Mitsubishi Magna...
So, one of my mates is telling me he's getting a Ralli-art Magna, rated at 180fwkw from a 3.5L V6.. my question is, would it be quicker than a Mivec FTO? He thinks my '97 GPX won't stand a chance... any takers?
Cheers, Jake.

Re: Mitsubishi Magna...
He'd most probably take you in a straight line if you have no mods (if you have a tip, thats even more likely). I had a VRX Magna and it had pretty good accelleration off the mark. Around the corners is another matter though.

Re: Mitsubishi Magna...
Straight line Magna would win.
Corners... Be a fair game depending on the drivers and handling setup, if we're talking full factory, the FTO would handle better.

Re: Mitsubishi Magna...
The 3.5L V6 in the magna is so crap. Compared to a comparable year FTO the 6a12 is way better at not showing it's age. I get a lot of Magnas up to roadworthy spec for a finance company and you never find one without a stuffed/leaking engine. I think out of 30 I have looked at I reckon 29 of them were leaking from the rocker covers. Rocker bolts come loose to the point you can undo the bolt with ya fingers! Most were rough as guts and very noisy.

Yeah, but apparently this is some special version of the normal Magna engine that has been 'tuned' by Ralli Art, It would surely be one of the quickest cars a P plater could legally drive.payaya wrote:The 3.5L V6 in the magna is so crap

Re: Mitsubishi Magna...
The RB26 only came out in a turbo variant, more than likely your mate has a Neo RB25.phi-tec wrote:Lol ? Next time your free I'l get my mates rb 26 4 door Big Ugly Soap Box Racer around.

180kW was the production figure.

Not true, RB26 came out NA. Rare as f**k though!

Pretty sure something rediculous like only 5 made or something... so he would have meant an RB25 for sure lol. No way an FTO could beat a GTR.
