#85074, "I'm F-in Pissed! I Drove Next To The New 2006 Eclipse" May-14-05 11:15 AM by eclipse804
Today on my way home from military pt i see a car in my rear view.. it looks like the 2006 Eclispe.. I'm like nah.. its probably a new Galant. So I slow down and switch lanes so it can pass me.. and what is it? The new Eclipse GT.. The thing was fucking SWHEET.. I almost nutted when I heard the exhaust. And this morning for some odd reason i was telling myself to bring my camera, but I never did. I'm really pissed I did'nt because it was really cool to see this on the streets.. To bad some old fucker was driving it to the dealership because he wasn't really getting on it. The thing was fucking nice! Totally different to see it in person, you respect it a little bit more. I'm so pissed with myself though.. O'well

Yea, I hope it's better in person, cuz the pictures looked like shit on a stick. Anything that resembles a 3g needs to be shipped to Antarctica and blown up.

it does look pretty awesome in person. haha i guess i should upload my pics from the car show we had here last month... they had a sexy blue one. i think it has a lot of potential body-wise as well. just needs the right kit
it's kinda like when you look at a 95-96 eclipse before ever seeing a 97+ or one with a kit.

It's pretty nice.. The one I saw was orange, and I really dont like the orange.. But I dont know.. Just seeing it in person and hearing that baby purr and mixed in with traffic, it was unique. If someone gave me one I would drive it for sure just not on a daily basis.. lol.. But yea, views will change after they hit the road. 2G is still the best tho.. RepresenT!!!!! 2G Powaa!

We all saw it here in SoCal when Mitsu hosted MOD 05 event. We got to sit in it and check out all the controls, however they also had the concept eclipse right next to it, so it made the actual 06 eclipse look like crap.

Yeah the concept was alright, but the actual final production version looks like dog shit.

Funny you should see one. I got to drive one today. It was a GT got a 3.8 in it. Had the sport shift auto. And a Rockfordfosgate sub in the back. Cool seats. It is a orange color. I think it has 17's on. I didn't have my camera with me either. I will see if I can get some pic's monday. But my boss does not whant any of the installers to now it they. It was funny he brought it in to the shop and drove it by my lift whit out stoping. Drop the dam slpash cover and was like I now you going to stop right. He just drove it out of the shop and acros the street to the other shop and put it the class room. But He did let my drive it. It fast for what it is still would like to see a turbo on it . I wish thay would put the bulge back on. It's funny to look over that flat hood. To let you all know the company I work for procees cars for mazda ,suzki, ford ,chevy, and now mitsubishi. whating for are fisrt shippment of EVO's. Any way if any body lives in Jacksonville FL and looking for a job we have some opening.
