Hello all. I wanted to look into mid to late 90s Eclipse GS-Ts and waswondering what kind fo specs does it have? Gas, hp, tq, reliability (mainly what is a good mileage reading for a car in say the '97, '98 range and how long the engines usually last til having being rebuilt and such), etc. I've got a '03 Dakota and well, it's eatting away at my money like nothing else and considering I'm starting 5 day a week college schedule next semester, something with better gas mileage, but yet not a piece would do me fine.

If you're in Canada, you'd be hard pressed to find any eclipses in that year. Mitsubishi only opened up within the last year in Canada so any of the ones you're looking for would've had to come from other countries...

I have the car and driver with the 1999 Coupe comparisons. (The one where the Eclipse GT finished second to the Honda Prelude in almost every category :) )...

Here are some stats:
-price as tested: 21,122(usd)
-SOHC 24V V6, 2972cc
-205bhp@5500rpm
-205lbft@4500rpm
-3152lb
-1/4 mile = 15.4@91mph
-0-60 = 7.0 s
-fuel economy 28hwy, 20cty mpg
-Braking 70mph-0 = 211feet (worst in class)
-Skidpad: 0.81
- etc. etc. etc.
