Im trying to help my friend out who is getting a new car and thought I could help him out. He's debateing over a 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT-S or 2005 Honda Accord LX V6. He's mainly into performance and is going to be doing a little modding to the engine. Realiablility is a big issue to, he doesnt want something thats going to break down every week but both these cars are suppose to be realiable so I dont think he'll have any trouble.

Honda Accord LX V6

Curb Weight: 3274 lbs.
Torque: 212 ft-lbs
Horsepower: 240 hp

Base Engine Type: V6

Mitsubishi Eclipse GT-S

Curb Weight: 3241 lbs.
Horsepower: 210 hp
Torque: 205 ft-lbs.

Base Engine Type: V6


So what do you think my buddy should get ? I can't decide, maybe you can.
