Only even less room in em that the oversized/overweight GT.

Never got how you can make a car SO big and have no room in it.
I agree, the genesis is kind of like the eclipse gt but Right Wheel Drive. lmao

But you are right, those are really big cars with almost no room. Makes no sense.

Really? If you can handle your Cobalt, I would think it would stand a chance if the Eclipse is stock.

it would do more than stand a chance, the eclipse would have trouble keeping up

i agree, the new edition with the spoiler and the body kit makes it a bit more manly, but as a whole the car is too smooth... like the g37...

i like the 2g eclipse the best

Easy on the eyes? I dunno about that. lol

And no you should beat him from a dig, a roll, a sideways diagonal race, and an upside down race. Bad launch.

Not a fan of many foreign cars. I have yet to race one, but I really don't look twice when I see one. Around here its mostly women in the drivers seat.

I think they are nice looking cars, the style is ok. The power plant is good for a v6, but the problem is it is very heavy and fwd doesn't usually do too great when it has a lot of tq and a lot of weight to pull. THen the interior has like no space, even though it's a very large car.

I'd rather own the 4 banger hyundai genesis. Which is honestly slower stock for stock.

But I'd like to have the v6 genesis as a daily driver, if they made it in a drop top.

the V6 genesis is a pretty awsome little car. Better to mod than the 4 banger, but more expensive

An SC isnt a good match for a manual 4th gen Eclipse GT unless its driver sucks. Honestly it will get the SC decently easy if the drivers are equal.

stock for stock, the ss/sc and the eclipse gt are a driver's race. But the ss/sc can easily beat the eclipse gt with something as minor as a raised rev limit. A stock ss/tc should dominate those fake ass dsms.

a stock sc vs stock 3.8 gt manual eclipse the sc will lose period.

Hell your Stage 2 is barely quicker than some stock times ive seen people pulled out of them.



So with that said since the best you could do is pretty much a 13.8 maybe you should polish up those driving skills a bit. I mean since a stock eclipse gt is so close to your stage 2 SC.

He said a Stage 2 Cobalt SS/SC will fall behind a stock 09 Eclipse and I said it would not. I agree that a stock SS/SC would lose. Sorry about the knock on your skills but I thought you were the guy I QUOTED at first. Plus how would you know, you drive a 2.4 right?

i raced a hyundai genesis 3.8 before, from a 40 roll, each time i would hold it off until 120... every race... multiple times, at the time i had intake and header, their gearing isnt the best it holds them back

x2 on the Eclipse being small on the inside. For that reason alone I wouldn't buy one.
