    rare cars these VR4s but im not blown away by the 6.2s to 100kph - not with 2.5 litres and two on the turbo count..........wonder if they are heavy motors......

    i dare say the wick could be turned up a bit.

    Smaller, de-tuned version of the GT3000 engine and drivetrain, though. "Loadsa potential!".

    True but they are the same bhp, the Mitsubishi is 100kg's lighter, so which should be quicker????
