    you know when i was looking for a car i told myself i wanted one that i wouldnt modify.... well i think i shot myself in the foot... these things just look so sweet with better rims/tires, and a ton of metal around it!

    The ironman edition doesn't differ from the rest of the others VX's.

    But the reason there's an ironman VX edition is because isuzu sponsored the famous triathlon back in the 90's that was named so.

    The logos on the hood insert,the recaro seats,the rear fenders & floor matts makes all the difference,but this edition was the most expensive of all VX's
    Dakar was just the begining.

    I second that! I have a K&N that makes a pretty harsh sucking sound, but with my custom exhaust it just sounds right.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.
