That would turn some heads! A lot better then 3g

Ehhh everything is all good until I looked at the back and I pictured a Mercury Cougar on steroids. Change the back and it would be the new 'bubble' car.

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
alot better than the 3g. Is it AWD? It'll be nice if it was out in production with all those mods...hehehe

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
If that ever goes into production I would considering picking one up assuming its decently under $30k.

Bronze rims=legit. Sick car

EDIT: Wait wait wait... Those fast and furious gay ass tips need to go!

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
That right there should have been the regular production one. Bring back the GST and GSX badges and they would be golden.

A//// Guy 11-01-2005 04:41 PM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
That would be a sweet car and probably do something for mitsu if they priced it according to how the old GSX's cost.

Im not liking the rear of it at all but that is a small problem I could easily get over ;)

Steeltwo 11-01-2005 05:10 PM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
i do not see it being produced. Mitsu has spend too much $ on the new 3.8 mivec to just slap in the tried and true 4g63 with a 16g and AWD.

Kracka 11-01-2005 05:36 PM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
Mitsu is retarded IMO. The new 4G is selling well and breathing a small amount of life back into them so I guess thats a good thing. If Mitsu brought back the 4G63T Eclipses and priced them in the low-mid $20k's I can only imagine they would bring back a ton of people to the Mitsu-camp and sell nearly aswell as the 1G and 2G cars did. They need to claim back the niche they once held position as king in (currently dominated by Dodge with the SRT-4): small displacement turbo 4-cylinder import. If people want a V-6 with displacement they'll buy a domestic run of the mill whatever from GM.

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
That looks a lot better than the normal 4G. Too bad it isnt being produced. They really need to bring back the 4G63T in the newer Eclipses. They're name is going history.

tpunx99GSX 11-01-2005 08:54 PM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
Think about this, The eclipse name is becoming much like the thunderbird name, the manufacturer is whoreing it out to every new creation they can come out with, good or bad, but the DSMers will end up like the old muscle car guys, they will remain steady to their tried and true 1gs and 2gs, if only the cars would last long enough to be called classics.

EclipseGST 11-01-2005 10:52 PM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
So whats the deal with it??? Evo motor and drivetrain? I'm not liking the ass backwards motor idea though. I like the way the motor sits in the 1g's and 2g's now. Basically all that picture was telling me is that looks like an evo trapped in an eclipse body. Lame. Its cool and all but bring back the original set up and it would be a lot better.

Goat Blower 11-02-2005 12:44 AM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
It's a SEMA concept car, 4G63 turbo, AWD, 400 horsepower. If it sold for what my Eclipse sold for new, I'd buy two of them, one to drive and one for a spare.

awd-drifter 11-02-2005 08:22 AM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
Same here, but i think Mitsu was thinking about everyone, even the ones who dont even know the difference between a sport car and a 2-door car (haha). I think Mistu has already tried to get the 1g and 2g dsmers back with the Evo and it did, almost. What they should really do is make the freaking body of the Eclipse better, seems like they were just having FAF enthusiast do it for them for the 3g and 4g. I will be suprised if they brought the 4g63T awd eclipse back though.

Why does it matter what side of the engine bay the tranny and timing belt are on? That "EVO in an Eclipse body" would more than likely have more power and handle better than either the 1G or 2G's did.

Straight up... If brought to the market with the 4G63 AWD Turbo look'n like this It would be our next sports car.

I don't mind the back end, not like I look at the ass of my car all that much anyway and it would be an Eclipse. There would be PLENTY of body kits to change it. LOL

4G63Spyder 11-02-2005 10:54 AM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
I don't see them building an awd version, simply because they will be building something to compete with the EVO for sales $. I would love to see them bring a GST back though....I'd rock it with the new body. Just have to dump like 300 pounds of weight out of it...

Enes 11-02-2005 10:56 AM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
if that came out to the market that would be my daily driver, no matter what!!!

Damn, that is one hot car, i had herd that they were not even considering to go back to turboing eclipses.

Sweet ride, they really need to bring back the 4g63, hopefully this could be it!

That thing is frickin hott!! I might have to put buying a house on hold now to get one. Well, as long as they keep that smokin dual exhaust on there that is!!

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
Wow. That thing is fricken nice. It's even a six speed. It looks way better than the normal 3Gs and 4Gs.

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
What the hell is the deal with all that plastic up in the engine bay.. It makes it look like it's 2ftx3ft big, or should i say SMALL!!

Tauni 11-03-2005 03:26 PM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
The front from the headlights back is an SRT with tweaked head lights, and the back is a cougar, and the middle area is a G35... they put it all together and then streched it all out. Oh yah, and its not a good combo...

JET 11-03-2005 06:48 PM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
How does that front end look anything like an SRT4??

How do the sides look like a G35? I don't see any similar lines.

A//// Guy 11-03-2005 09:13 PM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
Yea I see no G35 or neon in there... the front looks pretty good but the rear is a little off. Pretty original car though.

Tauni 11-05-2005 01:23 PM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
Look at the lower part below the head lights. IMO the g35's sleek mid section heading down towards the rear looks like part of this car, but like I said, streched out.

Halon 11-05-2005 03:11 PM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
Look deep enough into almost anycar and you can find something on it that looks similar to another car. Whoopdi doo. so it has a couple lines that look like another car kind of. It's still it's own car, and it's freakin hott!

4G63Spyder 11-07-2005 05:59 AM

Re: 4G eclipse gsx?
 
It looks much better in this trim (should we call it a GSX?) than it does in any other model...but then again imagine the pricetag for that bad boy
