes to racing. I've had mine for 2.5 months and have only topped out at 90 mph.
