i would only get the del sol if you could find some way to put the new MDX motor into it, it's turbo'd with no lag. my uncle was telling me about it since he gets all the information about a year before anyone else. but since you can't keep the eclipse.

all turbos have lag. no matter what some just not noticalbe. Like johns MR2 it spools up as soon as you floor it like full boost around 2300 RPMs it seems like. It runs from the exhaust gases and will lag a little

my main reason for the trade would be the fact that my eclipse is unable to be put on the road due to the fact that it needs an ENTIRE exhaust (from motor back) and the del sol needs nothing.. and yes i have taken into consideration the previous ownder and his treatment to the car (hence the reason it has a stage 2 clutch in it..the first one was burnt out)

iunno i guess i just want a car i can have a bit of fun in..and that is sporty.....

exhaust is easy. Way easier than getting rid of a car over it.

So does his eclipse... Actually his eclipse has more potencial. more $$$ would be needed but it could be way faster
