Eh. The FTO? We did technically get the GTO at least for a while. It was just badged the 3000GT. The FTO handles supposedly, but it lacks juice.

TVR will be stateside soon. That Russian rich guy brought it and plans to expand their market.

You're also forgetting one mighty Ford... the Falcon! The twin-turbo 6 is a beast.

The FTO GPX is Mitsu answer to the ITR. As far as I know, no other company wants to to be even in the same ring as the ITR.

Plenty of cars in the ring and competitive with ITR. Just not sold here in the states.
