to begin,your girlfriends car should not even be close to being as fast as your car, does that not insult your man-hood? upgrade to the GT, why are you playing around with the v6... your better than that

It has a 2.4l 4 cyl with 162hp/162tq. The coupeweighs 3274 and add 200lbs to that for the vert. I couldn't find 1/4 mile times but it does 0-60 in 9.2 seconds if that tells you anything.

"Upgrade to a GT500, why are you playing around with just a 300 hp V8?" said the Shelby owner.

"Upgrade to a Ford GT, why are you messing around with Mustangs?" said the Ford GT owner.

"Why did you waste your money on a slower, new GT?" asked the Camaro SS owner.

Pointless statements..

To the original poster--the 2.4 Eclipses are not fast at all...and the convertible is even slower. Is yours a 5 speed? Try and find a 0-60 or 1/4 times for her car and compare to yours.

Shes an auto and 4 cylinder, you definately have her. If she was a manual 4 cylinder, it would be close but I think you would get her. If she had a v6 with a manual, you would be murdered, LOL. The new v6 Eclipses with manuals run mid to low 14's stock.

I think you have her, and if by some chance she beats you, then you upgrade to a V8 and show her you still wear the pants in the relationship.
