Opinion is divided about the 4WD turbo FTO - whether some actually existed or were just a myth. I'm leaning towards myth

I was thinking that the drivetrain from the eclipse mite be somewhat similar to the FTO. How much does it cost to do a LHD to RHD converstion, probably work out cheaper to bring in an eclipse and just convert it!
hmmmm now theres an idea

The later model Eclipse was V6 powered.
The one in 2 Fast 2 Furious has a V6 ... so it must be true!

From memeory there was a turbo 2.0L 4cyl model and a 3.0L V6 model
there is some real potential in those cars!
