2g mistu eclipse or 6g celi Options

[DeathWing]

well here is the deal....maybe in 1 or 2 months i may have the chance to change my 6g celi st hatchback 95 (auto)for a 2g (97) mitsubishi eclipse gst(manual), i was analizing the pros and cons of the car change considerating price and stuff (if i get the eclipse i wont be able to sell it for a while), im thinking about getting the eclispe but while i decide i thought that it might be a good idea to post it here so i can read your opinions why you would or wouldnt do it...
both cars are in excellent condition
any experiences? opinions? thoughts? are welcome

(here is a list of things i consider)
-the mitsu has almost double power considerating its a lil more heavier
-mitsu engine...you cant give it even 1 extra hp or engine blows, comes to the limit, very low mechanical upgrades, in the other hand the celi is fully customisable
-the always economy vs preformance and power vs durability of components
-externally the mitsu its a lot less externally modificable
-the celi has 1 minor hit wich i think it has no colateral effect on the car, the mitsu is hit free

4g63 technology is advancing everyday - they can be reliable as a toyota if built right (the motor that is) ... mitsubishi/DSM basically took the best motor they had and put it in the crappiest chassis, w/ the crappiest transmissions - you cant claim that the 4g63 is unreliable - u CAN say that everything attached to the 4g63 is bound to break sooner or later...i'm not arguing w/ that point, and the people modifying these engines "shotilly" dont help w/ there reliability issues - most idiots pick up a 1st gen DSM, make there own boost controller, turn up the boost and blow up their motor (precisely in that order) but that's the owner's fault- not the motor/ any car enthusiast w/ sense would know better. You just have to build the motor the right way, and fuel tune it well - then wait for transmission parts, axles, or transfer cases to break

and dont even start me on the 3rd gen eclipse - they are the crappiest piece of car known to man and shouldnt even be associated w/ the first generation or second generation. I have no experience w/ the 4th gen but assume they are just as crappy
