I am sorry about you getting your license at the times when "moggy
with Holden 6 cylinder and a set of 'widies'" was top of the range.
I am more concerned with car performance and the ease of experimenting
with it's parameters, it seems to me that for these purposes
Mitsubi**** are as good (if not better) than any other car. I did not
have to "remove" my engine, because it already comes with V6, all I
had to do was to play with little things like timing, supercharging,
airflow, exhaust and I had as much fun as most...
And it was cheap too, I did not buy it new, and these days you can get
FTO in UK for about =A32K and who cares about fading paint...
