ever hear of punctuation? 
Welcome to the world of f-bodies. Ton's o fun to drive, but once its not stock anymore, **** breaks. A lot. Just the way it is once you start adding hp to a car. The more money you spend, the more money you'll spend.

DSMs are OK cars if you keep up on the maintenance. slack off just a bit and boom there goes your timing belt

Hmmm, I put 42K miles on the supercharger without any problems or down time on my old 93 Indy Pace Car. If you abuse a car, it will break. Doesn't matter if it's modded or not. I enjoy making it to work so I can pay the bills, so I don't abuse my vehicles, especially if it's my every day driver. As for the Eclipse, keep your fingers crossed, I know more people that were left stranded when their Eclipse broke down. And repair parts for those cars are expensive. If you've already replaced all that stuff on the Camaro, I'd sell the Eclipse and keep the car with the repairs done to it.

just so you know the Turbo and NA eclipse/talon motors are completly different and not everything will bolt up. just make sure you talk to someone with experience with them before you get waist deep in turbo parts
