Well on Saturday b4 labor day I went to the Mitsu dealer in San Jose Stevense creek, Walked up & told them to open up the hood, looked clean & well organized my wife asked do you know when the turbo were coming to the states he said 2 years ok!


Then I asked how much HP is this car producing at the crank?

Dealer said: 120hp.

I said thats very low/ how much at the wheel.

Dealer said: 120hp!

I said how can that be at the crank & at the wheel is diffrent!

Dealer said: it's the same!

I said what are you crazy while my wife started laughing at the guy!

Dealer siad: let me call my manager boy!

I said boy what the f are you talking about your a sales man what the f are you doing on this lot shouldn't you know the car your selling a little better! Im trying no to laugh at the guy!

Manager: Excuse me sir is there a problem.

I said: look sir I want to know how much hp is this car producing at the crank & how much at the wheel please be advised that u loose power going through all the accesories that are on the car ie: alternator, ac etc.

I said again: your guy over there said it does 120hp all around.

Mangaer: Well I see what you are asking young man but we don't know exactly what you are asking we only know the engine puts out 120hp!
While my wife is cracking up in the background !

I said look how can you be telling people they are getting 120hp at the wheel when in an auot they loose uptp 30% of that power.

I really enjoyed dicking around the dealers!

They tried to push a new lancer on my I just replied when they have balls my son I will be back!
