*Our* car isn't as "bad as it should be" for a turbo. You can't be talking s*** about other cars. It'll come right back and bite you in the ass. It's down to owner's preference. You can throw down all of the numbers you want but what it really comes down to is what *YOU* want.

I cant believe this is even posted on this site. Mitsubishi is proof that the Japanese CAN make an inferior product.

Diamond Star did get in some trouble once by the Japanese Gov for covering up defects. So I suppose that would be a strike against buying one.

I'm just sayin'... You can use that "bad as it could be" statement with any sports car.

True... youre very right...

I just think that if you have two turbos... you should be able to run better times than they do.. but its my opinion too and that isnt s***.. lol

I guess Im a lil byassed too seeing as how in high school a guy always talked smack about how his 300z tt could beat my 97 WS6 Formula(stock/automatic)........

Well we raced finally and to be honest I would have been surprised if he could have read my license plate.
 
Objectively. from a performance standpoint the MSP is better than a Ralliart. The statistics and information to prove this are readily available. From a personal standpoint, I just dont trust Mitsubishi. A girl I dated for a while had a 3G Eclipse(its a girls car after all)...and it had many quality control problems such as bent rims, a bad throw out bearing, the latch coming off on the hatch etc etc. The only Mitsu I would get would be an EVO simply for the fact it has a world renowned performance pedigree and Mitsu puts their best engineers and efforts into since it is their halo car.
 
Well I've made my decision, I will be going to the dealership on Tuesday to sign the lease on the MSP. I went to both dealerships and they we're price matching all the way. But in the end I think I can live without the sunroof. I'll just get a BOV and everytime I hear it go WHOOSH i'm sure i'll forget about not having the sunroof.

Another main factor is the limited release, I like having a car that i KNOW not too many people have. I mean I've seen 2 MSP's since they we're released and 1 was in the show room.

Thanks.

Not to get off topic or anything, But a 300ZX TT wouldn't get spanked by a WS6 (Stock/auto). My friend ran a black WS6 auto stock, and he only lost by 1 1/2 car lengh's. BTW: it was a 1990 300ZX N/A V-6 5-speed, with minor mod's done to it. So i'm sure a TT-300ZX woulda done a whole lot better.

Im just speakin of my experience... probably ran a lil over a quarter mile cuz I hit 120mph. But it was at least 2-3 cars....and to me, thats a spankin.. lol

but hey, its all IMO..(dunno)
 
get the MSP ! my bestfreind got the first Ralliart in Hawaii and to me it aint worth it unless you get the EVO.
 
I test drove a ralli art Lancer and the only reason i went to the dealership was to get 2fast2furious and a kick ass evo poster for free. I wanted to test drive the evo but they said only 4 serious buyers..anyways.....i don't wanna threadjack.....but they did do some nice things to the car....i mean the exhaust sounds really nice....but i'm glad i got my MSP

Ok, back on subject LOL...

I seen a lancer for the first time tonight.. I wasnt really impressed. It wasnt a Ralliart but still I think they really wasted their time. I went by him and the guy pracitically gizzed on my car as I went by. I just grinned. Now the Ralliart, it seems to me that the front end doesnt fit the rest of the car. a lil bit similar to the SRT4. Maybe thats just the crack I smoked earlier (confused) lol
 
NKS BB ------ if you reall want a moonroof, you can have one put in. It will cost you more but it is possible to have one because someone on here does have an MSP w/ a sunroof. go to the "PHOTO/VIDEO" page and do a search.
