i am actually a big fan of eclipses. I would only buy a gsx but the gst also runs really strong stock. But theyre so unreliable i gave it up. I had a green on black leather gsx. Did some tuning and messed around with the turbo settings. I think we had it at 21psi on the stock internals. ran ok but the computyer couldnt keep up. It would get to 3.5k rpms and shut off the fuel source it was really screwed up. So we got it custom programed like hardwired not a diablo or anything. Ran like crazy for a while. But then at 80K miles the engine block cracked due to manufacturer's defect. Car was totaled becuase when it blew my brother lost control. Good memories0- if i could find a cheap one id do it over it was a lot of fun and even with a rattle can they sound better that most imports. I guess cause the engine is significantly bigger than say your everyday honda

I dont mind imports, I kind of wish I had a project to work on alone with my SS. Thats some good power you had coming out of that thing. If you had stockish rims it would be kind of a sleeper until the turbo decided to spool lol.
