This ultra-clean Mitsubishi Starion is a street car, and has never been on a race track before. But it was so cool we couldn't help but see how it would hold up to a few laps, and its owner was an incredibly good sport. Aside from brakes not entirely up to track work, the 400+ horsepower 1JZ, chassis, and steering were shockingly competent, lap after lap.
