I don't think you did quite 72 in 2nd in a eclipse, I assume your talking about the 5spd right?

Mine was pretty good I had a 97 GST Spyder that I sold a few years ago with less than 75K on the dial. NO problems, just scheduled maintenance. Now the TT.......Hmmm here I am replacing a front axle at 55k. But hey you have to pay when you upgrade to a sexier lady!

You can hit 72 mph in 2nd in a 2nd gen eclipse. This is the top speed for that gear.......it's even stated in the factory manual.

Unfortunatly your spedo and is tach is off... we just got around to re-calibrating my friends spedo in his 2g, with his 17's his was GPS confirmed about 5-6mph off and his tach (turbo timer confirmed) is around 200 rpm or so off.

My GPS shows my spedo reading about 1-2 MPH higher...that typical ay?
BTW I believe that about the DSM's. There was a guy in my town with a stock FWD 3000GT that thought he was big shlt because he hit 110 in third. Too bad the non-VR4 is IMO a waste of perfectly useful metal.
