HOLY CRAP!! check out the date of the first post.... what the hell is this doing here?
on another note if they made a AWD large single turbo MI-VECH model of the newest eclipse I would be signing on the dotted line...
that thing would be a beast

That's cool. I believe I know where those apartments might be. I think I had some friends live in there...but if your ever around here, we should get together. Shoot the breeze maybe!!

From a 30 roll I murdered a GT eclipse(the 200hp GT model) he sprayed on me and caught up but his bottle was done before the run was. I have a 2000 V6 with duals and a CAI

The new ones have 263 hp...but there really heavy and they only run like 14.8@93 in the quarter...with your mods you should have been pretty close...A 5 speed could have made the difference.
If I remeber right they ran something like 14.2 at 103? or something. The 2000-2005 ones are slower but the new 06 ones are comparable to most gt's.
No way any stock eclipse, even the new ones, is running a 14.2 at 103 MPH.

High 14s at best.

People down the road from me have 3 eclipses they are all newer ones but not the newest. They think they are the ****. I raced the 'fast' one. It's red and has some wanna-be lowenhart wheels, lowered, that's all I could tell from the outside. He was on my *** on a residential road and was turning side to side like he's in damn nascar or something. Anyway, my friend and I were going to the mall and got on I-92 and he was still on my ***. So I got next to him and he floored it. I had just got my heads put on a couple days before. So I floor it, gain on him quickly, and pass him quickly. I shut down at 115. He did a flyby when I was back down at 65. He hasn't ridden my *** since. My car is rated 260/330 stock but it's a damn tank, so it's not as fast as it could be. So much for the 'fast' one.

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.
Good to hear someone else is into both cars, good luck.
