Unless you're planning on getting Walter Rohrl or Hans Stuck to drive it, Mr. Gates would need a lot more than a short trip to really show what the car can do.

someone just start a poll hopefully we can get enough positive results and support to send AMS race team over the pond. but someone should ask AMS if they wants to do it before anyone jumps to conclusions. move this to the motorsports section as well

890 bhp/10,500 rpm redline on a 2.0L road racing TA car? I doubt there are many cars on this board that could keep up with that.

I'd be interested to see what a stock one would do. Then for grins, the souped up one.

But mainly the stock one.

lol - Dreaming is priceless

one could only wish to see Ryan's car, and Ryan at the ring, tearing apart that asphalt!

and now that we're talking bout this... I wonder why hasn't Mitsubishi sent the X FQ-400 to the 'Ring ??? maybe cause it's still topping at 155mph?

stupid Mitsu lol

Stock one was already at the 'Ring... Mitsu engineers where speaking about it with Mr. Yamauchi (creator of GT) while they test-drove the X at the Nordschleife (or however the F you write that lol) Nurburgring

The top speed is really what hurts the Evo on the ring.
