Wow!!! Very cool car that I didn't know much about. I guess that's because the latest generation Galant VR-4's besmirched the earlier Galant's reputation. Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I know the late model Galant VR-4's were not very awe-inspiring, unlike Gator's late model VR4(especially when you consider that the price climbed toward the $30k mark). Looks like a lot of fun! Good luck! (Your SVT sure was purdy tho!)

You know, that is when people (more than one usually) make stuff for your car and it is relativley inexpensive and produces gains? Like the K and N filter that shows a dyno proven 12 hp and 20 ft/lb of torque! Show me one mod on the SVTC that gives you that (dyno proven) for less than 50 bucks!

AWD, boost, a total sleeper, not to mention that Mitsu only made 3000 of them. Never heard of this car until this thread started and now I will certainly be aware that a Galant staging with me is NOT necessarily a gimmie win. BTW Gator, I want engine bay pics!
