My buddy has a stock '08 Mistubishi Eclipse (manual) it's just the base trim. I have a stock '07 rabbit (auto). Just curious who you guys think would take it. Thanks

Lets put it this way, my Brother has a Chrysler Sebring, which is the exact same Engine they used in the 2003 Eclipse GT. It has about 200 HP. I have a 2008 Rabbit, and I hung with him the entire time. So Not sure what motor your friend is using or what trim line on the Eclipse he has whether its an RS/GS/GT or GTS but if its GT or below Im pretty sure youll hang with him. And your Auto should also have an auto stick feature doesn't it?

Disregard Females, Acquire Currency
keeping a group of VWs at 65-70mph on a trip to Florida is like trying to get your girlfriend to have a 3-some with a stripper.
No way.. Unless its a GTS he'll keep up with it.

Yeh, his is the GS, according to that Vehix website - 162 Hp @ 6000. Thanks for the input. I figured it'd probably be close.

Definitely a good matchup. The Eclipse GS weighs a bit more, but has a bit more hp, and also bit less torque. Too close to call. Now if this were an 08 Rabbit, The Rabbit would win with equal drivers. The 06-07 owners like you and myself got shafted with 20 less hp!!
