new eclipse
I couldn't believe the numbers on that car 14.4 at 101.1 mph with 263hp/260ftlbs of torque very impressive for a front driver.This looks like a true replacement for my fwd svx.

It also looks pretty good too. That copper orange color looks awesome.

BAHHH its ugly as hell!!!... you should look into the threads about this eclipse on the dsm forums... Most, and I agree, think that the 98-99 (2gb) body style looks better than both of the traveshamockeries mitsu has release afterwards. and I'm sorry, but with the potential of the 4g63, theres no reason to not have that engine as an option in the new eclipse.

14.4 at 101.1 would be the result of a much better launch then most people could accomplish.

but thats all just my opinion.

It is not that ugly, kinda like a 350Z in a bubble shape.

My God, Mitsu had to go to a 3.8L to get that hourse power up.That is only 69.21 hp per liter. It still falls short of our own SVX, 69.70hp per liter. If you think about those number suck for a new car when ours is over 13 years old.

God I love the boxer 6

With the exception of the taillights, I love the new Eclipse. Now if Mitsu would do something about their reliability, I'd buy one

Honestly... if you want anyone to take you seriously, figure out the facts first. GM's 3.8 thats supercharged puts out 260 hp and 280 lb*ft of torque.

Not to mention peak horsepower is a very unimportant number as far as overall car performance goes.

I prefer the 3.3L Boxer 6 supercharged with the massive 345hp.

oh did I mention with only 6lbs of boost.

Americian pushrod motors are so sad. I.E. the new Corvette with its hand build suped up 6.0L makes 400hp. BFD that is still only 66.67hp per Liter. Still under the SVX.

just imagine a boxer 8 6.0L SVX n/a would be around 418hp AWD monster
