If that GS-T is well maintained and modded on any level then, the TL-S is toast. Stock vs stock though, I'd go with the TL-S.

GST's go to 60 in about 6.5 seconds i believe. not sure what a auto type s does - maybe 6.2?

Having had both cars, stock they are pretty much the same, maybe TL might be a little bit faster (and I mean little bit). But with any mods on the eclipse, is will smoke the TL. There is just so much more potential on those cars than the TL. I miss my eclipse now.

are eclipses not reliable. I've been looking into getting a 97-99 eclipse spyder (convetible) either a GS or a GS-T. Anyone have any specific experiences or know anything about these vehicles?

ok are you talking about manual or auto for GS-T? Because auto 1995 GS-T stock are slower than a TL-S THey go 7.4 0-60 sec time. so i dont know what everybody is talking about... HOw much faster are the manuals???

and... of your course if you put a turbo its gonna be faster .....

my buddy had one in high schol about that age(he got it about a 2 year old one) his senior year it was a turd. just it wouldn't run right. the turbo lag on it was horrible. it seemed like every weekend he was fixing something on it. the eclipses have a lot of Dodge parts on it i heard. Dodge=POS. No way I'd have one.
