    Did you guys know that in its production run 1990-2011. Eclipse/DSM was THE BEST selling "sports coupe" in US! That is mainly because Camaros were discountinued for a while
    mitsubishi should put the 2g back in production. Hmmm, maybe that's why they stopped production of the 4g last year. One can wish.

    I think the Eclipse front bumpers look awesome on the Talons.

    We gots them too. But it seems to be a fairly popular DD to run up & down 95 here too. I see lotsa middle aged beltway bandits everyday.

    My 3g model does pretty good as well. No turbo or awd, but its still pretty quick.

    ...and my son calls it a race car, so I'm all set

    Stock for stock, 3Gs could have been a bit quicker than the turbo/AWD 1Gs and 2Gs!

    But... for under $100 and some knowledge, you could make turbo cars considerably faster! For another $500, they were in a different league

    Since this ability to be modified didn't actually help Mitsu Of NA, and if anything, made for more warranty claims, they dropped the turbo engine .

    Tell them the truth!! These things are a modders wet dream!! Just add some drag radials and about 5K in mods and you will see why Vipers and ZR1's refuse to line up next to you after you hand them their lunch, did a Test and Tune in SAC Raceway and The Leman's Club showed up, they lined up twice and got humiliated so bad they put the real deal ZR1 and a Viper up! Guess what! Its on Youtube under TNT SAC. Here's the ZR-1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj3mjgjDW9k I had to run by myself after that nobody would line up next to me! That sucked!! They have been giant killers for awhile, not bad for a fourdoor sedan with a usable trunk. I should borrow my sisters old baby seats next time to really mess with their heads!!! And my car is actually slow compared to some of the other normal builds!!! Just a everyday grocery getting daily driver!!! Now I drive my VX everyday, I can't help it!!! Is there something wrong with me?

    You are from central Ohio, saying that used to own a DSM is redundant

    Looks like you've got quite the collection already!! EVO's s are nice when they were stock, modified that's a different Beast. Almost unbelieveable a little 2.0 Liter can make that kind of horsepower safely! Took the the Beast out yesterday and it makes me smile just thinkin about it!!
