Mmm go the twin turbo VR-4. I had the previous model sedan before I had the FTO. Very nice underrated cars...

If you'd got a tiptronic 98 or newer, they have 280hp...

Hmm i saw that exact same car on sale last yr, is it still for sale?? When are you getting it, or you have to wait till you sold your FTO?

This is probably Mistubishi's answer to the Stagea.
Such a nice looking car too!

Oh and Kev, I think he was joking...

Stagea is faster, cheaper & easier to work on hehe, & they got the 260RS which use the RB26DETT, is the fastest shopping trolley apart from the RS6.

Dam i though he would be serious since he posted in the general section.

Yeah a quick carsales search revealed the name, but alas, no cigar for me

And imagine the look on a smug commodore drivers face when you blast past him in a 260RS......grocery getter my arse!

If you refering to the 260RS, then no, the pic you got is the RS4 version of the Stagea with front lip add on & brake upgrade, but its still a RB25DET.

Here are some pics of the 260RS

But tell me you wouldn't be pissed if it spat rubber all over you and left you in a pile of smoke at a set of lights...

I dunno, its got that wolf in sheeps clothing appeal

To be honest I get that all the time from 17 year olds in mummies golf etc. Doesn't bother me in the slightest............. until the next set of lights!

The 260RS Stagea is incredibly rare. We have heaps of Stageas over here, and most of them are just the garden variety 2.5L RB25DE RWD models. However they do come with 4WD and with the RB25DET turbo motor as well.

Although there is a RB26DETT powered one here that runs 11s

The 4WD turbo Stageas are probably better performers than the Legnums because they have the RWD biased 4WD system from the GT-R. But in my opinion the Legnums look way better...

And you can get Legnum VR-4s (and Galant VR-4 sedans) from around $12k over here now

If you don't like large wagons, the other cool one you can get over here is the Toyota Caldina GT-T - a medium sized wagon which has the 191kw 3S-GTE Celica turbo motor and 4WD drivetrain. They are one nice looking car:
