wonder what the weight on that thing is.....not too sure on the syling yet, don't really like it but it may grow on me. Definitely will have some kick to it though, sounds like it will give the "lift" feeling like my old GTS celica did at 6k rpms but with more pull throughout the whole rpm range. The lift feels like a mini turbo kicking in.

competition to those maybe who cant drive...
Let me not get the facts screwed up. the 3.8 is gonna have a nice torque curve. but if you compare similar torque and 30+ more horsepower of a G, thats not much of a race.
the eclipse had better weigh 3-400 lbs less if your claims of competition are to be true.

Here is what Road & Track listed as tested:
HP 263
TQ 260
curb weight 3570
0-60 5.8
1/4 mile 14.4 @101.0
60 - 0 127 ft
80 - 0 224 ft
200ft skidpad .83g
700 ft slalom 64.1mph
weight dist: 61/39
This is pretty good for an eclipse. Not going to trade in the G or anything, but it is going to run in a straight line right next to our cars.
