Why does your clickbait thumbnail show "450 HP" with a picture of the Galant when literally not a single car in this video has 450 HP?

I had a G6 GXP for 5 years, starting back in its hay day. Loved the car even though it was obviously a bit of an econobox. Slight correction, it came with a 3.6 V6. Only the GTP’s that came with the 3.9 V6.

Exactly and you could get them in manual but you could only get the six speed manual in the GTP trims, and I'm pretty sure only for the 2006 model year I think after that they went to a six-speed automatic instead of the four speed automatic

the 3.6 was a nasty motor at the time and that version was much more solid than later versions. My dad used to have one and it was a ton of fun, only thing I didn't like was the torque steer sometimes it felt like it wanted to kill whoever was driving lol

The last Buick shown was actually an Opel, which GM sold to Peugeot, who then made them for GM & it's various parent companies to be sold under their own brand names. It was marketed in Australia as a Holden Commodore. Didn't do well, compared to the Australian made rear wheel drive Commodores, most of which were V6s, but some were available with 6 & 6.2 litre Chevrolet V8s, with some being supercharged like in the Holden Special Vehicles GTS models. A turbocharged 3.6 litre V6 producing 282lb/ft (381Nm) of torque? I would certainly hope for more grunt than that from a turbo. Especially one with variable valve timing.

When i think of mitsubishi i think of the 80s Galant VR-4. If it wasnt for the Galant VR-4 and it being the original platform for the 4G-63 we might not even have the Lancer/Evo models. My very first car was a 1989 Dodge 2000GTX ( aka the Mitsubishi Galant) with a 5-speed manual, unfortunately it didnt have 4G-63 in the "Dodge" model if i recall correctly. But it was a solid little car none the less.

When I was 15 in '95, 2 months before I turned 16, my father and mother took me down to the local Ford dealership to get me my first car to practice driving in. His original intent was to get me a new Explorer Limited. When we got back home from the dealership, I pulled into the garage spot that was designated for my car, parked it, and exited from my new Taurus SHO. LOL It was literally taken out of the showroom off the showroom floor for me. It was awesome! It was emerald green w/tan leather throughout, and power everything. Great throaty girggle from the Yokohama engine. A few months later, my cousin borrowed it and f'ed it up to the tune of $15,000 to repair. I ended up trading it in for a new diamond white Seville STS. A few months later I traded in for a '96 Lexus LX450 and graduated from high school driving the LX450 (it was cashmere beige metallic). Over the months after, I had A LOT of new rides. A Volvo S90. A 5.0 V8 Mountaineer. A 40th Anniversary Edt Land Cruiser. By '98 I was almost sure I was going to get either the new Mercedes-Benz ML320, or the Acura SLX Premium. Ended-up finding out from the dealerships that both had a tip over tendency in emergency maneuvers. I ended up then getting a new Lexus LX470 in black (only the 2nd of that vehicle sold and shipped to Florida at that time), and a '99 black Saab 9-5 Aero. Now that I'm older, I've been into Volvo and Audi predominately. Absolutely NOBODY does interiors like Audi! My all-time love is the '88-'92 Lincoln Mark VII LSC. So beautiful 😍! I'm still in the market to own one, and also another '97 Land Cruiser 40th Anniversary Edt., SLX Premium. I can be persuaded also a '90's Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon.

So first off. I love the newer (2010) Buick Regal GS. I'd love to get one in stick. I never knew they existed in still until I watched the Shooting Cars video where Zach reviewed one. I also agree with you on the design of the older Mitsubishi Galant. However I never knew there was a Ralliart version. It actually looks kinda badass however I take your side on that the previous generation looks much better. But I think the only Galant I'd ever own is a Mitsubishi Galant VR4 from the 90s.

Every first gen Ecoboost 3.5 V6 in FWD were plauged with problems. Water pump replacement required taking off the timing chain a 10-12 hour job and the transfer cases for the rear wheels were difficult to do fuild services. They were placed right above the catalytic converters causing the fluid inside to get cooked. These cars were not designed to be serviced past 100k when the water pump and transfer case usually go out.

Check out the first gen (G50 series) Infiniti Q45. That's a sleeper nobody knows about. The specs are insane for the time period, and still today.

So many people call these 'sleeper' and that is not what any factory performace car is. A ''sleeper' would be a base model with the right boxes ticked. The second you line up and they see your badges or wheels that you get exclusive with these performace packages the jig is up. Best definition of a modern sleeper would be a tesla swap or a hellcat jailbroke 300 might be right there, etc.

1st Gen ford fusions had a manual option, tho it was rare. I was lucky enough to get one😁. I learned manual on it. Drove it for over a year had a bad clutch problem I didn’t like how unreliable it was. But it does have a special place in my heart being the first car I drive stick on

My bone stock 2002 maxima se had a close ratio 6 speed manual Trans and it would dust the crap out of 350z and g35 with ease. The 350z and g35 had a bit more top speed though.
