One of these does pizza deliveries near me. It's (unfortunately) really bad chinese.

Papa Johns once had a GT -> Cobra clone Terminator Mustang with a beautiful exhaust system deliver locally too.

I would stop over and after a while I'd say something like "wanna get some beer? Let me take you car an I'll buy" (me riding motorcycle) Worked every time. In 45 minutes I would return. "That took a long time, where did you go"? "Had to go down the hill and they were busy."

Really?

I was under the impression that most of the OZ's and Ralliarts were just badged up, tarted up Lancers with nothing too much to offer in terms of sheer excitement. I've only been in one, and I think it was n 05 Oz or maybe Ralliart and it left me very underwhelmed.

That said, my good buddy has an 09 Ralliart and it's just a detuned Evo, basically. But I was under the impression the FWD cars were just tarts with badges and wheels?

Correct me if I'm wrong?

You are probably right. Just OZ wheels and fancy paint. I think the suspension had some tweaks, but not sure. I drove mostly a motorcycle and P/U truck so small sporty car is always fun.

Yeah.

I'm like, 90-90% sure about that. The Oz's and Ralliarts were just tarted up base cars with some very moderate changes developed for the NA market since all the good Mitsu's of the time weren't being sold in CanadAmerica.

All of the ones I've seen still have drum brakes in the back. I equate these to the Corolla S

Drum brakes? Drum roll.

Rimshot.

are these turbo?

I hit a wombat in one of the base model ones a couple of years ago, the car survived without much damage, so they must be built pretty well.

My brothers ex-girlfriend had one of these, same color to. To get the car to move with the A/C running and 3 people in the car you practically had to dump the clutch off the light.

That's like the Subaru we have. We call it the turbo button. It shuts off the A/C.
