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...

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

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:
