back to the question. a 2nd gen GSX has good potential especially if you drop in a 1st gen 6 bolt block. but the WRX has tremendous potential as well. Stock for stock the WRX should easily take an 95 GSX however about the Rx7 we need more info. what year is it and is it TT or not?

Re: Re: WRX vs. RX-7 vs. Eclipse
Compare year to year... Or even generations for the rx-7 vs eclipse... While the rx-7 gradually got better, the eclipse gradually got worse. Looks and performance wise.

Re: WRX vs. RX-7 vs. Eclipse
i would go with the rx-7. i think that the rotary engine is an awesome engine. i wouldnt pick the eclipse becasue i have never really liked them. i wouldnt pick the wrx because i dont like 4-doors, just a personal preference.

Stock for stock I would take the WRX over the GSX and RX-7. The WRX is faster than both and has AWD. Granted the GSX does as well but the RX-7 is RWD. The other problem is that the 2nd gen Eclipse are prone to crank walk, an expensive fix and don't even get me started on the reliability of the 13B.
Of the group I would take the WRX.

you ask me i say that the 95 gsx is better than the wrx or the rx-7. you can do so many more mods to an eclipse than you can to ur wrx. oh and by the way my cousins gs-t kicked the living shit out of a wrx sti by like .598 @ 117-8 mph . i'll stick to the eclipse. and while were talking about mitsubishi, i've seen plenty of wrx's put in thier place by the evo

Re: WRX vs. RX-7 vs. Eclipse
How much money did the gs-t have in it? I bet if you put the same amount in the STi, it would "kick the living shit" out of the gs-t. I'm talking about stock to stock. Not modified. And who ever said anything about the Evo? I'm not compairing an Evo.

Re: WRX vs. RX-7 vs. Eclipse
hi there...
check these two threads where our beloved lady has posted her view... check the last two pages in this forum http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=182567 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=184481 and now back to the question... since u want to compare the same amount of money in each car.. the rx7 ans wrx sti will cost a lot more than eclipse lets say around 6-7k more than eclipse gsx... and if u do proper mods with that money i bet u can beat both wrx and rx7.... prove me wrong in this... and also in drag racing the fastest time for an eclipse is somewhere in 8 seconds and i dont see any wrx or rx7 in 8 seconds... if u have the quater mile times plz let me know  and just now only i read ur latest comment... that is u are talking abt stock to stock... and the answer for this is maam nobody buys as eclips gsx or wrx or rx7 to keep it bone stock all their life  these cars are ment to be modified... and again if u r comparing stock to stock... compare also the price of stock wrx or rx7 with the stock price of eclipse gsx... gsx is cheaper and with little money it will beat both the cars... any comments?PS dayna240sx :- u were rude in the first place... u got bashed... u can't accept defeat... so u started this thread...

Re: Re: WRX vs. RX-7 vs. Eclipse
Sorry mate, but the fastest drag RX7 I know of is 6.99 seconds- faster than any Eclipse. There are also a few 7 second RX7's.
But you can't trash a 13B and have it respect you in return- if you overheat it you're going to be poor. Eclipse??? I don't know- they were left strictly for the US Market- but they sound OK, 'cept for the Crankwalk. So I'll take the WRX.

Modifications are an unfair assessment. If you put the same mods in an Eclipse as a WRX, the subaru will come out top. If you are comparing price vs performance, well, the eclipse wins. *BUT* keep in mind that the eclipse is an old car (the '95 being almost a decade old now), while a WRX is fairly new.
Frankly, you *can't* compare the two. To put things straight also, only a small percent of Eclipses suffer from crankwalk.
