    The 3G GT/GTS models come w/ a 6g/72 that has 210 stock horsepower. You hook up a SDS Ripp supercharge kit, a Ripp header, twin throttlebody manifold kit, cams, forged pistons,rods etc..., you can have over 400whp. The turbocharged 3G's can get over 330whp easily. The style of the Eclipse is not to shabby, but w/ all of the aftermarket kits availabe it's easy to the looks just as good.

    but for the price you buy a GT/GTS, you can get an AWD with decent mileage, the money you put in your SC and ll that jazz, a dsm will have 400+

    you cant compare

    Ok ok ok 3gs are ugly. I mean no matter what you do to a 1990 Plymouth Acclaim its still ugly. Ever heard of can't polish a turd? Same concept.

    Forged pistons and rods and have over 400 with a supercharged boat that weighs 7000 pounds doesnt sound like fast to me.

    With slicks on the front and probably stripped out you'd run 11's.

    With the previous dsm's you slap a big turbo on and (with all wheel drive) can run 11's with street tires. I'm just saying they dont compare at all.

    3G weighs right in at around 3200lbs +. The forged pistons and rods are there obviously for stronger internals under boost and higher horse power not really for gains. SDS Vortech supercharger kit, Ripp header, cams, double throttle body (holley) upgraded manifold kit, 3" piping catback etc... is what brings alot of that extra air for horsepower that just adds to the 210 horses that was already on the platform. Gutting out the car helps but that's not what gives it all the horses, but you can drop alot of extra weight. Where does 7000lbs come in ? The 3G can do 11's w/ street tires on a pair of Volks w/ this setup. I have hardly heard of 3G's running slicks on those boards but some do. Looks category well, i have heard loads of people talking about how schweet they look.

    Worst post ever. Images everywhere and you obviously can't pick up on sarcasm. You are bad at the internet in general.

    210 hp v6 fwd vs 200 hp 2.0 awd. Stock for stock the 3g gets owned. Then put the same boltons on each other and it gets worse.

    Show me a 3g with Volks on street tires run an 11. Street tires are not radials either.

    What?? You are retarded. It's 200 hp, 205 ft lbs of torque.

    A stock 1g dsm would bust your ass.
