Coming home from work as usual, in the slow lane, just relaxing and enjoying the unseasonable warm weather (50+ in February, in MISSOURI!?!?!? who woulda thought) when i see sumthing silver coming up on my left side...i slow a bit to try and see what it is and a 99 Mitsu Galant with 80-spoke knockoff lo-pro's and a huge fart can and turbo (i assume, any other reason to have IC?) roll past me :P now i try not to race (my poor car is in bad shape already) but i couldn't help myself....i sped up a bit and pulled in behind them....A friend from work, (the guy in the escort i beat from another post) was a coupla car lengths back and watched it all, we got to the light (it leads to a little offramp type road that almost no one uses)i had pulled into the right lane again, and i revved, he revved, i smiled sat back in my seat and pushed the needle to 4.5k and put her in first......light turned i dropped the clutch and we were off, he stayed even through first then i hit second and dropped the gas pedal to the floor, after second he was done, i held thru 3rd and 4th and let off at 90 (the road was quickly merging) he was 2 car lengths when i let off, he turned off at the next exit, i smiled all the way home.......at least galants aren't the ugliest cars in the world (i think that spots reserved for Ford Focuses) and his car was decent lookin...

I got one for u 91 gallant VR-4 ...race one of those ....it would give u a better run ,,,,

Rob x-7

same engine as the Eclipse and they sell turbo kits and intercoolers for those 4cyl engines, so it would be easy to bolt it up to a Galant, but it only gives the car about 210hp total, its a heavy car, the v-6 galant has 200hp, but a stock 4cyl only has 140.

Erik

so was this in broad daylight that you saw an intercooler up front?



Streets is right though...a Galant VR-4 would pull with EASE on a stock n/a FC...a modded one would most likely pull hard

I had a '91 GVR4 before I bought my FD, whenever I have need for a 4-door that is what I will be looking for again. I called it the 4-door sedan version of the Eclipse GSX. Too bad you didnt race one of them, would make you reconsider the body kit you mention in your sig.

Mr. Ashe

hehe a VR-4 would make an *** out of you.



I'm considering one. beat the hell out of the engine and swap in an Evo 4G63T suhleeper!

Yea, I was looking at one of those before.. but I thought they looked kinda goofy looking..

djgiantrobot

i know a guy in my area with one that just dynoed at over 400whp. Keep in mind this is awd. I've seen him yank a front tire off of the ground on a launch too.

Mr. Ashe

You can always go for the G-Lants big brother. The 3000GT VR-4.

I really dont know why you would even consider a heavy car like the 3kgt when you have the more suitable eclipse and galant--which btw can be made respectable by doing the (required for us market cars) engine swap.

I had one of those keep up with me through 1st, although it started to fall back once i hit 2nd before i killed it...
