Don't know but I spanked one pretty good in my 2002 f150. I was side by side with one at a light and they guy kept looking over at me and reving up the fart can he had on that thing. So I stompted on the gas and I beat him for a whole trucks lenght untill I let off the gas at 80 mph. Maybe he missed a shift........

I saw and heard the best thing the other day.. I was workin drive thru and we had a guy (mid 20s) come through with a newr V6 cougar (the small one that looks like the eclipse) with 2.5" duals on it.. It had a nice deep sound to it, not like the fart cans. It was pretty quick too.

I always use this link: http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html as my 0-60 and 1/4 mile ball park reference guide.
If you want an eclipse, get a 95-99 GSX...in manual of course!

I bought a new 2000 eclipse GT 5 speed (205hp) when that style first came out. Stock 0-60 is right around 7 seconds not sure of 1/4. Mine ran 14.4 in the quarter mile when i was done. We made a custom turbo system, front intercooler, exhaust , computer. With drag slicks it would have probably got in the 13's with some tuning, it would spin the fronts untill 3rd.

Car was about 25,000
The turbo system was fabricated by my dad and I so it wasnt real expensive, but took a long time to get right. I think I had about 3000 in it with the intercooler, turbo timer, and computer tuning.
Exhaust was 650
Intake was 200
The worst part was i only had it about 8 months, had over 33,000 in it, and then i sold it to get my truck. Only got 18000 for it.
