First, get rid of the auto. The power you're looking for will kill the trans very quickly - not to mention that it will suck about 17% of your power just running the stupid thing.
Next, you're looking at a turbo - this is the only possible way to make that sort of power. Don't get your hopes up, though - Mitsubishi engines aren't very good at holding together at decent horsepower levels. Even the new EVO VIII was withdrawn from the WRC for unreliability, and that's a full factory job with an almost unlimited budget. Then you can start thinking about all the work you'll have to do to the suspension, brakes...ain't no good having power if you can't use it.
Basically, for the cost of about 4 Mustangs (possibly more), you could possibly make your car as fast - but it will fall apart very quickly. This isn't to say that good power can't be extracted from small engines - but this is not the car to do it with.

it is possible with time and money I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Gallant ES and love my car and have out raced several mustangs on the drag strip. how ever like many other people were saying it requires a lot of time and money. I would swap the transmission for a manual out of a eclipse transmission. (everything is better with a Manuel). then begin your engine work I had mine pulled and bored out to create more power along with rebuilding the entire engine. after that was done I had a cold air intake a custom filter and a new header put on. last I added a 30 psi turbo and a 50 shot of nitros now if your going to put nitros on the car DO NOT USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER!!!! mine was built strictly for racing on the drag strip. and if your going to add all this power to the car don't forget upgraded brakes suspension and possible frame reinforcement. best of luck I fixed mine up and love it. but don't get me wrong while it may compete with a mustang it is defiantly not a sports car it was never designed to race so it will require tedious work and care.

What did you mom say? If you really want it to go faster then the Saleen or GT then your looking are more money then the car is worth. Aftermarket turbo, head work, engine work. Exhaust system new computer, new internals for the transmission to allow it to handle the new ponies. Not to mention changing the final drive of the transmission. You’re asking an economy car to be a race car. You can spend thousands of dollars and most likely still fall short. these motors are just not built for a lot of pressure to be put on them. If you have the cash do it but it's not going to be worth your time.

Anything is possible with with enough money. That said the amount of money needed to put in the galant to make it fast enough to beat a saleen would be more than the what the car is worth.

You won't reach those speeds, but you can make them go a lot faster. Change the cam shaft for a good quality racer. Replace the standard exhaust manifold with a set of tuned extractors, or headers as they are also known. I would also recommend replacement of the old auto box with a manual one. Apart from that, you can also have the computer upgraded with a race chip. As I said, no mustang or such, but a whole lot faster.

Whew you can do a lot of thing with this baby. First, change the engine. I suggest you go out and buy a 4G63T MIVEC engine with a manual tranny of course. Upgrade you intake with an upgrade on your filters, headers, and muffler. Add a turbo, intercooler, plugs, and ECU. you might want to consider upgrading the brakes when you have this all. hehe.
A nice set of rims and bodykit will compliment the speed!
Goodluck!

An exercise in futility, Gil.

about the only way to make a jap car go that fast is to take the emblems off the jap car and put them on the American car
