Red 2000 SVT Contour. Can you say "factory freak"?

I don't know about all that. I believe that model of Eclipse did 0-60 in 6.9 sec which would be slightly faster than a CSVT. I would have to say this race would be highly dependant upon the driver (and mods).

A stock 99+ CSVT IS 6.9 0-60 so how is it slightly faster?

I could have sworn the SVT was 7.1 sec, but I may be wrong.

The GT Spyders are SLOW! Me and my wife test drove one, and it was a manual to. I wasn't impressed. It didn't feel like it had 225hp or so. I don't think my stock CSVT would have a problem taking one.

The 5spd GTs are a close match. But the heavier, auto, convertible (Spyder) shouldn't be a problem at all.

Mother#@%@!* did I sound abstract?
I hope it sounded more confusin than that!

The verts are a little slower than the hatches. (over 200lbs more weight will do that)
I do not see it beating the SVT "drivers" being equal.
The hatch is decent but is also poorly geared.
Advantage 0-40 to the hatch. (~2900lbs for an 02)
Advantage 40-XXX to the SVT.
Either way it's always a driver's battle with any pair well within a second of each other.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

there was a guy at the local track with a cai and cat back on a 02 GT 5spd.
dude couldn't get better than 15.9.
figure the spyder as a high hig 15 sec car with a good driver.
P2 91 tsi awd, not stock
P3 98 CSVT, stock

A familly member of mine has an eclipse that I drive on a regular basis, it is an 03 GTS Spyder with the sport-tronic(auto) transmission. There is definatly no contest between the two, the csvt would win! I have never taken the eclipse to the track but I predict that it would be in the low 16's. If it where a hardtop and manuel it might be alot closer, but anything from a roll the csvt would still win. The eclipse has more torque then the tour, plus the GTS version has slightly steeper gearing then the regular GT, so off the line I would look for the eclipse to jump ahead then slowly get reeled in.
