yah that site is right i wish i could find a site to see what my car ran when it was stock, but the GSX will def. rape the talon lol...AWD usually walks FWD but not every front wheel drive as my brother in law has a Supercharged Cobalt SS and he blows STI's and EVO's out of the water like there standing still but this eclipse GSX will walk the talon hands down providing he doesnt have any other work done

dont do it. that style eclipse is ugly as hell in my opinion. and like spud said, look at the horsepower difference? either pass on the deal, or buy it, sell it, get another neon, and build on the neon. in the end it will be more ponies anyway.

Trade and Sell...You'll end up better...Mexicans love them style eclipse around here...could easily get $3000 cash for it.

thats simply not possible unless the cobalt has a hell of alot of upgrades

a friend of mine had a 91 eclipse gsx with a few upgrades and the car was still a pooch....back when i had my red r/t with a stock motor and the srt4 turbo i could walk all over that car with no problems
