Camaro fat and slow

Eclipse fat slow and usually broken.

Cobalt will make you more like Riceburner and who would not want to be more like Riceburner.

Lt1 camaro is only slightly more but idk what your need for gas mileage is.

Build the eclipse right and it COULD be fast or like sox said it'll be broken.

Cobalts already quick and the gas mileage is underrated unless you're on the sauce.

I've a 05 cobalt ss so that's how I voted

what are you using the car for?

daily driver wise i'd go Cobalt for sure.

if you want a project/fun car, get the RS and rip out the 305 and drop in a ZZ383

I owned a 1991 Eclipse GST and it was quick and real easy to work on. The 2G Eclipse likes to crankwalk though. I don't think I'd buy another DSM that wasn't AWD however.

definitely the Camaro then. parts are so cheap for those it's ridiculous. And at least the RS has the better looking body.

Hah im going with Eclipse

That GS-T can go fast for cheap, couple upgrades to hit 12s 16G Turbo, 750cc Injectors, Front mount, steel intercooler piping instead of that plastic **** it comes with, walbaro 255 fuel pump 2.5" all the way back run at 21lbs

Ive seen people run 28lbs on the stock bottom end, motor can handle power but does break easy.

And over 70k miles usually out of the redzone for crankwalk

Camaro is a no.
If the eclipse was a GSX, I'd say yes in a heartbeat.
Cobalt is a yes only if you turbo swap it.
