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

this is a celica board, it's going to be bias, what are you gonna expect people to say? lol

but seriously, dsm and reliable dont belong in the same sentence, lol, if i was going to get a dsm, i would get a 1st gen, i knew somebody with a 450 whp 1st gen eclipse, he knew everything about dsms and told me a bunch of crap about dsms, such as the 1st gen being better, so i'm taking his word for it. Although the 2nd gen does look nice, i've heard of more problems from them than the 1st gen.

if you're gonna get the dsm, be sure you have lots of $$$$ in the bank before you start modding it, good luck and keep us updated

oh yeah and if you havn't heard, "boost gets you laid"
