If it's a 4-cyl., I don't think you should have a problem. The V6's are another story.

You gotta have more confidence in your car than that. His car is heavier and has less power...

I never had any trouble with 2k1 / 2k2 V6 eclipses...Even when they're 5spds. Those things... They're slow boats.

Me too, even with the bumped HP I dont think they can hang
For a 5m per Motor Trend
10:1 CR
205 lb-ft at 3750 instead of 4000
210 hp @ 5750
0-60 6.88 for the GTS spyder vs 7.3 for the 2001
15.21 @93.0 mph 1/4

Actually, now that I look at some of the numbers, maybe they can hang?
Probably with an Auto Max?
