hmmm...maybe decals really do give you that extra hp. I doubt our cars could be an eclipse even if it was stock.
it's cool... that happened to me once... i passed this guy in an eclipse and then i saw his i/c... i was like awww damn... i'm soooo sorry... and then he books and eats the crap out of me...

I know you guys are talking 98 and 99 Eclipses, but I was coming home from London Ontario with a fellow 7th gen civic (a member on this site) we were just passing each other as the lanes were empty on the highway, and he started to pass me, I shifted from 3rd to 4th and he was still pulling away ...... I finally caught up to him but if it was a race from a roll, i think it would have been close ...I'd love to race a 7th gen member just to see the difference ( i use to own a 2001 LX)

a stock eclipse turbo (98-99) would still beat a civic.

A little note to us 7th gen owners (for that matter, all Honda Owners.......except s2gman)
RS, GS eclipse.....Go for it
GSX, GST.........I hope you have spent a little money before you get into this fight.........
Those AWD Turbo bastards........I love to watch the old modded Talons smoke the new WRX's on the street, it makes me so happy
. This one guy has one by my house and he always is on the Blvd, his license plate is JUSA4CYL......thats awsome!

Well, I go tthe Canadian version of the 03 GTS. (GT "Premium") - and it is faster than my 01 Civic LX...but only when I'm in 3rd gear - the first to gears lag a bit ......it would be a race, but I'm sure th GT would take it in the end

The V6 eclipses are prett fast. A friend of mine has one and we run all the time. I pull on him off the line and throught first and second, but when he shifts in to third hes gone. But I think I do pretty good for my SI still being stock.
I was just wondering if we could take 2nd gen. RS and GS Eclipses because this kid at my school just got a 98' Eclipse GS and he's already got this dumb looking aluminum spoiler and some other stuff. As far as perfomance just exhaust I think. I may have give him a cooking lesson with my Civic. Ahhh, it shall be grand!!!
