150kw stock and 8,500 Redline thanks to the MIVEC doesn't sound to shabby to me. Id rather a high revving car than a high performance. GTO's and FTO's are both in Australia. The FTO is really low probably becuase every one I have seen has been lowered but I got my Lancer slammed 60mm and the FTO seems to still be lower, but I still haven't seen a GTO, well in my town anyway.

Cheers

Yep alan, the Fto is very low stock, although you can still get the springs and stuff to lower it more.. we have a importer here who specialises in FTO's and RVR's, and i measured mine upto it after the springs been put in, and damn, i just beat it they are very study cars though, i'd take one to the track over my lancer anyday

Yeah, got a few FTO's in my town but only one RVR. Pitty that the FTO only came in FWD but still one very nice car.

When it comes time to say goodbye to my lancer, i really wanna stay with mitsi, but i also heavily into helping out the drifting scene here in Bunbury, always at the meets, always helping out in the pit areas, always go out in the lancer and put it sideways for the guys, FWD style but .. the only way to do that RWD is to buy a pigma, scorpion or Starion... but i want something at least mid 90's

Not much drifiting happens here that I know of, probably becuase none of us has any points left on our licence's
But, I would have to say the same, if I was going to sell the Lancer it would either be some other kind of Lancer (Magna, GSR or EVO) or a Rex.

Cheers

yeah, GSR's are starting to pop up now, but all for around the 20 grand mark, and they are all modified here.. so getting a stock one cheap is pretty hard to find
