The DOHC neon engine IS NOT A 420a ENGINE. How many times do I need to explain this? The DOHC neon engine is the ECC and THEN Mitsubishi took it reversed the head and called it the 420a engine. The DOHC neon engine is not a Mitsubishi engine AT ALL!!!!

True, but I get tired of people thinking we have a Mitsubishi engine, when we don't!

Yup. It's manual. Black. Will be sexy as hell once I get my body kit and black rims.

also...

UPDATE: We raced tonight. I won. It was neck and neck for a while, and then around when I hit 3rd gear, I got ahead fast.

Then my friend raced him with his Celica. And he also beat the Eclipse. Which surprised me. The Celica supposedly only has like 110 HP and 115 torque, and like I said earlier, the Eclipse has like 140 HP and 145 torque. Very surprising.
