    Mitsi GTO Twin Turbo

    The bloke I work for took me out in his GTO Twin Turbo few days ago and fook me it was quick!!!
    He said it is pushing 530+bhp, will try and find out full spec and get some pics soon.
    All I could get from him was the following:
    Superchipped & remapped
    Uprated turbos (possibly hybrids)
    Supercharger
    Head and other engine work

    0 - 60 in around 5sec

    Just a shame they dont look as nice as the Evo...

    Standard 0-60 is about 5.5 and thats with 280bhp. I should hope its faster than that

    Agreed, 530bhp should be much faster than 5 secs. Think it's a case of "how big is my ****" from this guy.

    They also handle like a cow. No point having loads of power and no control. :xmas4:

    Mine handled fine round bends and twisties.

    Power and control were not an issue, it was very agile as well.

    He is a bit like that and I take everything he says with a pinch of salt. It felt a lot quicker than 5 secs to 60 but thats the figure he quoted, maybe he just cant drive!
