What im really wondering is why is everyone on the racing forum talking about Eclipse's? I would think that 3000GT's would be talked about more for racing, but im not sure, so any input would be helpful. a 3000GT would smoke an Eclipse wouldnt it? Thanks in advance.

The 3000gt cost $29,000 originally (at least a 92 SL). Kids usually buy things under 5k as they have little to no budget. Given a steady rate of depreciation you should just now be seeing kids driving 3000gts. hahaha, hence me now owning one. :clap:

A healthy stock 3000GT VR-4 with a decent driver should have it's way with any stock eclipse except maybe a GS-T from a roll on the highway. As soon as you start talking modding cars it's only limited by who wants to spend more money. I don't have enough experience racing the NA FWD, so your on your own for that one.

The 3S is a touring car, its nice on the inside, can go fast as **** while providing a very smooth ride. Stock for stock a 3000GT will rape an eclipse.
