Hello All,
Im new here and am currently looking to buy a 94 manual eclipse. Most likely ill be stuck with the GS 2.0, just because I cant find anything better in my area. But before I go out and buy it, i had a question, and figured it would be best to go straight to the mitsubishi guys. Currently i have a Nissan Sentra with a full exhaust, hi flo cat and intake, (not much but eh it was a start) and now im looking to sell it. I looked it up on Edmunds just to see the HP difference in what i currently have and in what the eclipse will have and its only like a 20hp/torque difference. Haha i know this sounds sorta lame but is this a signifant increase? Will the eclipse be way faster than the sentra? (oh the sentra is auto too and the eclipse will be manual)..And ive heard rumors that eclipse's tranny's go out a lot and they require high maintanance...is this true? Thanks in advance for the answer guys. (i tried searching but considering this is a mitsubishi forums page i didnt expect to find anything on the comparison of a sentra and a eclipse)
Thanks again,
Michael

taking two of the same cars, with the same specs..and a good manual driver...the manual will almost always be faster, barring some sort of mechanical issue.
for instance, my car stock with an automatic (  ) ran a 16.90...the manual version of my car is over a second faster as tested by C&D...something like a 15.8...i have done work to my car, nothing major..and i am still only at 16.1
