I do not like any car Mitsbubishi has ever made so I can not possibly pick any of them in any kind of vote. Unless they are up against a daihaitsu

Daihatsu's are actually good cars. Perhaps your meant Hyundai?

The only decent car Mitsubishi has ever made is the Lancer EVO but thats hardly made by mitsubishi anyway, RalliArt make most of it.

M make crappy engines, full stop. No reliability whatsoever and I'd stay well away from any M car that isnt an EVO.
Even the 3000GT is weak compared to other sports cars, even though it looks hot.

Plus, the civic and eclipse aren't really in the same class anyway to compare.

Take your pick... You can't really have that much difference between tags.

front wheel drive turbo, non turbo, awd turbo, 4g63 motor or 420a(neon motor). Any 420a motor in a dsm is very slow. The 4g63 is the same motor as a evo VIII so how can you like them but not a older dsm??Same motor. As far as speed the only hondas that can beat a stock awd turbo is the s2000, typeR and Maybe a gsr integra with a damn good driver. Reliability they are about the same at stock, once you mod a dsm they can become very unreliable unless built right, but when you think about it they put down really good numbers and any built car has a really high risk of breaking. Its just that there is more built dsm's that break than honda's. Most of the hondas you see driving around have nothing more than i/h/e. But if you see a really built honda and ask them they will probably tell you that they are not very reliable either if they are honest.

Actually the naturally aspirated eclipse only has like 130 base horespower and the turbo has like 210. It's still a fast car though, my ex girl had a 95 talon ( which is basically the same as the Eclipse) and I got that thing up to like 130mph on the highway,no joke.

I vote for honda just because i have one. The eclipse, laser, and talon turbo cars are all pretty cool cars though.

90 or 91 talon awd turbo. Its only runnin It is tuned at 18 psi so he doesnt want to go any higher than that otherwise something is bound to break and it will not be as efficient because his turbo is a big 16G and im pretty sure that they lose efficiency after 18 psi. Otherwise it just got forged internals, intercooler, 3in exhaust and dp, upgraded bov and wastegate, port and polished, 3 angle valve job head. This summer we are gonna put some HKS 264's or 272's in it.

Does your friend ride around with a crash helmet when driving that. Sounds scary dangerous.

What kinds of brakes does it have?

That thing sounds like a beast. I actually have another question, I went to a shop today and asked about makin a custom exhaust, while I was there I asked if they do custom headers but the guy said no, then another guy that worked there said that I couldn't put a header on my car because the cat is right after the header. I just wanna know if you ran into this problem when you got yours done or if they relocated your cat or something, cause i'm just thinking of doing it anyway and just removing the cat. What do you think?

A big turbo can take more than 18psi
Sounds very worked, Im jealous....

HKS turbo's are awesome. My friends MR2 has a HKS something or other turbo, it's scarily fast even on stock internals.
