I was on the way home and this third generation eclipse passes me slowly and looks over as he passes. so i slowly speed up and pass him. at the red light i am on the left lane, theres some random car in the middle that the eclipse was behind, and in the right lane just some truck. Well the light turns green and i was gonna go slow to let the eclipse get by me and i notice a mazda speed 3 next to me just take off. so i take off and i hear the eclipse take off and by 70 the eclipse was way back there. i slowly catch up to the speed3 at 110? he turns so i followed him and this time i stayed behind him the whole way up to about 125? i am not sure what was done to either of the cars. i know the eclipse had an exhaust, but arent all 3rd gen eclipses slow ?

 

3rd gens really arent that slow.. If you get a GT or a GTS and mod it decently they can be pretty fast, the bad thing is there is very little aftermarket support for them because they are "worthless" because they didnt have the 4G63.. The 6G72(3.0 V6) in the GT and the GTS with the ripp mods supercharger and full exhaust puts down 350 at the wheels..
