stock the old eclipse's where ok. with very little mods u can hit 12's WITH minimal mods.

the hondas well there hondas. and with a lot of money can be fast. I would buy a honda if i want reliable nice handling vehicle, not really for speed. However with enough $ anything can be fast.

I had a 95 Eclipse non turbo. With rims and a blown engine I ran a 15.9. (my engine had almost no compression and stalled at some lights, blue smoke, it was aweful) They def have a lot of tourque, I miss that car. Integra GSRs and Type-Rs are fast, they usually kill me in third. Non vtec hondas haven't been a problem, haven't lost to one yet. V6 cougars are fast though watch out for 'em (manuals are). And the Celicas are pretty quick too, even the gt ones can be quick if it'sa good driver.

prety much anything out there can beat our cars, without ours having serious upgrades, or the old lady you're racing doesn't know how to drive.

I beat a RS Eclipse 5 speed with a muffler, lost to a 5speed at the track (ran a better time than him the next time i went to the track though). We can have a good race with NT Eclipse, 4cyl cougars, we can beat all but the SVT focus, the GT celicas are a decent run...

eclipses suck, they have too many problems. after 50,000 miles they just start to break down completely. the GSX and GST models however are pretty damn fast. bit theyre still eclipses. the integras are pretty fast. RS,LS,GS are basically the same thing except for different interior and exterior mods.they all have the same dohc b18 non vtec. the GSR and the type R are were the integras really shine. preludes are pretty fast, and del sols can be fast with just a few mods if theyre the dohc because theyre so light and small.

Damn, that's why I haven't raced since I got my piping and muffler, and a CAI because my car is so different now. Launching it now is a pain, I can't find the RPM to get it just right

eclipse would own anything a honda makes dollar for dollar. PERIOD. turbo > NA. they do not fall apart my 90 eclipse 90,000 miles on it. It never had any problems. *shrug* would own any production honda in its price range.

I wouldnt want to mess with the older talons (which get mistaken for the eclipse all the time). I made this mistake once. I didnt read the bumper and it was a TSI me smoked me. Cant even mess with a turbo all wheel drive
