Why did mitsubishi decide to make my car sooo underpowered
 

After a while it feels like the car just becomes so slow in acceleration. Drove my friend today and thought my car would at least be somewhat fast but lol the car just feels real slow. I mean flooring the gas to hit redline, you can't even tell your flooring it lol, it just sounds cool that the engine can rev that high. Wow do i miss my dads M5

well what do you expect, you have an rs. its a 2.0 L non turbo engine with barely enough HP to make it move. if you wanted performance, you shoulda bought a gst/gsx

Yea, i knw, its slow but still a cool looking car, even though its 2x slower than the van and prolly 10x slower than the m5 lol.

Well, they did have the GSX...

they made it slow because:

slow = good gas mileage + Reliability

And for people that didnt care about either one of those things they had the GST and the GSX lol
