Re: New car Eclipse gsx or 3000Gt vr-4?

it all depends on how the car was taken care of for reliability! if you beat it, yea its gunna break down... anyways what are your goals? GSX is easier to make quick and much lighter, VR-4 are heavy but are quick bone stock!

If your'e not earning a bomb, the GSX should be the way to go. They can be modded for peanuts and is good on gas. The VR-4 is lightning fast bone stock, but modding it requires serious dough.

GSX, much cheaper and can be made just as fast/faster for nada.

Yes but a vr4 has ungodly good looks, its much more rare then a eclipse, and it will hold its value better.

I would choose the vr4 if i had the money. That would be more then fast enough for me stock.

Its not the poor mans ferrari, i sure cant afford one. Its the middle class mans ferrari.

nonono.... i think the eclipse has way better looks especially 97-99. it looks better than most cars out there. and the ones that look better than it are as much as half a house. lol.

im the only person i know with an AWD DSM, and i have 2. as for the stealth/3000gt vr4, they are probably just as rare. most people who drive vr4's around here are old people who dont let their kids drive em because they are too expensive.
