BUSCHAR ECLIPSE
first of all that thing isnt even an eclipse. thats a fully built mitsu drag car, rear wheel drive tube frame disaster. wtf. eclipse people take ---- to the heart. anyway that buschar car is as close to an eclipse as the lingenfelter is to a 4 sec funny car with a corvette bosy on it. give me a break. compare apples with apples. eclipses are overrated.

ok then look down the list a little at the stock body cars...this is how ill end it...dollar for dollar (im talking used), eclipses for the most part cant be beat for the amount of speed they have with little mods...that said, i own a civic and a 3000gt

Re:OMG *nuts pants*
eclipses are just like any other ~2 liter turbocharged cars. there isn't anything special about them. of course you can turn the boost up, then you can put in rods and pistons, but you can do that to any engine. there isn't anything special about eclipses.

Motor Trend May 1997 VR4 top speed:155.7, this is the second gen model with the six speed and upped boost from the factory... maybe the earlier five speeds with lower boost pull a higher top end, but I haven't seen it, if so please show me... no flame intended, I would just like to see it.

dollar for dollar maybe
my roommate has a 90 gsx and he started off with that dollar for dollar crap and look at him. he bought his car minus an engine for 1750, engine 1100, awd tranny rebuild 1000, afc 300, 16g turbo 600, boosting 15 psi and hes fairly smart when it comes to tuning eclipses, and he ran a ------- 14.4. My friend with a stock sr20det in his 240 beat him @ 14.0. not i dont know how out of tune this is but ----, i could make a honda dollar for dollar that could beat that.
