The new Eclipses are horribly slow, but a four second head start is still a lot.

no they're dogs. the only ones worth even talking about is the awd turbo eclipse ( i forget the model designation) other than that they're nothing to worry about.

Well i guess it just depends on our definition of fast. I saw one at the track running consistent 15.2's. Thats not real fast but for what it is i guess its all right

Yeah, that's the GSX model. I raced it's sister model (Talon TSI) a few years back at the track, and the guy pretty much smoked me. But this is when I was running the stock L98, while he laid down an eleven second flat ET...

Pretty impressive, nonetheless.

well lets see.. first off, i think they replaced the engine with a truck engine, so itl have more torque, and i got a Summit racing Phenolic carb spacer, and a Accel Hi-Output super coil, to give me fire all the way up to 8,000 which will never happen, but it sounds nice, and i just bolted on a Edelbrock Performer Intake two days ago. But it seems pretty fast to me.. accelerates nice!

By the way, why in the world would you be parting out an 89-TTA? You better have a valid explanation for this one, Mr.!

Edit: A-ha, I see says the blind man. It was just a GTA model to begin with....

lol, anyways.. im thinking about doing a LS1 swap, but i think itl be a little expensive, but it sure would be nice. prolly abot 5 grand. Usually you can find a LS1 and a T56 for about 2800-3200, plus all the custum parts you woudl need, prolly around 5 grand, but man that would be nice!!!

I still say 3rdgens outclass 4thgens. I think they look better, handle better and have more personality. The deciding factor for me was the LS1, hands down.

I want another thirdgen and it WILL eventually be LSx powered

Good luck with the swap, I think you'd be building one of the ultimate thirdgens

Nah, the GTA is nothing more really. Got hit a few times and it's just not worth putting money into.

I'll get another thirdgen again eventually
