1986 Mitsubishi Galant, 2.4L 4 cylinder with 110hp @ 4500 rpms and 138 ft/lbs of torque @ 3500rpms. Car was damn slow! Weighed something like 2850 lbs. to boot.
Car had major tranny problems too, just like my '92 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Which is why I went with the Acura ... Which also ends up having potential tranny problems. I can't win! Next car will be a 6spd I think

I had a 93 with the 3.8L, 150hp/215tq. It held it own pretty well for the times I guess. Still slow but oh well. She's still running ok as my boss's beater.

for my 16th bday, my dad bought me a:
2002 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ Rally (I was so stupid then that I thought it was the EVO, I was so excited, lol)
a whopping 120hp / 130tq
I sold that on 1-30-04 and that very night went and bought myself an '01 CL Type-S...Couldn't be happier!
Here's a link to pics of my Lancer

1989 Toyota Camry DX -- 105hp, 0 torque
I never knew they could make an engine with only hp, and no torque until I drove the 1989 Camry. I couldn't even take on kids on bikes or powerwheels
