And the new Mustang Cobras are not stock.

False. The C6 weighs as much as your Eclipse, maybe less.
When you look at American MUSCLE, they are all fast. They're all in the 12s and 13s nowadays. When you look at Jap sports cars, a few of them are fast, in the 13s, but I can think of only one that's faster. And unless you go AWD, the FWD ruins the car.
I mean, my mom's SRT4 is a fun car no doubt about it. And I had fun driving my friends turbo avenger this last weekend (FWD eclipse motor) but neither of them would ever be able to hang with anything RWD on a race track.
And I can't think of any Jap cars other than the Evo, STI, and the GTR that are anything but FWD.
