See the Mitsu Starion is a cool car to drive with but project wise, there hasnt been any action to justify this car. All I here about the Starions is jus drag racing & keeping it nice. There is really any aftermarket parts for this car unless u did a custom jobs to it but overall, IMO the car is sweet but its a dud in the long run, good luck!

they're cool, they're fast, they can be made much much faster. I'm not seeing the dud part... |

The "dud" part is theyre known to have reliability problems. They seem to end up in the shops a lot for this or that.
Theyre pretty cool cars i must admit my friendh as oen (thinks its the best car on 4 wheels). But they do have their draw backs. Stock they make around 170 hp at aroudn 5000 rpms and like 220 poudns of torque at 2500 rpms on a turbocharged 2.6 liter engine. They also weigh in at aroudn 2800-2900 pounds. After market support in the suspension department isnt exactly the greatest either. Great cars when they run.. but theyre a bit heavy for what they are, and dont have a lot of after-market support. |

SidewaysGTS...i didn't say it was easy, but they are cool, potentially fast, and an unusual car. I wouldn't regard it as a dud. A dud has no potential, this car has it in spades. I'd rock it. |
