Ah, that's true. Good point.

Hey Polygon, I've seen Jettas that would slap your car silly (2nd gen w/ a G-60 and VR6 GLX come to mind). Let's be real, a "girls car" c'mon, what is a girls car? I consider a a Porsche GT2 a girl car because I'm sure you can pick up all kinds of girls driving it. For the record though, most of the eclipses around here are driven by girls... those, dodge avengers and 3000gt/stealths.

A girl car is car that girls drive not a car that you pick up girls in

like a beetle, that's a girl car..... how many girls do you see drivin Porsche GT2s

I think there needs to be a distiction made here The 2G DSMs are girl cars The 1Gs are not. They are ugly "Only a mother could love something like that" hp monsters The 1G DSM was made for a man specifically with only one thing in mind: Performance. The 2Gs...well, they're girly Fast...but girly

Bahahahahahahah!
Muaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahha!

HIGH 14 sec car (Eclipse) vs LOW 13 sec. car (Z28)....
Ummm, yeah, if the driver had 1 arm and no legs its POSSIBLE!

Don't get me wrong, DSMs can be made EXTREMELY fast (I've toyed around with a few quick 16g turboed DSMs), but stock vs stock is no contest. Even the GSX would get spanked.

Sorry. The Eclipse GS-T and under, is a mufuggin girl car.

Now excuse me while I elaborate. I have seen too many girls riding around in these cars that have simple mods; such as body kits, exhaust, maybe rims. Now, if you're a guy driving an Eclipse GS-T with added suspension, and you can beat a stock Z-28.. that.. is a Man's car.

(If someone says adding suspension wont allow you to beat a Z, I'm a beat yer ass, cuz I'm not implying that...*shakes heads* ... idiots.)

Actually, GS-T's have some ballz if they are modded at all...

HIGH 14 sec car (Eclipse) vs LOW 13 sec. car (Z28)....

Maybe it's just my elevation up here in New England, but I'd like to see a stock Z28 run low 13s. A couple of the ram-air guys are pretty fast, but the Z28s are not all that fast up here.

Again, maybe it's the elevation (I don't know much of how that effects a naturally aspirated car), but most are running mid 14s in stock trim here. It only took a couple mods and I was winning races on the track against them all the time.

I'm not much for street racing, so I can't really relate to how the Z28s do on the street, but I'm no longer afraid of most domestic V8s on the track..... F150 Lightnings...now there is a sleeper... Be afraid...be very afraid....

OUCH!!! Such a wonderful car being limited by the tranny...any shift kit or anything in the future???

Mods --->
-All Free Mods
-Ported 14B Turbo
-Ported M/T Exhaust Manni
-Open Element Intake

Is this a ported 2G Exhaust manny, or the 1G? Any idea how much better than a regular 2G E-manny it is??

Got Boost?

Yes. Yes I do

Well, I'm at sea level and ROUTINELY see low 13 sec. Camaro's/Trans Am's.
Just a FYI for ya, the Z28 and "Ram Air" Trans Am or Camaro SS are all equal in performance. The gain in performance over the Z28 or regular T/A you get with the WS6 (Ram Air T/A) or SS is slim to none. Basically just a looks type deal.

PS- My car went [email protected] with a 2.0 60' STOCK.

[gang$tarr]

12.9 stock?! bullshit!! that's just kinda hard to believe... a Ferrari F355 does the 1/4 in 13s and it weighs approx. 550 pounds less and it has approx 55 more HP!

I'd have to agree with this. I've done a lot of racing this past summer and I didn't see a single "stock" car do 12s except a couple Vipers with cheater slicks, much less a V8. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure your car is plenty fast..but 12s stock? I'd have to see that before I would believe it.

[Blackbird01]

A Viper with ET Streets (cheater slicks) SHOULD run EASY high 11's.

I actually HAD the [email protected] timeslip scanned, but it was about a year ago and don't have it on my computer.
If you don't believe me, go ahead and check out www.LS1Tech.com.
Ask a couple people on the sight if they've ever heard of a '01+ F-Body running 12's STOCK.
I'll bet you more the 1/2 the people you ask say "Yes"
By the way, the Ferrari is a high revving motor, so it takes a while for it to make that "55hp" more. Not to mention it's got IRS, which is CRAP at a dragstrip. With the live rear axle and flat power curve, there have been more then a handful of LS1's breaking into the 12's BONE STOCK.

If you don't believe me, oh well...
I'm not out to prove that the LS1 is God.
But it sure as hell would take a LOT more then a stock GSX to beat one.

In fact, I raced a 1st Gen. DSM with a 16g turbo, downpipe, boost controller, full 3" catback with a gutted cat...
He found out real fast what it's like to get out 60 footed by a RWD car ON THE STREET!


But I have to agree with you all on one thing. The DSM is a great car. It's got a TON of potential and has very good aftermarket support.
If I was looking for a fast winter car (AWD) it would easily be either the GSX or WRX...

To me there is no such thing as a car that belongs to a certain gender. I think the thing that makes it a guy or a girl car is what you do to it and the way you drive it. No way is an Eclipes a girl car. Plus the way girls drive they would kill themselves in an Eclipes(not all girls just most of em).

I cannot see a male above the age of 16 or 17 driving a Geo Storm. I think when it comes to "gender specific" cars, the Storm is female driven 99% of the time.

Personally I see the Eclipse as a "girls car". But not specifically a girl-only car.

Just usually girls like the styling of the eclipse, every girl I know wanted an eclipse at one point in their life. And everyone I know who owns an eclipse is a girl except for one (and i am helping him mod his).

I like Eclipse's though, they are fun to mod. Personally I chose a Nissan Maxima SE 2002... Before I decided to get it I wanted an Eclipse

Hell, I like modding cars so much I just fucking bought my friend a CAI because he didnt want to spend money on one but wanted one... and I wanted to install it. lol
