If you're talking about the Ferrari, they're very nice I've heard, but a bit expensive!

If you are talking about the Mitsi, I've heard that they are more of a fast tourer than a sports car. A bit like an updated 80's Supra.

Mitsi GTO are overweight (2 bloody tonnes), chest wig gas guzzlers.

Not cool.

Get a Supra if that's your bag baby.

What's the difference between the GTO and the 3000GT? Turbocharger?

If you like the GTO go for it, my mums a fan, now on her second, running approx. 515ps.

They're not as slow as people make out, they just don't seem as fast as they are, 0-60 in 5.7. They're also not as thirsty as they maybe should be at 1.85tonnes.

They are more of a tourer than a sports car though, although with a few mods they can be made to handle pretty well.

You're probably best asking about them on the GTO site.

Have you driven one? If yes, did you enjoy it?

You need to drive one, preferably with uprated suspension etc, see if you like it, you'll only get people opinions asking on a forum, and half the time they're only saying what they believe to be true not having first hand experience of the cars.

Go to your local import centre, have a drive of a GTO TT, Supra TT, R32 GTR, 300zx, (assuming they've got all of them there!), see what you like the look of and which you prefer driving then go from there.

Na, not unless you want a Supercar capable of 13s on the 1/4 170-180 MPH top end for 4-5 k..... you wouldn't want that, would you???
