dude this is a bass ass car. this eclipse looks like da 2g and 3g and i am definetly gonna buy this eclipse but i am still gonna keep my 2000 eclipse gt because its fast and furious. why does everyone cry about da eclipses not coming with a turbo when they are better off with a v6 engine, some people cant understand that eclipses will no longer come turbocharged and thats good because their better off with a v6 engine. i have a 2000 eclipse gt and it smokes every single car i race and mine is stock so i dont know why everyone wants a turbo eclipse and if they want one then just buy da 2g gsx and stop hating on da 3g and 4g because them v6 eclipses look badazz and they r very fast.

heheh they just took the FTO engine and made is tuned it better hahaha for the new eclipse that is, its fairly nice

I LOVE THIS CAR I HOPE TO GET IT... To bad no sweet body kits are out yet. I'm going to build a derby car of it for my brother's pine wood derby no rules class B)

I think its even better in person!!!! :wub:

me too

where did you find those pics

from another forum. i think the car was in texas. i cant really see the license plate though

so there won't be a 4-cyl option anymore? ....

yes there is...

2.4l 4cyl - 165hp, 4speed auto or 5spd manual
3.8l V6 - 260hp, 6spd manual

To 2000 eclipse Gt : I also have the same car but turbo is still something very badass, eventhough your car is stock there are other stock imports that could beat you very easily, turbo is still something to have

i'll stick with the first 3gens. 1 is my favorite, followed by 2 then 3. this new one looks like they were really in a hurry for a new body design and tried to throw a 2g and a 350z together.

i think im am going to test drive one just to see what its got under the hood

I wanna buy one so bad....but I wanna wait to see if they gonna make a turbo one...or at least awd...or more hp!!!!!
I live for speed!

any word on when these are rolling out? :wub:

ive heard around mid summer

2000EclipseGT so what you're saying is, your 2000 GT is just the fastest thing to grace the Earth? Bench racing is stupid but here goes anyway - 2000 Eclipse GT goes 0-60 in 6.9 sec and 1/4 mile in 15.3 or so... 2005 STi STOCK goes 0-60 in 4.6 sec and does the 1/4 mile in 13.3 or so... That's more than a 2 second difference to 60 and a 2 second difference through a quarter mile. So you're right I guess, who needs a turbo and all wheel drive?
