Default '06 Eclipse...

Damn... I raced a GTS (Or whatever the fast ones are) Eclipse in my dad's Blazer (Just to see how fast they are) GOD DAMN! I was impressed... 263 hp... Not bad.

My dads blazer isn't too bed considering I know how to drive it... I still beat most of those 'tuner' Civics that throw an exhaust tip on it and act like hardasses...

But I didn't expect it to be that fast... I bet it rivals the WRX STi...

I like the new '06 Eclipse. Great design in my book, and a lot of power to boot.

the new Eclipse is nice, but i just wanted to know if there keeping the older style GTS's cause i love the way those things looked. The only snag i found out with the newer Ecplise's are a lot more expensive then other cars that are comparible to it, or atleast i read that from a couple of reviews

Close, but no cigar to WRX Sti. Almost on par though with a Z though, I'd say.

Hehe. Really, the only thing close to the STi is the Evo, or maybe even the Elise (gotta pay about $10k more though for that). I still like the Eclipse though. Mitsubishi did a great job with it.

Good luck gettin' a Evo... I've riden in a STi and I wasn't too impressed... They're fast but not all they're cracked up to be... Stats aren't everything. just because a car CAN run a 14 second quarter that doesn't mean someone on the street can run that car that fast...
