Welcome
I have not ever gotten a really good run but, I did mess w/ a chick in one. I have to say, that they are peppy. I guess I will have to see how they stack up from a dig w/ me this year.

The new ones are nice but I miss the mid to late 90's body style. I had a 97 GST spider / black top convertible. The only reason I had to get rid of it was my first daughter. I just couldn't get a car seat into it. I haven't driven the new ones but I'm sure there pretty peppy.
I would like to note, I will never ever own a high-powered front wheel drive car again....

What I noticed is that it is now a V6 but the displacement is small, almost would have been better to keep the 4 cyl with the same displacement.
They run good, look great with a set of nice rims, any bolt on turbo kits for it yet or supercharges?

RE: 2006 Eclipse GT
my mom just bought a new Eclipse GT M6 on saturday. I'm not gonna lie, it is pretty quick (i chirped the tires in 2nd gear), but it cant hold a candle to my GT. Now, in all honesty, i still think it would take quite a bit of aftermarkets to compete with even a stock GT
not saying that you are full of sh*t, but i think it would take a whole lot more than an intake and exhaust to beat a GT by 2-3 car lengths...

Could have been Mustang driver erro, or rockie syndrome.

Those GTs have ran low 14s so I don't see why you couldn't run a 13.8 with one. That is still one hell of a time and you can drive your *** off. I did run a new GS(probably automatic) and put train lengths on it at the track
....I would've thought they made the 4 bangers a little faster...11.8[8D](in the 1/8th)

meh, only eclipse's worth getting would prolly be a 1st or 2nd gen turbo model.

not only do these engines scream "mod me" they also have the torque where the previous platforms fell flat
