After a three year build up, Phil made the trip over from Adelaide to Heathcote Raceway to debut his wicked sounding Mitsubishi Sigma for the first time last weekend. Powered by a standard stroke 346ci LS1 engnie, a Garrett GT42 turbo helped the car rocket to a best pass of 9.8 at 140mph for the day. www.facebook.com www.fullboost.com.au

True. I am well aware of the luxury car connection with their so-called lower brand counterparts. I was not trying to make a point about one vs another. Ultimately, my goal is get a vehicle with promise and stay within my budget.
How is “re-badged” Edge for an MKX any different than any other luxury brand. Acura’s are just “re-badged” Honda’s and Lexus’s are just “re-badged” Toyota’s. All luxury cars are basically “re-badged” from something else…
Yep, it was made on a Mac. I’ve since changed the production flow of our segments by running the audio track through Levelator before uploading to YouTube. All is good.
everyone is saying that the audio isnt quite right, but on my MacBook Air, it seems to sound just fine. Did you make it on a Mac? If so maby there is something wrong with converting it to a non-mac computer.
Ecoboost would be great. Maybe paired with hybrid? They just cannot take away A.W.D.!!!
I just saw a video from Motor Trend and they said the same thing about the MKX and the Edge. That’s why the MKX was knocked out in round one of their Best SUV of 2011 review. It’s a bit disconcerting to hear. I really like the MKX but if the components and features I like about it is also in the Edge it may be worth saving a few bucks. I’d have to test them both to make a final decision though.
why would it break down its built by ford they tend to last 15 years minimum so in 2026 you might need to look for a replacement
I had this car for the weekend and I always owned Japanese cars like Acura and toyota/Lexus. I was very impressed with the fuel economy (regular gas), power (mid range torque) and front room comfort. I also loved the sync stereo system. Found xenon projects to be inferior compared to Acura/Lexus however the lighting is still very good. Best of all the ride quality is solid and very comfortable.
However I found the volume and ac controls a bit hard to use. Also the speaker quality is subpar f
Or the LX being a rebadged Prado. Luckily the Yota version isn’t sold stateside. Sadly the Hilux Surf isn’t sold in Japan anymore.
Depends on how you look at it. The next time you see someone driving a Lexus GX, tell the it’s just a rebadged 4Runner!= )
Power lifted tail gates but can’t even provide hydraulic lifters for the engine hood PFFT!
Has it broke down yet?
I like the AWD torque split screen at 1:38
nice review, nice car.
I haven’t been in the most recent Edge, so I can’t make the call. Best bet would be to drive the two back-to-back.
lol I was thinking the same thing…
I have always liked this car but people always seem to knock on it saying “it’s just a re-badged Edge”. How do you feel the 2 compare Dan? Would you just save your money and get an Edge over this or is the extra cash worth it? Interior wise, option wise, and ride quality wise.
Are you making sure the audio stays around 12 db’s?
Workin’ on it … thanks!
nope, i did as well. this one does appear to be a much better car though
Please turn the volume up, it’s low most of the time
Not trying to sound creepy here, but I love your voice. It’s so soothing…
I hope am not the only one who perfered the previous generation full taillights
Many thanks, Josh … great stuff! I’ll order a copy of Audition and change the workflow to follow your suggestions. I’ve been exporting from Final Cut Express (in AppleTV format of late). Sounds and looks okay as a MOV on my iMac, but it gets stomped when its converted. The plan is to go HD at some point this year. If we land a YouTube NextUp spot, that’ll happen sooner, rather than later. Fingers crossed we make the grade …
what sort of boost do you run in this thing?
thats seck!
yeah philly. thats fucken dope . props from the victa lads
your wrong again you stinky wank cheese you dont piss of your like a blow fly…

haha as soon as i typed into google xa-xb falcon kerb weight? comes back with instantly kerb weight 1369kg and 1394kg…. theres ya answer and proof. dont beleive me look it up! the higgins ute i speak of weighs around 1500kg
Auto trans is always the answer.. Its simple physics… Trans brake = win
haha an early x series that weighs 1300kg?show me or somehow prove it?id be happily corrected if u get proof
both between 1300-1500kg
you would be suprised, there both purpose built drag cars id say the falcon would weigh 1300 and same with the ss ute
yeah how much heaviers this old girl than a ss ute?
Just needs some practice changing gears.
Auto trans isn’t always the best answer?
Big BIG BIG Turbo
the falcons a fully built n/a beast, the Ls1 is bolt on turbo only stock cam, and a glide good cheap setup. ive seen a n/a Ls1 run a quicker time than both these cars… higgin’s ss ute 9.05
notice the red falcon at the start kept up with him and was N/a
The RX-7 went 9.98 at 140mph the same day.
that RX7 at the end would pull a high 9′second pass with an Auto… That was quick!
watch it dump from that hektik turbo Ls1
i love pokemon
lmao chat car fuckin tuff Ls1
Really cool setup!
interesting! I know where an old corolla is…now where is that LS1 and GT42 hiding!
you think it might be the rotor running beside it you can hear?
thats awesome
makes it a bit cheaper esp for the guys with streetcars that will never really chase times but can still see what it will do
