Just remembered something i was doing a ghost race and taking the osaka title. The car behind was -4m but it hit my car? How can it hit me if it was 4m behind me.

I reached 380kmph in an mr2 Im serious about this.

and ur point is.......

i dont know. Reached it in story mode, the other car speed up and then hit me. Like, when then speed up heaps...then crash.

someone did 400km/h.

Hey Dan, are you Daniel Ly on Facebook?

yes thats him.

Your input is amazingly valuable.

I am the Licensee of a Liquor store.

Ah, I see. No wonder you knew your drinks when we went out.

Geo and Roxas3 know where it's at.

The FTO is a great car. I have had mine for 5 years.

The FTO is actually the rival to the Integra Type R. The FTO was also released in 1994 and won Japanese car of the year for 1994. I think the styling of the car still holds to today's modern cars and proves itself an excellent daily driver.

To everyone crying about it being FF, unless you intend it to use it on track (ps. this car was MADE for circuit driving), whether the car is FF or FR isn't going to really matter for day to day driving. I use this car everyday, it is awesome. I have test driven a lot of cars (as I am with great disappointment getting rid of this car within it's next 30,000km which will bring it to 230,000km...I bought it at 80,000km, just did it's 200k service which was expensive) from Civic Type R, Z33, BMW Z4, HSV GTS, Evo 8 MR...and I am going to have an extremely hard time finding the next step up from this current car.

Unlike all the above cars which I had some type of qualm about, the FTO to me is a perfect daily driver. It's a sturdy engine that has not let me down ever, reasonable power stock (150kw) and great handling. I've taken it up many windy roads and it really thrives around the corners when you throw it into 2nd gear and allow MIVEC to scream.

Modifying these cars can become insane. I know people with turbo'd FTO's on 6psi that embarrass WRX's.

The bad points about this car:

- It's an import. You -need- contacts or to be part of the FTO car club who have access to spare parts for servicing. Otherwise it is expensive.
- A general bad point about imports: insurance will be through the roof for these cars if you don't have maximum NCB.
- A common Mitsu problem is reverse gear sometimes doesn't go in but this is easily fixed by putting into first, then reverse.
- Idling problem, but easily fixed.

Other than that, given the age of the car (mine is a 1995 model GPX) it would be my choice for anything as a Jap daily driver of that period of time.

Oh yeah, only consider GPX version or the true circuit spec GPvR (1998 model). Those two are the best models. The GPX has all the power of the GPvR but luxury features (for it's time) whereas the GPvR is more race-spec without climate control etc. but the trade off is improved suspension etc.

tl ; dr: Purely my opinion, the FTO is an awesome drive. 5 years with it is proof.

Lady at hungry jacks was dumb. We were at the drive thru and we ordered a storm desert. She then said ' I'm sorry we do not sell storms here, would you like a choc top instead. ' My mum was like..... alright then, then the lady said ' Sorry we dont sell choc tops anymore. Would you like a m&m storm? '

Like wtf ?
