Subaru or Mitsubishi
I must say mitsubishi was my first love
But once i got my hand on a subaru it was all over
I've got a mitsubishi eclipse rs in the garage that use to run 12's
But now it doesn't do much of anything with that big hole in the block
And that was done on 8psi boost
So i will stick wit the subaru for now
Anyone want to buy a ecilpse needs work

Mitsu's don't own Subarus. Anyone with enough money can make any car ridiculously fast.
BTW, Plymouth is part of Chrysler so technically the car company itself is not out of business. Mitsubishi itself is having major problems selling cars however. This is due to the Mitsu SUV's in Japan setting on fire O_o
Rumor has it Dodge will be selling the Evolutions if and when Mitsubishi bows out of the car business.
On a side note... You guys should have come out to the streetcar shootout last night. People were qualifying with 16.0's on the Import side :P

To the HE that started this thread If you want to talk about time's talk about times. Don't bash us because we don't have any 11's second Subarus or that you don't go on the day our people go. Besides I could bash on your driving skills all day.

PS: to anyone that want to learn how to drive (not in a straight line) come to a Solo II or Superlap event and I'll help you as much as possible. Everyone has to start somewhere. Most people aren't born as Michael Schumacher.
