I was employed by MMAL ( Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited ) for seven years before they closed down. I really liked the Mitsubishi Ralliart Magna version after I got a test drive in one. I thought that the manual version even with a limited-slip diff was very bad a putting the power down and first gear was almost unusable due to the the massive amount of wheel spin, so I went for the auto / Tiptronic which is a whole lot better.
I own a Mitsubishi Magna Ralliart and I get asked a few times What is better Ralliart Magna or Holden Commodore SS or Who would win in either a drag or circuit race between a Mitsubishi Magna Ralliart or a similar era Holden V8 these are great questions. I think that it would be close but the V8 would have the edge just because of the extra power, have a read about my car here.
