Nice job Tom!! Yep It's a Mitsu Galant LS

Galants are race cars!

oOOooOohhhhh..blah

So the Focus is no more???
You traded it in or you sold it to someone.
Call me you basturd!!!!!

I see Galants around Elmhurst a lot, there's a Mitsu dealer nearby and a few of my neighbors have them.

What color, trim level? What dealer?

The Galant isn't a bad lookin' car, especially in silver, ofcoarse

Any mods in the future for it, like rims, exhaust, suspension, etc

It's a 2001 Mitsu Galant LS Fully Loaded w/leather interior and wood trim. A drop is in the future for no. Appearance mods for now until the warranty is up. By the way the color is Dover White Pearl.

Only Mitsu I would own (if I could afford it) is an EVO.

The Galant doesn't look THAT bad.

I wish I did!!

Yeah I was just kidding guys.

Or is it a Saturn LS V6?

So far, no problems with Greenie other than dumping the Yoko tires for Michelins. But then I've only put 9000 miles on it in 10 months.

If there are any meets, how about posting info and sticking to a set plan?

Just because your car broke....

These cars aren't meant for drag races, so I'm not surprised people have problems with them after they do so.

Noone drives there car hard here, this is the granny section!!!

Hey Phil nice purchase man, that car is clean as hell.
For those of you that don't know, Phil already got a long list of mods for the car he hasn't even had a week!!!!

Man that cars gonna look sweet when he's finished.

I believe Hoalt is the only person from CCEG with more passes down the drag strip than me and the ONLY issue I have with my car is the clutch wearing out. but that has nothing to do with drag racing it it staarted to slip at 74,000 miles, hell if alot more miles that my escort had on it when the clutch went out it had only 40,000 miles on that and it never was drag raced. really NO production car is ment for drag racing, true drag cars the rebuild the engine after EVERY pass and the also replace the clutch too. you look at any other type of race and they do a rebuild after races too.

Don't know about that. I averaged 10-15 trips down the strip with the focus. Maybe that is why it's gone now.
