Mitsubishi GTO

While this may seem to be an amazing car. It sort of is, for the fact that it is rare and exclusive in Malaysia. However like its sibling, the Mitsubishi FTO, both cars suck in power and handling. The FTO is heavy with the 2.0 V6 engine. (a 4g63 Mitsubishi Evo engine would fix it though) and the GTO 3.0 V6 suffers from the same problem. This is no NSX beater, nor it is faster than a Supra or a Skyline. Then again, it has the looks that mimics a Ferrari. But oh well, this car is really not that great.

You proliferate, defile and pollute the name that is G-T-O~!!! *damn I sound like a martyr*

I on the other hand wish to differ. I think it has the looks and power to perform. Not to mention that it does have 4WD.

206 kW (280 PS) at 6000 rpm 427 N·m (315 ft·lbf) at 2500 rpm ain't all that bad... *droolz*

Not to mention... It's just soooo... Soooo.... S-E-X-Y~!!!

the only GTO i have respect is that of the Pontiac GTO. This Mitsubishi doesn't live up to it, mate! LOL.

It does have a front styling of a Corvette however it probably doesn't perform like a Corvette.

Haha, don't shoot me, Scav

Aw... Making 427Nm of torque way down at 2500RPM dude... Even muscle cars can't make that...

Well, not before the recent LS1 engined ones. :P

I love it coz the Mitsu GTO was an icon of technology in its time. Plus, it'll be great for picking chicks up :P

Oh and I love the Pontiac GTOs as well... But not more than the '69 'Stang though!

It just so happens, our Production Consultant from the States has a '69 and a '68 Charger in his family along with a Ford F-250 Outlaw edition!!!

I dunno why, but big American muscle just has that low tech, tree ripping appeal to it!
