1989 Honda Prelude 4WS (lightly modded - body kit, exhaust, air filter, etc)
1995 Mitsubishi FTO GR (medium mods - HKS exhaust, wing, body kit, sports air filter, strut bars, etc)
2010 Mitsubishi Lancer VRX (stock as a rock - wife now drives it)
2016 Golf R (stock, so far.)
I've always been more interested in cornering speed than straight line, but it's been addictive having more power on tap. Loving it so far. Definitely a car I can see getting modded. Probably a tune, then full exhaust, sway bars, sexy rims... I like the idea of the haldex tune as well, not being able to left foot brake without the power being cut is irritating me.
