i love that generation eclipses...like chads bro...they look so awesome!

Man.. I HATE when people base their whole opinion off of a car because they know one person with a bad experience. My friends parents had a early 3rd gen camaro and it was a total pos so now they talk bad about every camaro they see and refuse to let my friend get a 4th gen.

yes but on the other hand it would piss you off if you dunked 10k in performance and it falls apart a couple months after you fix it. first impression is everything, including a car to some people. to each their own.

one guy i know, has a first gen Talon TSI AWD and a turbo Laser fwd. he payed 3 for his talon, put a grand into it and he kept up with an LT1/LS1 in VERY hot weather. i cant remmeber what kinda camaro it was but it had exhaust and sounded like headers too. either way, his cars are both pretty fast for what he has put into them. he also has a friend with pretty minimal mods that is running low 12s. i like those cars and they are prolly the first import i would buy if looking at one, even tho i think they are still american, i mean 4 cylinder "tuners" lol.

I've met one person who hasn't had trouble with an eclipse/talon

yeah my friend has a turbo 94 eclipse that runs a 13.9. crazy ****, he might even get a chance to be in import tuner. its probably the only right hand drive first gen in the US, since theres no kit he did it himself. this guy has tons of custom, home made stuff, and its not too shabby. lambo doors, interior panels removed, yet it still looks good. i respect that ****.

werd, guys that do it rite deserve respect

yes they do, but as soon as the garish stuff goes on the body they get harrassed (I don't car what kind of car it is)

the guy i know has NOTHING that would make you think of it as a ricer except the big exhaust pipe, but its all custom exhaust and downpipe and a lot of other crazy stuff.

ya but big exhaust pipe doesn't mean its a ricer, all the catbacks for those cars have bigtips, thats just how they're made. and to tell you the truth alot of them look **** good w/ a high end catback, even if it is a lil on the big side for most of ur tastes

WOW, i ate me a GS-T yesterday by like 6 car lenght incounting. They were fast when I had a 6 but not anymore. I lost respect for all eclipse.

haha, and thats the way it should be. 4 cylinder vs. 8 cylinder= 4 should get owned

should and do sometimes are different though

While at the RSD's last night that was probably running low ten's at the slowest. It was exteremly fast and it wasn't a drag car, completely street legal and he drove it 30min's to get there.
