checking into what? paying $3000 for a motor that might make 180 horsepower, or $2500 for a complete swap that can make 240 to the wheels in stock trim....and rear wheel drive....thats a tough one...

i know, im just trying to justify, if you put a motor in a hatch, you MIGHT run mid 13's and thats after purchasing a car for $xxxx, and, lets say a GS-R, which if i recall, the GSR swap sells for around $3000, if you put a motor in a 240 and have an inkling of driving skills, you should be around a 13.0 with just a fuel pump and intercooler and raised boost, and every brand of aftermarket has 1,000,000's of upgrades for SR20, can't forget the Dori factor too, none of the other options will get sideways or handle like a 240 will, the mitsubishi is good, it may end up being less costly just based on the very low pricing of 4G63 motors (complete running long blocks in very good shape sell for $800), it will be lighter than your average eclipse, (although some 90 GS-T's and RS-T's can give it a run for its money), and make up the best sleeper, for 3k, including the drop-in, the motor (its my understanding the car is payed for, so its not a factor), you should have at least enough to have that car powered by a 16G with all the supporting shit running mid 12's or better....basically, it just isn't worth it in the end to even consider a honda when weighed next to the options you are talking about
