If it says "CONFIDENTIAL" on it, then send it on over to me or someone else, and we'll post it anonymously. No one will ever have to know where it came from.

 

I would say that Porsche insurance is pretty stout, and Mitsubishi
may not want their car to compete in that arena. I'm really
not sure if this is the reason, just a theory. None of our reps
seem to have a whole lot of information on it, they just drop
little bits and peices of hints just enough to keep us salivating.
I'm just glad the car is really on its way

 

Sorry Sport! Out here, all the tests by the great auto mags of the world dont count. You gotta take atmospheric pressure (we are near to the lowest point on the earth here!!!!), catalytic converters (not mandatory), fuel quality (very bad) and air temperature (quite moderate) before you can set the records straight on who can run the quarter mile faster.

Incidentally, the scooby i was buying was an STI souped up by the nephew of the main dealer - The car was cherry (2000 model, Prodrive ECU, full Prodrive Exhaust System, and a couple of small mods) and probably the fastest scooby out here. But pound for pound, the car couldn't hold up with my Evo, although, in all fairness, it did dust a 5 GSR at the local strip...

Again, it all comes back to where on the planet you are as well as the variables i mentioned above...

 

I think the Porche survived the 35 mph crash test with minimal engine damage, however, when the same test was done at 35 mph in reverse the cost of the damage was substantially greater thereby eliminating the advantage of protecting the engine by placing it in the rear, thus causing the insurance rates to go up.

 

Heh,heh, I also find it funny when I see skid marks that skid to the inside of a corner and then you hear people commenting "Oh, looks like they were going too fast". Um, No, they probably could have been going a lot faster, they just panicked when the back end stepped out a bit as they had let off the gas, then in their "Oh my god" dispair stepped on the brakes.
