Your times are accurate for an auto 420a.

I know it's disappointing, but it's the harsh reality of the 420a. It takes a lot of skill and working with the motor to get it to be fast, especially in automatic form. The fastest NA guys (with 5-speeds and lots of mods) are in the mid 15's, which is NOT FAST.


If you don't want to sell/trade your car, I suggest you read up on turbocharging, Final drive mod, and torque converters.


If you're a young guy, who's eclipse is a 1st or 2nd car, I'd save the modding money and spend it on something else. Wait until you can get a different vehicle with factory turbos or engine swap something very lightweight. I really haven't spent much on mods (although I did get to tinker when I had to rebuild the engine after hydrolocking), and I don't really plan on spending any more until I can buy something I can put on a trailer.
