Now, we've tested some speedy sport coupes in our day. But when we ponder the decision made by Mitsubishi designers to drop a 210-horsepower engine into a car that weighs less than 3,000 pounds, we can only wonder:
In their previous jobs, did these guys design rocket boosters for NASA?
The Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T's brawny engine muscle and relative light weight makes for such startlingly
brisk out-of-the-blocks acceleration that it's somewhat akin to being hurtled from a slingshot.
Clearly, Mitsubishi designed this car for hot rodders.
