In my opinion Mitsubish has been known as a "Tuner Car" right? so what they expect out of their buyers is "tuners" when you bought a 1997 eclipse GSX you got a 200 hp awd car and this opened up the market for people to modify the car...this is the same exact options owners a 265 HP 3.8L V6 have and is even closer and ready to be unleashed to reach 420 hp...Tuners are needed for this car...not people that "wish it had been this or that"....does that make sense?
we can dream in one hand and sh*t in another but we will never get the "perfect daily driven what "I" want car" sicne so many people have so many different needs and wants in a vehicle. so mitsu did what they could for their customers needs of a coupe...i can't be dissapointed for what i wanted, just as toyta/subaru are doing the same with the 86  |
The only major downfall...coming from a 4G Eclipse myself is the lack of aftermarket availability. It is outrageous how much availability is out there for the FRS and its only been out 6 months. So the option for tuners to really tune the 4G doesnt exist unless the parts are either rare because not made anymore (RIPP supercharger) or custom because it isnt made for the Eclipse yet for instance the AWD guy in Russia.
