Aren't you the guy who comes by here once in a while to tell us how much you hate TL's and how much you wish you had a Lexus? I'm pretty sure you are, so what's the deal now, pimping some eclipse forum?

I hope you're prepared to own a car like that..... not just driving-wise but also maintenance wise. Modded turbo cars can be a huge PITA unless you get quality parts, get it tuned properly and know how to take care of it.

That's not him. Hes the one who made the thread about the TL being too fast.

Eclipses GS-T = Notoriously Unreliable money pits



Save up and buy something worth having.

No, he's the one who made the thread about the TL being the gay car since Camry V6 is faster than TL.
























just buy an used camry v6 as your weekend car. that'll be fun, eh? take it to tracks often and see what it can do for you.

Those cars are un-reliable and if you don't know how to fix them and maintain them you will screw yourself over hard. My friend has 95 talon and it's always in the shop getting something done to it and he only has 300awhp. He spent so much money on it just on repairs its ridiculous.
