Is there any differences between the two? Besides the looks both inside and out. All the websites say things for the GSX, but never the Tsi. Are they the same? Lets say 1996.
 
The Superbee was actually, in fact, the "Coronet Superbee." The whole thing Dodge had with their cars back then was a Bee, whereas Chevy had the SS, Ford had Boss, etc... The Bee emblem stated stock superiority... like the Eclipse GS vs. the Eclipse GSX.

Plymouth, on the other hand, had nothing like the Bee... it was the "Hemi" or "440" stickers that showed up all the other cars.

My Roadrunner has a 383 emblem on the hood, which needs to be replaced (as the stock engine is sitting in the barn at the farm, all locked up and mouse-infested, and I swapped from 383 to 440 (6-pack some day. :p)

So therefore, the Coronet and Superbee were NOT clones... they were the same car!

The Roadrunner/GTX/Satellite is true, but there are differences between the Roadrunner and Satellite (albeit all cosmetic) being that the Satellite had a different taillight setup, different interior, and came in 4-door version. Roadrunners came in Hardtop, Posttop, and convertible. GTX's, however, had nothing but insignias stating their difference over the Roadrunner... That, and I have yet to see a Plymouth GTX that is not hardtop.

The whole Roadrunner/GTX/Satellite was like DSM's are now... Price/respect-wise... As someone noted in an earlier thread:

Eclipse: <Some super-expensive clothing store>
Talon: JC Penny's
Laser: K-mart.

This is what the RR/GTX/Sat. was...

GTX: fosacce (I know, the spelling is wrong... I haven't even seen fosacce clothes before... I'm poor)
Roadrunner: American Eagle <or the like, minus the yuppiness>
Sattelite: Fruit of the Loom.


This is my breakdown of the clones. Also, I've only seen ONE pre-1990 Plymouth Laser... Anyone have any other shots? :p

my 95 eagle has cloth in it, but has all the goodies, pw,pl, power moon roof. I dont mind the cloth, just its starting to rip on the driver side :mad: some new seat covers that will fix it. I have seen some 97+ eagles with 17's on them so i dont know if that is stock or not, just that 95/96 have 16's and the 97+ eclipse have 17's so IMG that eagle did the same thing... :confused:

Anyone with a 2G ECLIPSE GSX with stock cloth wanna contribute.

Tell someone does, I say 2G GSXs don't come with cloth.

Does it really matter? I don't think they came with cloth.
