Default Eclipse Spyder GS - easy?
wondering if anyone knows whether an Eclipse GS (non-turbo) is an easy kill or not... possibly going against a 170 fwhp volvo (also non-turbo). most likely to go down at MIR.

Well...considering that the eclipse spyder is rather heavy.
And if it's a 95-99 model GS...it's only got 140HP at the crank...I'd say probably.
Depends on his mods...and if it's stick or auto.
If it's auto..U got it easy I'd say.

i'd say the volvo will win. the non-turbo'd eclipses are pretty sad... then again, at least its running just jokin! i love DSMs.

if it's a spyder and it's non turbo, it has a 2.4, not the same 420a that's in other non turbo dsm's....still not fast by any means...
