Under the hood of the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS is a 2.4-liter, 16-valve, single overhead cam four-cylinder engine that puts out 162 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 162 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm while running on 87-octane fuel. Power is directed to the front wheels by a standard five-speed manual transmission, or an optional Sportronic four-speed automatic.

GT models get a 3.8-liter, 24-valve, single overhead cam V6 that’s good for 260 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and 258 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm, though premium fuel is recommended. A six-speed manual tranny is standard, but a five-speed Sportronic automatic is available to those not fond of a clutch pedal. Mitsubishi reports an unexceptional 0-60 mph time of about seven seconds for the Eclipse Spyder GT.
