I am just wonder what kind of mods I need to do to get under 15 seconds with a 96 RS? From what I gathered here, stock the car should run mid 16's. I don't want to add a turbo but I do plan on doing a 50-75HP N2O system, exhaust, and building the top end of the engine(cam, TB, springs, porting, injectors) What do I need to do with the tranny, clutch or axles? How about suspension? I am not familiar with FWD drivetrains.
I previously had a 86 Mustang than ran 12.4's to 12.9's without the N2O system, unfortunatly I never got to fill the bottle before I sold the car. I am sure that I could have broke into the 11's with the spray. I again have a need for speed but I am starting to question my sanity for spending thousands of dollars in hi-po upgrades to end up with a 15 second car.
The eclipse is now my daily driver. Is it possible(practical)to have have this thing be quick and streetable. I would like to add that I have state emissions testing, am I screwed?

get a 100 shot of nitros..make it two of them. and you'll need it by tonight. no for real though. a 50 shot or higher would do it. and 5 speed helps. I'm on a crappy T-25 turbo and i probably run mid to low 14s. Turbo helps. if i upgraded my turbo i could run mid 13s low 13s or even lower.

yeah I wish I had an eclipse with an intake manifold in the passenger side floorboard...that'd be cool...so if my laptop ever said "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" my floors would come apart

P.S. I want an ejection seat too

Alright guys, he had a legitimate question.
Do your bolt-ons: intake, exhaust, P&P the intake manifold, If you want to do some head work, give it a mill and a mild port for raised compression and then your 50, or "maybe" a 75 shot. and I would think you'd be there.
