Starion hands down.

But then again, if it's a tired motor and basically been run down....It could be close.

Thats like putting Ruby (Stock as VN) up against Charg'd (HSV VT XU6 S/C). No competition.

Unsure what 1vngal is on at the moment, but the Aussie Toyota Starion JA 1984 (last year of production) ran a 9.2 second 0-100 and a pitiful 17 second quarter.

The VS should put it to shame fairly well :)

The ES and ESI-R versions were much quicker.. But they used a 2.6 litre engine, not a 2.0L and were only offered in the States and I dont think they were offered in the JA range they were in the next generation i think

Well, I wasn't sure so I went searching for starion times etc and what I found said that the starion would woop the VS piece of cake. Maybe I did find the American info, new versions whatever.

But I went looking for a non-biased answer :p

Pretty sure Australia got the JA, JB & JD.

And the G54B 2.6 that the yanks got didn't make any more power anyway. As for what would win down the strip, I'd say they'd be pretty evenly matched.

Oh and it is a Mitsu, not a Toyota! :thumbsup:
