Not a 240 issue, but rather an intermediate update on the Eclipse in my tag line 200

Jac912:

Sorry, no, I wish it was AWD, this car is a 2000 GS Eclipse so it is strictly FWD.
The "W" in "WHP" stands for Wheel, ie. how much power the car can actually put on the road.

At 200WHP, this car did 0 to 60 in 5.98 Seconds, I am very curious to find out what the "goal 360WHP" will do! I suspect traction will seriously limit improvements (being FWD), but heck, I built this car to be a road race machine... not a drag racer! I'm still working to set up track time at VIR so that a comparison can be made.

Thanks for the reply!
