you guys almost forgot that the 06 eclipse has Mi-tec. As much as I would hate to admit it, it will probably pull pretty hard on top-end but it depends on how good it is.

I was just wondering if it was true or not. If it is true then the previous owner must have also got it tuned to take the governer off or something because it definetly goes over 112!

Sorry to burst any ones buble. But the 2000 and up to 2005 eclipse top out at 155mph. And the GT only has 200hp and the GTS has 205hp.
The mods for a mustang cost pennys to what the mods cost for an eclipse.
Not to be rude or anything but a V6 mustang gets walked over by anything on the road.
The only way a eclipse wins over a V8 mustang is if the eclipse is rolling but the mustang will win of the start from a stop.
And never herd of an MI-Tech but i do know they have a sportonic transmition. Witch alows the eclispe to shift from one gear to another like a manual but with out the clutch.
It is not an automatic transmition since the automatic only alows you to shift up to 3rd and not up to 4th.
The eclipse is a high mantainice car.(cost more to keep it going then it is worth)

Not to be a d*ck or anything, but why did you bring back a thread that is almost a year old, just to say what you said? This thread is DEAD, leave it like that.

His first post too...

I raced a previous generation Eclipse GT at the track... he ran 16+ seconds... wasn't even close.

And... not all V6 Mustangs get walked by quite everything on road...

I beat an Ecclipse in my 87 VW Golf. Granted the high speed of the race was 50 MPH...

And what year are we talking about here, cause this is all over the place. Just making sure your not talking about the 90-99 dsm's, you'd be hard pressed to find any car that mods as well as these.

Ha Ha
This was a funny thread.
Lot of of you guys sure hate Eclpises.
They can be quick though my Eclpise is going to be pretty snappy once finished. 300WHP.
But i LOVE my mustang.
Both are fun.
