The eclipse. even though its non turbo, there are upgrade options: Turbo it: Rebuild your bottom end block with JE pistons/ eagle rods or crower rods at 9:1 compression via VT Engines or HowellAutomotive.com. either keep it 2.0 or stroke to 2.2L Get Hahn Racecraft turbo kit (HRC with a 20G turbo) or Star Performance kit with a T3/T4 turbo. 3" full Exhaust with test pipe and 3" downpipe. FMIC, Turbo XS blow off valve , AF/X underdrive pulley. Crane #14 turbo cams. Cometic Head Gasket. (stock gaskets are weak) crankscraper. Megasquirt computer or Greddy e-manage.

don't get the lancer or the eclipse, both are slow and unreliable. I would get the mustang, it's definitely the quickest.
