after reading this from the following blog:

Any Mitsubishi Product, but especially the Starion

The least reliable marque in LeMons racing is, without a doubt, Mitsubishi. Even British Leyland and Renault products can be considered robust next to Mitsubishi cars on a LeMons track, and that includes the Chrysler-badged DSM stuff. You name it, Eclipse/Talon, Colt/Mirage, 3000GT/Stealth—it will fall apart in our races like a house of cards blasted with a leaf blower. (Note: In a winning-the-lottery-grade stroke of crazy luck, a Mirage took the win on laps in a LeMons race a few years back.) With all that, however, the Starion/Conquest manages to take Butt Turribleness to a level beyond even the wretched Cordia; in seven years of LeMons racing and 10 or so Starions, only one has managed to run more than a few dozen laps in a race. In fact, we’re going to make it a definitive statement: The Mitsubishi Starion is the worst possible choice, in the entire universe, for a 24 Hours of LeMons car.
