Eclipse vs. Eclipse

[Boomboy 10+ year member]

ok here i have 2 cars im thinking about...which one would you think would be faster and look more classy...

1st pick

1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

I have a 1996 GSX eclipse with a brand new motor in it!! The new motor only has 500 miles on it. Motor was put in by MAP performance shop. I have receipts to prove it. The car also has a new 99 GSX ****** in it; it shifts real smooth in every gear. The only two things about the car that are wrong are that the Carbon Fiber Hood has a few cracks in it (this is because somone did not latch the hood and it flew into the windshield, but the windshield has been replaced) The hood does not look that bad. And the other thing is the motor on passenger window is out, needs new one. Other than that the car is in great shape, motor wise and body wise. I have invested over $16,000 into this car with buying it and modding it out. This car is very very quick and it will be even faster when it is tuned in a couple hundred miles and the boost is turned up. Right now the boost is running at stock boost during the 1,000 mile motor break in period. I can answer any question about this car so please ask. I am looking to sell this car to buy a Chrysler 300c. I will list all the mods I can think of below. If you have any questions or would like to see the car please call my cell phone at 952-292-7697. No low offers please, like I said I have $16,000 invested in it so I think $9000 without dvd player is a good deal,9500 with dvd player. Hope to here from you soon.

And also for Manual Transmission It use BG Syncro Shift II is a synthetic gear lubricant Fluid which has been change recent. Redline Water Wetter 12oz bottle has been insert in the Radiator. This car isn't my everyday ride. And it has been kept in garage on the winter. This Engine has been tuned for boost 14psi. But if you want to push over 20lb of boost and try to get 500hp.Then you need to get Get a HKS Cam shaft and buy some racing gas. Then you are ready to smoke some rubber. Right now it still run fast and it look awesome. By the way this 95 Eclipse Turbo has won a second place trophy from Mitsubishi Cook out Show. Reason I’m selling car is because I’m starting my college and also I have move to different location. So I can't afford to keep it any longer.

Whatever you do, dont get an 02 GTS Eclispe! I had one for a few years and was slow as balls and was the loaded one with more HP. Had factory 224 hp and got it up to 270 and still only added a few .10's of a second to the quarter. I loved the look of it, but just was too slow. Recently sold it not too long ago.

On that, I like the looks of the 2nd one, but the first one has quite a bit of work done to it. With that said, I really wouldn't get either being if they did all that work to those cars, that means they have been run to shit and if they say they haven't, they are lieing. Get yourself a stock one and have the work done yourself, unless you dont care about wasting money on a used car that has been through hell.

GSX is faster hands down.

What did you add to your Eclipse to get it 270hp? Was that on a Dyno or "This product will boost performance by 10 HP!"? If you can get the Eclipse to 270hp, then you will definitely take more time of than a few tenths. Unless you didn't have it tuned right, then it was just a waste of money.

Mitsubishi makes bad cars IMO.

Just not high quality.
