Hmm, that's tough, but I'd give it to the Tiburon.

I really dunno much about either car. I believe the Tib has better gearing because it's a 6-speed, so that's a factor as well.

Re: 2000 eclipse GT manual vs 2004 Tiburon GT

i would put my money on the eclipse. i thought the tib's were kind of fast, but then one tried to race me, i just beat him so easily. the eclipse actually gives me a run for my money.

It's a driver's race for the most part. The Eclipse might have a slight edge if the drivers are equal.

Mitsubishi eclipse is manufactured for speed, tiburons are manufactured to break down, the eclipse would kill the tiburon, my buddies sister was looking at a 1997 tiburon and she wouldnt buy it because it didnt have enough power, stats are one thing racing is another.

I would go w/the Tiburon...best looking Tiburon so far out of the bunch...not saying much...but the Eclipse is lack luster
