Funny lil story about Eclipses...For some stupid reason before leasing my Type-S, I was looking into leasing an Eclipse GT Spyder... My interest quickly stopped when I actually got in that car and drove it. What a p.o.s.!!! Just like a mustang...all plastic...Pure cheese. Anyway the moron dealer actually has the audacity to quote me a lease price of $550/month with 2,000 down...HAHAHAHA I laughed and walked out. Was that guy on crack or what? Needless to say, I got a great deal on my Type-S and paid alot less than I would have with the schmuck at the Mitsu dealership. As for racing a new Eclipse GT, it wouldn't even be close!!!

My last car was a black 97 GSX, now that was the last car mitsubishi put out that had some serious balls. Mitsubishi really messed up by taking away that all wheel drive turbo monster. I just got back from vacation where I rented an 01 Syder. NO BALLS! This car was soooooooo weak I almost got in an accident twice trying to speed up on Orlando's treacherous roads.

New Elcipses don't look that good compared to older ones and since the turbo and awd are gone, they just kinda suck.

I must agreee, my sis's bf has a 98 gsx with a 19c turbo(ported and clipped) and apexi megaphone dunk series exhaust w/ a 5" tip, air cleaner, downpipe, electronic boost control, large fuel injectors and a greddy BOV, this car is f'n serious, about 400 horses maybe more. But after the 99 gsx was finished, so was the eclipse, the new ones are shit.

"stangsrlame" ? lol... a guy with a low 15/high 14 second car calling stangs lame, that's funny. I see you live in old bethpage, I guess that makes us neighbors. You should bring your Type S down to Deer Park Ave once in awhile, I know quite a few Mustang guys up there who'd be happy to hand you your ass.

Tell them to race cross country... see how many actually make it without having some component fail. See my sig.

And oh yea, new Eclipses are shit...my friend has one. Heavy, ugly, and wannabe American muscle. Except theyre slow.
