Why don't you get a beater and give it some balls while you are learning to drive? I started out with an '81 wagoneer that barely made it back to my house. We had to fill the radiator every other hour. The thing leaked more oil than I put in. But after three years it was a true sleeper. I had a 360 v8 in it, and everyone thought it was some pos until i put half of my tires on the pavement, and was gone before the smoke settled. No one is saying not to get a stealth, get a sohc, thats a little less power, and almost as good handling.
Now all of you sohc owners don't flame me, I drive an rt n/a, but I do know the difference between my car and a tt is night and day.
The eclipse is really a nice car, but its not a race car, my sister is looking for a car, but isn't the most experience driver and I would suggest a saturn or an eclipse. i realize that you have a bit of pride, so I wouldn't expect you to drive a saturn.
Hey, if you want a stealth/3kgt, go for it, hey I will sell you mine if you give me enough money, but don't say we didn't warn you when you are being scraped off the windshield of the van that belongs to the lady that you just sent to the hospital.
If you buy one and never get a ticket or into an accident, more power to ya, but statistics say that you are writing a death wish.
