The thread was not intended for flaming or bashing the 4G Eclipse GT, but you have to admitt that some folks from that forum are just clueless and deserved the flaming

yea that is basically what sorta happened in 2000 and they have been working with it since

I can say they are decent cars, my bro has a 4G GS, it is by no means a cornering car or road course kinda car though, the car feels too heavy and has tons of body roll

I have raced a ton of the GTs and I have only lost to 1, all of the other times I walked on them, it wasnt a slaughter or anything of the nature, just a fender to a half car kinda victory

3. Stuckinkaos..... 14.4 @ 101 (m/t)

and what SS/SC is trapping slower then the GTs from the above list... yet these same Modded GT's are walking stage II's on the road...

lol.. hows that when the ss/sc traps higher in the quarter?

these guys just dont know what SS version they are racing.. they are confusing the 2.4 for the ss/sc

i trap 103-105 with stage II only... there is only 1 GT in that list that traps higher.. *boggle*

Sometimes I have a hard time remebering that stage 2 is not stock..I got mine from the dealer ship with CAI, STG 2, and Corsa Sport.

That being said I pulled away from a HARD from a 4th Gen GT with at least an exhaust. Stock vs Stock the 4th Gen is faster...but not by much.

The same is said internet-wide about the Cobalt. I love how we've sunk to their level.

LOL those eclipses have to be the girliest cars ever. Has anyone ever seen the interior? Huge buttons with little lights everywhere. A *** wagon.
