well i just progressived my payment 120 a month and eclipse is 124 a month so both right there and a 08 gt and i no i am asking a mustang forum and you are going to say mustang but why tho what is better

 

i love hearing people flip out about payin 20 bucks a month and tell me im crazy for payin that much. im only 20 yrs old go to college have a full time job and live in brooklyn. thats how i pay so much.

 

wow!

 

NO new eclipse gt (dont they only have like 260hp and weight almost the same) can beat a new a gt, stock for stock of course

 

the eclipse does look pretty nice.......in my rear view mirror.

i like that there are tons of after market stuff for the mustang and you can reallybuild it to how you want it pretty easily.

 

I never said stock, I've seen a few Eclipse GT's in the high 13's.

 

i had a 2000 eclipse GT and came over to a Mustang GT last October...get the mustang. I really enjoyed my eclipse, but compare power and weight of both cars (if you are wanting more performance out of your buy.) If I could have gotten a car 4g63 though (evo especially) I probably would have gone with that buy because that engine makes a lot of power really fast, really easy, really cheap. The new eclipse isn't worth it imo though.

 

I test drove both when I was in the market for the convertible. First, I test drove the Eclipse and thought "this is great". Then I test drove the Mustang and the dicision was made right there and then. IMO they don't compare. The Mustang is roomier in the cabin and felt much faster.

 

I just spanked an eclipse last night. Nuff said.

 

Drive them both, and I bet you buy the mustang. stock vs stock stang is faster/more power. You can custimize it the way you want it to make it your own. all around more fun to drive imo.
