Here's Mine. 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. Fully Loaded with AWD, Turbo, 5-spd, Leather, sunroof, etc.

And stock it's run's the 1/4 faster than my modded IROC.

I just bought it this August. I needed a car that would be good in the snow and something I wouldn't mind driving next summer while I'm swapping a TPI ZZ4 and 6-spd into the IROC (getting really tired of the LG-4 and it's mid 15 second 1/4 mile times).

What really attracted me to this car was how cheap it was to mod it. For about a grand I can be running low 14's/ high 13's.

I'm pretty sure it's all stock, yellow corners and white bulbs I know of.

Here's my bad weather/beater that i just happen to offroad too. Mine is the one on the left. I paid $700 for it, drove it home, rebuilt the entire ignition system and it's just as reliable as my camaro...but no where near as cool or fast. heh.

**** it, i can't find my camera. well i've got an '87 celebrity eurosport, 2.5, auto. slowest p.o.s. i know. my moms minivan can beat it. i guess i need something slow though, cuz i've already got caught speeding in the camaro once and it surprises me i've only got caught once, since the only time i do the speed limit is where i've seen cops sitting. i'll get a pic later.

Um brett you might want to take care of that xr4ti. It is probably, to the right people, worth more than your f-body. Not to mention its very rare especially compared to a 3rd gen. Not to mention 4cyl rwd light cars are nasty in the snow since once they loose it they are really gone with all of their revs and that turbo won't help anything even if it is a manual. Any way my unfortunatly poor situation (college student) means my beaten and neglected rs (before i got to it) has to be driven this winter in the snow and all.
