I have multiple timeslips at 13.05, 13.10, 13.07 at 107+Mph that I was working on last season. I was still working on getting my 60' times down...as they were HORRIBLE. I was bogging something horrible off the line. A similar car, with LESS boost should be in the mid 12's in the right hands.

Drivetrain problems , yes.... I have toasted two clutches and one transmission, but that is to be expected. The clutches were both marginal when new, so they don't count. The transmission is a known problem, and I had it upgradded when I had it rebuilt the first time.

I have friends with the AUTOMATIC version, in full race form, in the 10's using NOS to get off the line. That is NOT at street car. The Eclipse is one BRUTAL car... and is quite capable of 11's. There is an OUTLAW version that is in the 8's (tube chassis, racing transmission, but same engine)
