What kind of Eclispe did you have and year?

I had a 2002 GTS I just sold last year.

Nice find for 4500 smacks, can't go wrong with that.

I had a 1992 GS with the 1.8 motor. It was slow as hell. I actually had 2 of them, one I drove and the second to keep the running one going lol.

And I know this is a chick car which is why I wont be driving it for more than a year. It runs the same 1/4 time as a stock 2000 Vette so its pretty quick.

Do you have proof that those run that fast? I knew they were quick, but I didn't think they were that fast.

It was at a dealership called Regal Auto in Atlanta GA that my buddy owns. Whenever you need a car just let me know.

And I got the 1/4 mile time from here http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/Spec_Glance.aspx?year=2000&make=Volkswagen&model=Jetta&trimid=2128#trimsel The Vettes run a 15.5 and the VR6 a 15.8 so it is slightly slower.

The only mods on the list for now is a set of 17's and a magnaflow exhaust. Going to keep it pretty stock since it will be passed on to my g/f.

What!

Vettes from 2000 run faster than that. I don't have the info here, but I will look it up. My Focus ST with a few mild mods runs in the high 14's. I wouldn't even think of lining up next to a vette, lol!

Need to check this, but I see no Corvettes in the 15's, lol!

Is pretty funny, how I am faster than a lot of other sports cars on there.

You are correct. The site I was looking on was specific runs from their track and I thought it was a general 1/4 time chart. Didnt realize that until just now.

Ah, got ya.

Still interesting site nonetheless.

That site says my car runs 15 flat in the 1/4, but I run high 13's, low 14's, depending.

Then again, my car has a few mods.
