    Wink

    I came within an eyelash of buying a black one about 10 years ago...I passed only because it was automatic & I wanted a manual trannie.

    turbo-charged 4cyl w/ rwd. Sold as either a Mitsubishi Starion or Chrysler Conquest TSI Turbo.

    Being almost all my life a big fan of Mitsubishi's I would have to agree with you on this one. I've had 4 Starions/Conquest and they are amazing machines. So my list:
    -1987-1989 Mitsubishi Starion/Conquest TSI
    -1991-1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR4 (2500 units made)
    -1994 Mitsubishi Galant GS (1500 units made)
    -199? Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Spider (500 units made)

    I am hooked on this affordable and limited production car search. This is the reason why I bought my VX. I currently own an Acura NSX and an Toyota MR-S and I think both cars are well qualified to be on the list.
    I would also consider the following cars: Mazda RX7 3rd gen (FD3S), MK4 Supra (JZA80), Mitsu 3000GT VR4, Datsun 240/260/280Z, Toyota Starlet (KP81), Toyota Corolla Sprinter (Mango).

    I had one, that was a fun car, looked just like that blue one. How about that AWD Porsche that came out in the 90s I think. They won baja or the Dekar with it. It was a 911 of some sort.
