I eat them on tracks monthly, and yes I have driven them. I have a lot of respect for the performance that they get out of them, but let's face it, they are Lancers that have an obscene turbo'd engine but not much else.

If GM stripped a base model car and put a 300hp engine in there, the internet would be all over about how Government Motors can't innovate and what a POS it is. But the Japeneese do it and it's such an innovation.

Showing how little you know: GM had the Cobalt SS up until MY 2008 or so and it is pretty much what you described (a base model front wheel drive car with a turbo charged engine) and from what I saw (I briefly thought about buying one) it got rave reviews.

What about the Neon SRT-4?? Same deal. Hell the Buick Grand National is one of the hottest collector cars to this day, and by his definition is just another "turbo'd" Buick. I mean, he's just so thick.

He just comes off as some bitter or stubborn American V-8 guy to me. Claiming some kind of pro-Japanese bias while at the same time ignoring all relevant American examples to the contrary.
