I bought the new issue of Modified Magazine with the picture of the nice looking S2000 on it, mainly because I can't work on my car right now. I like to admire the cars that everyone else builds, as I dream about mine being how I want it. Anyways, I start reading though it, and I hit near the center of the mag(pg 42), and I see an Eagle Talon. Now I know it isn't exactly an Eclipse, but it doesn't matter. When was the last time you saw a Mitsubishi that wasn't an Evo have any magazine cover? Unfortunately, they don't know how to update their website, so they think they are still in April, where as I am reading October! I am going to give you a breakdown of the pics, because I am a wonderful person! There are 7 of them that show the exterior (3) and interior (2) and engine (2)! See? Awesome right?

Yeah... it's a sexy beast, too bad you guys can't see it. Only one small problem, and that's that the front bumper doesn't seem to fit right...

It has 726 AWHP and only runs a 10.4 in the 1/4... what is this a supra?

I done seen better.

Actually, it still has functioning heater, lights, wipers, windows, sun roof and all that jazz, so I am assuming that is the result of all that weight.

And really the only reason I posted it was because it was in a magazine. How many Eclipses have you seen in a magazine? Even in the past 2 years, I have can only recall this one.

that cars owner, he is a member of dsmtuner

:werd:

but I see where you are coming from madhatter

I'm happy a talon made it in a magazine.

But like the joke goes... What do a 500 Horsepower supra and DSM have in common? They both run low 12's. Whats the difference between an 800 HP supra and DSM? the supra still runs 12's

Supras = dyno queens. Period.

haha

Not true. Drive one. ;) You'll fall in love

not true, I drove a turbo 89 and didnt fall in love, actually it was pretty slow to be honest

i've seen more supras in a wall at the track than benny hill has had sexy parties. they are better on the dyno

Drive a 93 or 94 turbo... you'll be happy.

yeah I will get right on that, due to them ALWAYS being around, NOT. lol I cringe when I see one and get excited

even though I am a fan of the supra's styling I'd still rather eat farts than drive one

^^ Can you actually do that?
