The EVO IX is quite a piece of work now that they've finished the turbo with the MIVEC heads. I guess RPW lost that race!

But seriously the Ferrari F355 Spyder garnished with twin HKS turbos.

The EVO IX MIVEC isn't the same as the one in FTO or Cybor R, the MIVEC in all the new Mitsubishi range really is just "marketing", such a shame

I hope we stick to the list of cars we actually can afford this time or this thread will be the 4th "fantasy" list ehhehehee

Hahaha, I think the list would change dramatically with those rules Kev.

Besides, how can you all know if you want those cars unless you've driven them??

Audi A4 turbo would also b nice,i love the new shape

Nacho · Post by **Nacho** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 4:10 pm

The GTO has always been a personal favourite. It's just to my understanding that the engine is hard to work with because the engine is massive like the Nissan VG series.

I saw one last night for SummerNats.

T'was blue with white stripes up over the top of it....was haaaawt.

The best thing about it is the width I reckon. It just gives it a bit more beastly presence. Other than that the shape of FTO is still better. Why couldn't they have made the FTO faster?
