Eclipse or 3000GT???

Yo all, im still pretty new to the racing world. Im trying to decide between the 3000GT and the Eclipse. First off, i know that the GS-T turbo model is pretty hard to find. And a 3000GT is farely easier to find. Now, i know that the 3000GT is a twin turbo and has a lil more horsepower than the eclipse, but also, its a lot heavier. I was just wondering which car would be the best investment for more speed for cheaper

He's got a point LOL. Also even though the 3000GT is a heavy car look at the power to weight ratios of both cars. The Eclipse was also a rather heavy (And I always thought underpowered) car as well.

RE: Eclipse or 3000GT???

if you are looking to go as fast as possible, id get the eclipse. has more potential and is cheaper to build up. But most importantly, just get what you like more and whatever is a better deal they will both be fine.
