A FWD Spyder holding it's own out on a Cali track. Food for thought for all the folks that are always bagging on DSMs.

holy baby jesus. thats quick..

**Got Insulin?** · 12-07-2009, 07:35 PM

Yeah, killed his class. The vid doesn't look like he's doing anything but, like, 15th, but like I said, class-wise, killin'.

sleeperSL2 · 12-07-2009, 07:37 PM

not to sound like a retart, FWD or AWD?

**Got Insulin?** · 12-07-2009, 07:37 PM

FWD. First post, broseph. No drop-tops came AWD standard.

sleeperSL2 · 12-07-2009, 07:38 PM

hahaha reading fails me

bl@ckvr4 · 12-07-2009, 08:09 PM

Still a girl's car.

But a ****ing fast girl's car.

I would know. I own a 2G Eclipse.

justinlansdale · 12-07-2009, 08:18 PM

there is a member of this site with a former-FWD spyder that he converted to AWD and it pushes over 600whp. 4g's are no joke!

Good post Taylor. I still don't understand after all these years how people hate on Eclipse's/DSM's so much. Obviously I drive one and love them but I'm not a fan of just Eclipses if you truely know me. There are a bunch of other cars I would love to own over this but this is life for now. They are one of the most capable 4 cylinders ever and for all the "crankwalk" haters what was the true failure rate... wasn't it like 5-8%? Sure that should be more like 1-2%, but 5-8% isn't as bad as most people like to portray it to be. The reason for all the failures of these motors if the retards who try to build their motors in their garage and have no skill. Certain people can get away with this *cough*Nick*cough* but most people shouldn't be building the motor on their own.

ImNickjames13 · 12-07-2009, 08:52 PM

I never thought of the 2nd gen as a girls car.
Sadly for me. the 3g definitely is still though of as a girl car even though there are some pretty nasty 3gs out there.

That's because 3Gs are girl's cars.

If you want real props, get a 2GB Talon. People don't even know what they are. And chicks love 'em.

Chick still love the 3g.
And I would rather drive this girls car than the soccer mom van I had before it

sillyeye · 12-07-2009, 09:22 PM

If you watch some more videos on youtube of that car, he maxes out dynos. And he won his class on the track day with a 5500 RPM limiter left on by accident.

11secdsm · 12-07-2009, 09:35 PM

That car is definitely bad ass. I've been following it for several years now. ...belongs to gixxer_drew on Supra Forums.

Link to some specs...

I'd love to get a CLEAN 2GB Talon sometime but the problem is finding a clean one. Most Eagle owners didn't take care of them like GST/GSX owners have.
