side note: the STI that the other guy was being dumb about, he gave the wrong stats. it is 0-60 in 5.6 not 4.6 ....not even the corvette can do 4.6 so that was dumb of him, also its a sedan, which means its top speed is lower (by law, for the safty of passangers) so an eclispe could smoke it in a circut race. Also the new eclispe could smoke it in a drag race.. 0-60 in around 5.5 - 7 seconds

Holy ****, please dont tell me you're that much of a fool?!? :clap:

Am I reading this right?? You say an '06 GT will beat a WRX STi in a drag race as well as smoke it in a circuit race? What are you smoking, man?

It's funny that you dont even have 1 correct part in your post - EVERYTHING is incorrect. That is something to celebrate.
The STi doing 0-60 in 4.6 seconds is perfectly right. The top speed just touches 156mph in stock form, and faster with the limiter removed! It's handling is amazing, so is it's braking. As much as I respect the 4g GT 6spd I would be a fool to even think that it can touch an STi - they are on different levels of performance.

In short, just take your head out of your ****.

I didnt mean to write circut race, i know it cant win in that, since the sti is a rally car inspired thing. But by the drag race, i meant not a normal 1 mile bt long one, but thats just the beacasue of top sped limter. Plus i was slightly wrong on the stis acceleration, its 5.2 not 5.6 (oops) (also stock gt 4g can reach 162 mph. Notice im saying stock about all this, any car can go faster without a limiter. Im not that dumb, i wrote that when i was really tired and made a lot of mistakes. (oops)


sorry if i offended you, i dont know what car stats i was thinking of.....maybe like a ummm mustang gt or somthing........

(but those abouve stats on the sti are NOT wrong, ive benn to consumerreports, subarus site, and gone to various googeled sites for WRX STI so dont try to argue those. you can argue the eclipses accel, beacaue the stats on it have not been released

I'm surprised you took it so well...

But, can you show me a viable source that claims the top speed of the 2006 Eclipse GT V6 6spd is infact 162mph? I dont see that happening.

ive been in one! :) but my word is about it. sorry :( i could be wrong, but the uy driving said that he had bigger wheels (20's) so it meant you added 4 mph to the speed it read (which was 158mph) but if the speed reading differnece is wrong then maybe i am wrong.


do you own an sti?


(story time)

I was in my eclispe driving when a suburu wrx comes around a 90 degree tuen at 70, and skids outta control into oncomign traffic, then start wiggling back and forth trying to regain control, finally he got control and looked at me and gave a peace sign, like he did it o purpose. sooo......tats was funny..

I didn't see your 2nd post...
I am bias torwards Mitsubishi as well, as I own one and love it. But. I am not so bias to the point where I am clinically delusional.
Your 'above starts on the sti' are wrong though. They are not correct, it's that simple. The STi is quicker than your sources claim.
And the stats for the 2006 Eclipse GT V6 have been released by numerous sources. Such as Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Road and Track, and countless other less-popular magazines. You might try looking at some Good sources for a change - if you feel like experimenting.

if you want to get technical....my sources tell me that the STi does 0-60 5.0secs. and also, we are talking about stock....if the rev limiter is removed, then it is no longer stock.

and just FYI, the 3G gearing top speed is 172mph. so i have no doubt that the 4G would have close to that

The Sources you have, even though they are probably legit, they apparently didn't utilize the AWDs true launching abilities. They must have launched it like it was 2wd car - with ease. If you want the true potential of it's 0-60, you drop that clutch and launch that AWD like a bat out of **** to get a 0-60 of 4.6-5.0 seconds depending on climate, vehicle variability, driver variability, and a biggie, the elevation height where the air can be scarce.
STi spec sources:
Motor Trend - Evo 8 MR vs WRX STi
Cars101 - Subaru wrx and STi info. 0-60's
Yahoo! Auto 0-60
FantasyCars.com StatsMSN Auto 0-60 and other Stats
...I could keep on going. I understand that you have sources claiming 0-60 in 5.0+ seconds and I know why that is. Subaru guys know as well, it's well known to the Subaru community that the STi has a 0-60 hurdle of shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear beause of the ralley-style gearing that subaru gave it. So to get the best results, some testers actually exceed the redline and hit the fuel cut at 7200rpm to get the good times. Yeah it may be bad, but it works.

You're contradicting yourself, can you see?
If I remove the electronic limit (via speed sensor -> ecu-> fuel cut) of 155mph then it's no longer stock. That is true. Sure the GEARING allows the 3g Eclipse GT to get to 165mph with the 5spd and 172mph with the automatic but do you really think that's going to happen in this instance? I try not to compare apples to oranges (gear ability vs power limitation). If we talk about gearing, look at the ls1 F-bodies with the T56's...The Gearing will theoretically allow a top speed of around 289.5mph. That's funny.
The 2006 Eclipse is also limited electronically so the theoretical top speed from gearing is useless until you get the limiter removed. Removing the limiter = modified car.
For shits and giggles, let's see the theoretical top speed of the 4g Eclipse gt 6spd.
With the secondary (5th and 6th Final) final gear of 3.24:1, add on the wheel diameter, add the 6th gear ratio of 0.79:1 and you would get a theoretical top speed of 199mph at 6500rpm (redline). But we all know these theoretical top speeds are pretty much useless and just for fun.

you might want to check that fantasycars.com site again. if you read, it says "Japanese Spec" runs a 4.6 0-60.

car and driver has it at 4.9.
msn shows 5.0 for the 2004 STi.

ok back on topic....

All STi's are Japanese-spec, they did not produce one for America's market. The only reason we have the STi is becuase the Impreza 2.5RS sold so well back in the late 90s. this sparked the introduction of the Impreza WRX on the American market. Subaru couldnt meet demands for the WRX and was so impressed with its sales in the states that they finally gave us the STi. And now, for 06, we're gonna get the S203 (the true rally version of the STi). However, to compare an STi and an Eclipse is like comparing Mustang and Corvette. Forget the Eclipse, compare the STi to the EVOIX MR.... Who wins? Well we'll have to wait til this winter to find out for sure, but the 06 S203 and the EVOIX MR will battle it out good and hard until in Road and Track's Speed magazine's opinion, Mitsu takes it all :trophy:

I think you both have a little too much time on your hands, I wish I had that problem. Anyway, I own a 2006 Elclipse sunset pearl GT premium package, however with the sportronic, due to availabiltiy issues and waiting, and it tops out at 134 mph. The limiter sets in about 3400-3800, I really can't remember where in 5th gear. I also have ran it at the track, and although I was more than likely 4000 lbs or more, due to girlfriend, golf clubs, full tank, etc., we ran a repectful 15.10 at 94 mph. Now, that's not fast, but quick for a 4000 lb car, fully loaded that is. I didn't even get out of third, but there's plenty of torque and a lot of potential there. I can't say that I was really impressed, although I'm so happy with the car overall, but I'm used to running my ole man's duster at 9.50s through the traps at 150 mph...kind of difficult to compare these days. However, I do think the car could be bad ****, given the potential and the platforms stability. I just wish it was rear wheel drive and I wish I had the 6 speed.
