They are pretty darn fast + it has MIVEC which is similar to hondas v-tec only better from what a dealer told me when we were lookin' for a 05 lancer with mivec for my fiance. The dealer told me that it's better than v-tec but it kicks in at a lower RPM.

I'd say that run low-14s @ 95mph+ with a solid driver. So watch out for 'em.

RE: race against the new eclipse
I dont see how they're giving a gt a run for thier money.. they're rated at 263hp/260lb ft of tor for a 2006 and isn't light either.. at 3472lbs curb. They're heavier then us, and equal at hp but seriously lacking in torque... by what 50lbs per ft?? I've never seen one of these run but the rumor is, is that they're running with SS Cobalts.. in the mid to higher 14's...

I love having cars that I don't have to worry about stuff like that. I read all these threads about getting beat by Civics and Eclipses. If you're getting beat up by imports, why don't you do something about it?

.. don't knock on the stang just because your LS2 is a beast that gives me nightmares and makes me cry like a little girl at night 
... no not really but anything pontiac (favorite make) I respect and the new GTO's are godly... I test drove a black one with red leather and I thought I was going to cream myself... it was a 5.7 and I still was more happy than a maggot on a gutwagon

I haven't seen a Cobalt SS/SC have a problem with the new Eclipse V6 yet. But then again both are sucky WRD (wrong wheel drive) and the SS/SC has the better power to weight ratio.
And don't even bring up the BS of 205HP.
