An early 90's Japanese Supercar that cost a lot less than a Ferrari and actually could outboost a Ferrari. Available naturally aspirated with either auto transmission or manual or twin turbo in manual gearbox only because if you own a cool car you should be able to drive a manual.
The 3 litre V6 put out a ton of power even though the car weighed more than the Titanic and definitely handled better because it didn't hit an iceberg.
Available in USA as the 3000Gt VR4 which was the twin turbo and was left hand drive. The GTO was the Japanese and made for the JDM market and was imported into Australia, New Zealand and I think Britain.
A difficult car to work on and quite complicated hence the low numbers but they didnt rust.

Get the Mitsubishi GTO mug.Mitsubishi eclipse RS, GS, GS-Turbo, GSX-all wheel drive
Though very fast cars in there own perspective. They have many flaws such as but not limited to Crankwalk, Bent valves(see broken timing belts) shitty timing belts, and failing automatic transmissions. The RS and GS eclipses ARE NOT FAST they are rice wagons and are most likey driven by a ricer (see ricer,ricer burner, wigger, or wigger ricer for definition) THe rs and some GS modelsshare a common engine with the dodge neon the 420a engine a dohc 150hp 132ft/lb 2.0 4 cyl engine fast in a neon r/t or ACR- a 2500 or less pound car ,SLOW ASS HELL IN A 3200-3500 pound eclipse. these eclipses should not be mistaken with the 210 hp 4g63 turbocharged engine in the GS-T or GSX- these cars share this engine with older Mitsubishi Lancer EVO's. these engines however(unlike the eclipses 420a) can be very easily upgraded on STOCK INTERNALS to be 400+hp which has been proven over and over again. NO this car is not a ricer by any means. rs and gs can be and most likey are.

MAN my mitsubishi eclipse rs has a racing fart can and high performance cold air intake and i still couldnt take that ford mustang GT, why did that mitsubishi eclipse GSX with just a lil boost controller could?
ricer: man my mitsubishi eclipse rs runs over 38psi
eclipse GSX owner: yeah in your tires. people like you that drive the base models of the fast cars give the real version of the car a bad name!.

Get the Mitsubishi Kolt mug.A womans car. Last year almost 70% of new car registrations of Eclipse in the United States were done by women. Designers of the eclipse admit it was designed with the female market in mind.
Official list of top womens cars
1.Mitsubishi Spyder Eclipse
2.Saturn l-300
3.Toyota Rav 4
4.Mitsubishi Eclipse (not spyder)
5.Land Rover Freelander
6.Ford Mustang (girly car not womens car)
this is not to be confused with Ford Mustang which is not a womans car. It is actually a Girls car, usually seen at drivers ed parking lots. Big difference.

Get the mitsubishi eclipse mug.Tritons is a sports utility or luxury 4x4. Has come a long way with reliable engines which are cheap to run when looked after the correct way. Besides the suspension squeak in the rear when loaded the Triton a real value statement.
Real mature people who are smart and arent show offs drive these and aren't scared of other jelous drivers who drive similar vehicles but won't admit it.

Get the Mitsubishi Triton mug.One of the biggest pieces of shit ever offered by the Mitsubishi Motor Company. It was assembled in Normal Illinois coming off the same line as the Eagle Talon from 1990 to 1999 and had zero actual Mitsubishi content being of all Chrysler heritage. Eclipses are preferred by chicks and queers.
Look at that POS Mitsubishi Eclipse, man that guy seems like the kinda guy that would also drive a Ford Probe.
