@boardskins The Daytona wasn't crap, but were in the same class really? The Starion was set to go against the other Japanese coupes.
The Starion numbers posted are the lowest I can find. One site has the ES (non-intercooled) at 7.5. Even then the rags and car builders at the time were fat lairs most times. But those numbers don't tell the whole story anyway. The 2.6 is a very capable engine in a good platform. The Starion was the first import to run 7s.

@boardskins The whole reason DSMs came about is to sell most Mitsubishi designed car in the states. Honda nad Toyota had the cash to build US factories. Mitsubishi did not so they teamed up with their long time partner, Chrysler, to make it happen.
I'm a Daytona fan, as well as an owner of a Conquest. I will say though I prefer the Conquest.

@boardskins I know this is an old post, but some things need corrected. Daytonas outsold Starquests, but there are 2 reasons for this. One is simply is that Starquest cost more. They were an expensive car.
Second Mitsubishi was close to the limits of how many cars it could import. Because of that they tried to import cars they'd make a high profit margin on (meaning the top line models). Several lower end versions of the Starion never made it to our shores.

Mine current 2.5 t Shadow has 138k miles on the original head gasket. I have owned many dodge 2.2/2.5 and the only time a HG went was after the motor had overheated.
The HG's in my venture have gone, the ones in my wifes Civic have gone,. Sh6t happens you know.

Whatever man. My old man has been a chrysler tech sincethe early 70's. He's 5star Chrysler decorated, awarded, and certified one of the top chrysler mechanicis in the north east. I'll take his word over yours. The daytona was a peice of crap huh? seems many have well over 150,000 on them running strong and none of the Conquests made it past 100,000 with their factory engine.
