00 Eclipse GT->Evo

Just picked up my new apex silver Evo sunroff and high wing last night. I thought I would really miss my eclipse, but it really is no contest. When you take it up to 5 grand at half throttle and it blows my mind the power!!! I also have a 95 supercharged Mustang GT and I think it would be a good fight. Cant wait till I can really lay on it!!! I am officially in the club.

Hi and welcome!

I had a modded 93 TSI Talon before my Evo and the power band on the EVO is better but the handling is in a different zip code!

Enjoy!

I feel the same way.

Welcome to the family.

When you buy an evo you really do get more than just a car!

I too traded in my 2000 Eclipse GS for the EVO and I do miss the smoothness of the Eclipse, but even after I put on a strut tower brace I still couldn't handle like the EVO. And the power...just awsome!

I'd be curious to know how many people traded in their eclipses on an EVO...

I had an 01' eclipse GS... traded it for the Evo and man, what a difference!!! The eclipse was a good car though, but the Evo is a million times more fun!

i had a heavily modded 2000gt, turboed and all (turbo didnt last long, blew a couple of motors). And I have to be honest i miss it, but i love my EVO! I miss the rumble of the v6, and the torque down low, it was a badass looking car lowered with rims.
