My friend has a GTO and had a manual boost controller on it. He raced a C5 from a roll and pulled it.

I think we have reached a communications impass. In Japan, the VR4 Mitsubishi 3000 GT is designated as a "GTO" Thus I refer to it as a GTO since that is its name in it's country of origin. Sorry for the confusion. I was confused when I first became aware of this tid-bit of fact as well.

correct. They came with a 13g compressor wheel and mr gearing. A little better than our stateside ones. There is a video of a stock 2nd gen beating a skyline by 1/2 a car in drag and a little more in the top speed run. Japanese video.

I was confused as well when I was stationed in Japan. The GTO is a 3000GT, only better.

Yes, and when we speak of the French Air Force we must refer to it as the "Armee de l'Air" because that's what they call it in France.

Just yanking your chain.

Wow, way to go with your "ownage" calls. I can think of a few forums along the lines of clubsi.com that could put your immaturity to use.

Really GXP, it's not that hard to relax and remember that this place is also a learning environment for us. Nothing slows anything down more than posts like yours.

Anyway, it's funny how you mention lazy people slowing the world down in the same paragraph as googling for information. We all know what kind of subjective, inaccurate information we usually get from Google.
