Hello I just wanted to talk about the eagle talon for a second . My brother recently purchased a 91 eagle talon, used to be a big chevy nova man 375 hp . I recently converted him to the foreign car scene, it was my 78z n/a and sideways action for about half a block fantastically controlled that won him over . Then I got showing him sentra's that would walk on his nova . I personally do not like the looks of the mitsu's, the Z beats them hands down in this category .
Now for the drivetrain the four wheel drive system is beautiful, I have never been in a vehicle that has driven that fast in the snow with so much controll . On a dry pavement autocross I would whip his ass though !!!
The motor is a sweet little 2 litre that puts out 190 hp at 10 psi boost . This is roughly the same as a stock zxt . Modification wise the talon has the edge it can run 300 hp in relatively stock trim (fuel pump i/c piping exhaust boost controller and 20 psi boost) all for $1000. Now it runs low 13 and high twelves . If you want 11's the mitsu is 10 times cheaper to do than the Z.
Nissan bitches and moans about putting out an affordable sports car . Hello look at mitsu it four wheel drive all the goodies visous slip diff . Nissan should price it identical to a talon, do a retro z look put the good old z suspension in it and an RB25T 230 hp in a 2600 lb car. By retro I mean same thing Porshe boxter vs old tub .
Wrapping it up the talons deserve a lot of respect, I personally would still not trade my Z for one ever . I would trade it for a Subara Impreza WRX though, Nissan Skyline should have a go at World Rally Championship . By the way I am a tad brainwashed by nissan, I own 78z, 88 pathfinder, dad owns 96 altima .
