New Mitsu Ecilipse
The new ecilipse seems to make some nice HP/torque numbers: 263hp/260ftlbs out of a 3.8L V6
Still FWD though. I wonder how much it weights. Should have some good straight line performance.

I dunno, with that hp, torque, and weight I would think it would go faster then edmunds numbers of 6.8 sec 0-60 and 14.9 1/4 mile. Maybe R&T had a 6 speed and edmunds reported the automatic time.
I know there are more variables like gearing but a Acura CL-S 6 speed with 260hp ~232 ftlbs and ~3500lbs could do 60 in ~6 secs and the 1/4 mile in low to mid 14's.

R&T got 0-60mph in 5.8 and 1/4 mile in 14.4@101. They probably got a ringer.
