That engine is different to the 380's but interesting potential. Still a 387hp FWD is really of limited use.

That's the newer MIVEC 3.8 out of the Ralliart Galant and Eclipse GT. Our 380 has the non-MIVEC engine, that's not saying we won't ever get it though.

not sure on this but i think you have to have a sign saying left hand drive on it
even still it is incredibly dangerous as a passanger car, especially at mediam strips cuz you can't see on coming traffic, trucks and that aint bad cuz of height advantage, but even as rhd we still stuggle seeing occasionally and have to poke our necks out a bit, imagine a lhd.

SRT-4 - 5-SPEED turbo (stock) vs 06 Eclipse GT - 6 SPEED (stock)
I think you guys have really strict laws regarding vehicles. Dont worry if dont get everything over here either. Canada is nice though cause its easier to import vehicles from Japan over there, cant do that in the US. Well you can but its much much more difficult.

The 3.8s are throwing pistons I hear. The 3.5 is still the best engine platform for development. Maybe grab the 3.8 heads since they have the Ralliart heads, cams, valve springs. Just don't pay too much or expect too much.
