Should be no problem... it's the 5 spd us autos have to worry about. I've taken one before.

He tried to cut in front of me about a mile away from the exit on the freeway. I saw him take off and I immediately floored it. He kept up for a while, but to my surprise, I easily walked him (had Jane in the car). I doubt I would have done that to the 5 spd.

Yes, he was racing.

Warning: Walking speed will depend on what mods you have.

OK, I'll stop before the Eclipse guys come over here and start flaming us.

Yeah Keving, you have all those mods

If he is stock and so are you, both auto's, you should hang with him. I did on a manumatic V6 eclipse before. I wonder how I'll do with the Intake? I guess I should go race Greg again.

Just want to let you know that I took out a 5spd. Eclipse GT. Although, I did have a few mods, while the Eclipse was stock. Yes, I beat it, but it was closer than I thought. Just imagine if it had mods. And it was a girl that I raced. Afterward, even she said to me, "just wait until I put a few mods on my car." I said, "ok, rematch when you get the mods?" She agree, since we both go to the same school. Very cute girl btw.

My friend here has a 2000 Eclipse (the V6 version) in 5 speed. Its quick, but I have no problem keeping up. I haven't had the heart to tell him that I've been shifting at 5500 and not at my peak HP
