european version??? us version??? or just jap imports???
are all mitsubishi galant vr4s imported from japan??? or are there different eurpoean/uk/usa versions???
I know that with mitsubishi's gto (3000gt), the european/us version 3000gt vr4 is different and more powerful than the japanese gto and is considered the superior model.
The toyota supra mkIV TT has a japanese version RZ and again a more powerful (and some consider it the superior version) the european/usa version GZ.
I believe in both cases this is down to the "gentlemans agreement" in japan that sports cars should be limited to 276 bhp.
is this the case with the galant vr4? is there more than one version (japanese/european/uk/usa)? is there a version considered "superior"?
the other reason i wondered is for insurance purposes. imports are often automatically group 20 insurance. i appreciate even a uk version of a 280bhp car would be a high insurance group. but any savings would be nice!
