Civic Vs Eclipse GT

Do you think that a civic can take out an eclipse gt (200HP V6) with boltons?

in a straight line? No...unless you bolted on a K20.
In twisties maybe...I drove the eclipse GT and it handled like a pig. But that would be all driver skill.

If you want stoplight kills....pick on 4cylinder galants, geo metros, Kia spectras, and anything driven by an old lady with blue hair (her car could beat you....if she could see over the dashboard)

I have a GT and raced a Civic Si ( canadian ) from a dead stop ... beat it .... So likely, no ... and the GT handles better than the Civic, whoever said it handles like a PIG, I mean its no STI but it handles better than the civic IMO ....

My cousin has a Eclipse GT, it doesn't handle like it should. My car handles alot better then the Eclipse, especially at low speeds. The eclipse just feels massive and impricise around turns, and very shaky at its limits.

Well, Like i said, I have owned both and from what I feel I think the Eclipse handles better .... its the 03 so they've had 3 years to get it right .... corners pretty well and comes out of the corners with some speed...

"there point"??? I was just saying if their was any problems with the suspension in the 2000 models they have had 3 years to fix it .... kind of like the radels and tranny problems in the 2001 civic models .....
