Because of a poorly engineered MAF sensor, any throaty, V8 Mustang that rev's on an Evo at a red light will cause it to stall. If you know anyone with an Evo, have them start the car and pop the hood. Shake the airbox and you'll stall the engine. Oh the wonders of Mitsubishi engineering.

The DSM plant was good for Mitsubishi. Not only did it produce a popular car, it was done here in the US keeping importing and distribution costs low.
