Mid 15's, driver dependent.

Are you talking 3rd gen V6 or the new 4th gen V6? The new 4th gens are fast.... 263hp and 260lb/ft, 14.5 quarter mile stock. http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=3&article_id=9634&page_number=3

If you're talking about the 3rd gen, then the above responses are correct.

Which V6 are you talking about? The new model 2006 V6 Eclipse runs low 14's (14.5 is what it was tested at). If it's the 2000 style V6 then the above responses are corrent, low 15's typically.

Even the 3rd gens are quick, my friend has a 2000 v6 with intake and a catback and runs 14.6@94. The new ones I have seen run low to mid 14's. They have a lot of power but they are heavy.

they're not as fast as they think they are

mid 15's is what i've seen/heard. got a guy who's convinced he'll take my car. he's stock... silly kid.

i've driven one of the new GT's. it was an auto (no manuals on the lot that night) but it just really didnt impress me that much. the torque just didnt feel there... unless you were going by steering, because the torque steer was terrible. and the tranny was slow as $h!t. but i cant speak for the manuals. i need to go drive one.

it's not how fast you go, it's how you get there that counts.

Not to digress but funny story.....when i was regularly driving my cav Z24 this dood in a black Eclipse GTS used to ALWAYS f'k with me revvin, flying by, beat me constantly in short races............then a few nights ago, i catch him as im driving my new 350Z and i do the same to him....revving then lit him up on stretch of road.lol then i waited until he caught up, rolled down the window, let him see me, then drove off......anyhow, eclipses run in the mid 15's somewhere i think.

yeah but only one previous gen of eclipses with a v6

I've seen the ways of God
