Confirmed Kill / Mitsu Eclipse w. fart muffler

[miker]

I love it, I'm coming back from the local car wash during lunch and this dumb ass with a Mitsu Eclipse wants to race. I ignore him and get a good look at his piece shit car, 5" coffee can fart muffler (w. zero back pressure), ground effects, stickers, but factory wheels and tires.

At the next light he's waiting for me and on green decides to tear out and catch second. I decide to give it the old college try and not only catch up with him but also blow by him at a buck ten. He decided he's had enough and at the next light he was several cars back.

Buddy this is your Misubishi wake up call! No. 1, the Eclipse sucks ass! No. 2, your car was faster without the two grand in "modifications". No. 3, get your stupid ass a job and stop harassing the workin' man on his lunch break.

Mitsu Eclipse don't suck. If you get the turbo they are fast. They will blow the max any day. I kinda want a faster car. Maybe a Mitsu Eclipse turbo awd. I like the 95 body, people don't get pissed at me, i have a 95 max and 17 years old. I kinda want a fast car.

Nobody's going to get mad at you for stating your opinion, but if I where you I'd look into the Subaru WRX. I couldn't consider it because the back seat's too small (2 kids and fat cat clients), but hey, your 17 and need the back seat only on weekends to fool around with the ladies!

95 max's are fast cars. they can beat preludes and integras in highway battles because they're v6's. and the 2k2 max run's 14 second 1/4 miles. and does 0-60 in low 6's. thats mustang gt territory. the max is one of the best sleepers. it definitly shuts most ricer honda boys up.

If you get a turbo eclipse and put a few grand in it and you'll be in the 12s or 13s

ill take a 94-98 gsx anyday

Damm, u cant compare the two. there are so many breeds of dsm's (eclipses, talons, lasers). They range from 90hp (1.8) - close 190hp (2.0T)

And a GSX with a ~1200 in mods, could run sub-13.5 1/4 miles,

Fastest so far is 8.2, NO NOS. (david burchur)

and i'm not knocking on max, their sweet cars, but just not as upgradable as some other cars out there.

Honestly, I think you're smokin' somethin' strong :smoka: , but that's my opinion!!! The only way you MIGHT beat it is if you have your ride supercharged and that was a stock 94-98GSX?! Other than that, there's no way! I love my Max, but my man has a 98 GST w/a few mods and it's quick! So I'm talkin' from experience...not word of mouth!

Guys,

Before my 97 Max SE (had to get a 4 door.. no choice with 2 kids!) I had a 90 Talon TSI (AWD, 5 speed) It was quick... with the AWD, no wheel-spin. Before my first child was born, I was shopping around for a newer model.. maybe 95-97 (They stopped making them in 97, the Talon at least) Was kinda pissed when the wife said "TOO SMALL!"
So I had to look for something sporty, but big enough for the family.. hence, the Maxi. Not regretting it in the least.

The Talon/Eclips TSI/GSX are quick cars. Even without any mods.
Just my 2 cents,

Geoff

On 15 psi, the DDP V-6 Turbo System will make 400hp with the right additions/alterations. This system is one of many applications impacting Eclipse performance. It has been heard of up to 495hp-500hp gains with suitable adjustments. Thus, creating a new field of expermentation with Eclipse performance. I can assure you that this is just the beginning of greater things to come.
With this kind of power, the Eclipse has beond doubt more performing potencial, and as far I'm concerned much more of an aesthetic value than a Maxima will ever.
Nissan makes awesome cars, However, if we are talking about performance the Z is the genuine article.
A 3.0 24 valve intercooled/turbo charged Eclipse can unquestionably out-perform many of its rivals.

The Maxima's design is not as aesthetic , less appealing to the eye (surely my opinion). I just favor the over all qualities pertaining to the mitsubishi eclipse.Also, the new Maxima body style is not as "racey" as the older body, in fact I like the old school style better it kind of reminds me of an older skyline.
Any way, both the Maxima and the Eclipse have proven to be awesome rides, they both have there pros and cons generaly speaking.
It all depends on individual taste. . . . . . . . . .

1. Welcome to AF
2. Way to resurrect a dead thread
3. How many well tuned Eclipses do you run into? I have yet to find one but the Maxima performs better than expected, straight from the factory. Properly reinforced, the VQ engine can produce 1500HP and is claimed to be more bulletproof than the 2JZ engine that was used by Toyota in the Supra line. If budget weren't an issue and the choice were between your DDP system and my reinforced VQ, I'd take the VQ anyday.

You don't want back pressure on a turbo Eclipse.

My 1992 AWD Talon ran 12.4@110 back in the late 1990's with only $1500 in mods.

There are some extremely fast AWD Turbo Eclipse/Talons out there folks.
