Chris' Mitsubishi GTO

More Autobahn driving provided some entertainment for the faster cars among the group. A race between the undergroundgraphics.com Mitsuishi GTO and a local Corvette Z06 left our car begging for mercy as they pulled away from our poor Vectra at over 150mph. J Tuner, January 2006

The GTO always offered speed and comfort, but an extreme weigt loss programme from Sitech Racing has turned this Mitsubishi into a lean, tuned track toy. Banzai, January 2009
