My point wasn't to show that the Accord is faster or slower, just to show that its comparable. Maybe the Accord is that fast, maybe not. Thats not what were talking about here. I'm simply saying that Mitsu has made this car bigger, heavier, and designed more suitable to comparison to the Accord Coupe and Solara. And, to me, thats not what the Eclipse is about. It should be comparable to the RSX, GTI, WRX, or SRT. But now it doesn't seem like those comparisons fit anymore.

I don't know why you people keep giving this car **** for being so heavy. Everyone thinks '3000GT = heavy' so suddenly every ****ing Mitsubishi is heavy. It's completely absurd. Folks, here's a little perspective: the new Eclipse weighs 3274lbs - that's 26lbs lighter than the base Ford Mustang. Eclipse also holds a 20 horsepower advantage over that vehicle, which everyone agrees is finally decently quick. Meanwhile, the Eclipse is only 250lbs heavier than an RX-8, while holding a 33-horsepower advantage over the automatic version of that vehicle, which everyone agrees is a true performance car. Get over the fact that the Eclipse is no longer a wimpy little unreliable ****box like it was from 1990 to 1994.
02-03 Nissan Maxima's weigh 3200. A sedan weighing as much as a coupe? Thats not right. The Max has 255hp, able to put down low 14's.
