They do look a bit fun, would love to take one for a spin. The V6 lump sounds great too 8-)

Nice!
I always feel these are a bit different, as most people get Evo's when they get a Mitsubishi. Nice car.

Is it loud? I remember seeing one and it was insanely loud!
Also who's Orange Supra? 8-)

I sold it for the following reasons:

1) I'm stupid!!!
2) I bought it broken thinking I would have an easy time repairing it.
3) PARTS!!! Try finding a rear wiper arm!! This brings me onto my next point:
4) The only 2 places that knew what a GTO was were Evil Empire Performance and Eurospec!! So if you wanted any work done, Eurospec was the one. Don't get me wrong they're a nice bunch of people and I'd trust my car to them in a heartbeat, but I just wish the prices were slightly more accommodating.
5) My mum :D
6) I want another prelude!!!!!!

Overall it was an amazing machine once she was working. The all wheel drive system combined with the ~400bhp made it killer both off the line and on a run. Off the line up to 60mph, it was slightly slower than a tuned evo or sti because of the longer gear ratio's but after that it would fly.

It didn't sound as good as an inline 6 turbo, especially off boost. The Supra used to be mine but not any more sadly.
