More like: "So HOT" because those things have the habit of spontaniously combusting

Does the GSR has a Ralliart pack (I don't mean stickers here)?? Do you mean the Lancer Ralliart?

Its call the touring package and available for late 09's and up Lancer, Lancer RA and Lancer Evo X. I have it on mine the only things you cant get in a regular Lancer is the Recaro racing seats at least last time i checked.

Can you tell me what the package includes? Does it have the BBS rims included?

I suggest you check Mitsubishi's Japanese official website since there are 5 GSR packages and 1 RS packages. Each include different acessoires. Use google translate if you need to see the English meaning.

not only in available options but also the much larger increase in performance

I'll give you that point, however realize that not everyone is interested in modifying their cars, especially when factory warranties come into play. Although Ford Racing products are covered under warranty last I heard.

The appeal of the M3 however is that it can do those impressive numbers, while being a comfortable and complacent daily driver when you're not in the mood. I've toyed with the suspension of all the car's I've owned, and in my own personal opinion, an aftermarket suspension will never be as comfortable as an OEM setup on a day to day basis. Which again, could turn a lot of people off to that route. Again, I guess what I'm trying to say is that most people aren't going to cross-shop these two cars. The average mustang shopper isn't interested in luxury and comfort, and the average M3 owner isn't bothered about the aftermarket possibilities.

You mean that?

It's the V10 engine that has the problems

Audi R8's have been seen aflame alongside the road

something about the injectors not shutting off when a sparkplug is placed into shutdown (failsafe mode heh)
and keeps pumping fuel into the redhot manifold

Oh no, then according to Jeremy the Germans who designed the engine would be shot at dawn........quick, save them!!! XD

Too late, they shot themselves already.

Toyota went and bought a 370Z. Let the copies begin!

PS. Nice, a car thread. NOW I feel at home.

The successor to the offical otakumobile, the Corolla AE86

(Not that it looks like a 86 nor a Corolla.)

... why is it NOT called a Toyota Celica?


i can't wait for the Best Motoring/Hot Version evaluation and the inevitable comparison between honda s2000.

also it would be interesting to see if honda s2000's chassis rigidity (the most rigid sports car sans hardtop when it came out 11 years ago...) could still hang on with the new generation of midship FR lightweight coups from toyota and subaru.

Best Motoring/Hot Version ceased production in May, so there goes that...

Because it has a boxer engine, not a poodle engine, so my guess it will be called Supra. If there is ever going to be version with folding roof, that one will be called Celica ^^

[MitsubishiZero]

It's name is called Toybaru.....in my mind.

I like the styling, both Toyota's and Subaru's version. Toyota wanted it to be the 86 of today, while Subaru probably wanted something coupe-ish to snatch some customers from Zs and S2000s, and indeed the Genesis Coupe.

I almost cry when they ceased production of the Supra. 2JZs are such sweet machines, a proper STRAIGHT 6 engine. Too bad even BMW are switching to turbo 4s these days, but I guess the environment is important too.

Leaked pics of Toyota FT-86 and Subaru BRZ STI Concept for those who haven't seem them

i'd keep the S2000
just slap a mugen top and call it a day!

the butter-smooth & screamer VTEC and bolt action riffle-like shifter/clutch is worth in gold! this is hard to give up... and will be hard to find another one perfectly matched like that ever again.

I am actually disappointed that the scooby version won't have AWD, I mean that is one of the main points for getting a scooby. Think this will be their first car, since the first subaru car, that is rear wheel driven.
