That would be unlikely and unwise considering they have a 2.0L DOHC Turbo engine that produces 271 HP already. I would love to see them smack that turbo on the new 2.4L 162HP engine they have in the new Lancer Ralliart edtion. Drop that in the Evo, stick a 6-speed in it, and that is one unbeatable car!
Of course it is not likely they would put that in the eclipse. The 3.8 is a likly choice.
I also find it interesting that everyone is calling the Eclipse a "poser" car. It's in the same class as the prelude, rsx and celica. Guess those are poser cars too huh?
Personally, I love my eclipse. Great power and great torque (which is more than the other three mentioned cars can say). Wish they would have made an AWD one with a 6-speed
Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts
