The 210hp rating is on 8psi, that's childs play, all it takes is a manual boost controller to surpass the new gt's.

they look alot better than the girly teenie bopper model before it.... I would say this is a pretty decent car considering the most powerful model before it was a turboed GSX which is AWD and put a whopping 210HP/240lbs to the wheels and pulled 14.8's-low 15's in the 1/4.... keep in mind it's pulling 14.0-14.5 N/A on a FWD ****box almost every run... if they gave it a big snail and let it graduate with AWD honors I think it would definitely be beastly

ugh...no. stock turboed eclipse's would have a hard time beating a 99+GT. def more than a boost controller.

Now, my talon was abused before i got it and it was a broken down pile 50 percent of the time i owned it, but when i had it running, i had a 2.5 inch cat back, stock cat, removed the aircan and a boost controller at 15 psi and it ran a 14.660@91.94mph. A friend of mine had an 01 GT 5 speed and the best he could manage was a 14.7, so all it really takes is an EXHAUST and boost controller... i have the timeslip if you dont believe me

Eclipse's are 100% GARBAGE!!!! Mitsubsishi needs to quit making the POS and stick with the LANCER EVOLUTION!!!!

Are U including the 1990-1999 turbo models in this? I hope not, because they are basically de-tuned EVO's

RE: Mitsubishi Eclipse GT kill
the second gen eclipses had crappy turbos, could not hold much boost past 10lbs. i could see a first gen eclipse with boost controller AND other bolt ons beating a STOCK 99+GT. not a second gen though. 90-99 turbo models do not even run half the boost that evos do!
