The 3g eclipses are pretty much all the same shit. The brakes on the 2000 ARE better as somebody else said(dual piston caliper). i dont know if it is true for all of the gts during that year but there was a fedspec eclipse produced which had a "less restrictive" stock exhaust system.(minus the pre-cats)

All comes down to preference. Find your favorite color and style... Then call it a day.

Aside from 00... The differences between the specific years are way too mininal to be a topic of debate.
