Ruiner: a question

[1439/2000]

I was browsing 3si.org earlier and I was wondering. Do you still have this license plate frame?

lol it made me laugh a little bit when I saw the name in there.

[1439/2000]

People i'm not talking about the plate, I'm talking about the "Brandon" with the diamond stars on both sides frame.

[Xrated O.G.]

Well I know that there is or was a "Brandon Mitsubishi" Dealership in Brandon Florida. Maybe he got it from there....

[Scrappy]

ricky i am ashamed you even made a simple joke out of that. the car was well respected and also very well kept. therefore some people liked it. there are some hondas on the exotic site, but dont find humor in that please.

Scrappy no need to be ashamed, I don't usually see those cars on that site? I dont look there too often but you can probably count the Hondas/imports/fords etc on one hand..

[IndianStig]

No.

The FTO is a JDM FWD piece of garbage and a completely different car from a GTO/3000GT.

Silvia=240SX
Soarer=SC300
as does the GTO=3000GT

[IndianStig]

BINGO! :) That is EXACTLY where I got it from. Good catch!

My name is Brandon and well, when I found at that they had a dealership in Brandon, Florida, I headed over there while visiting my friend in Tampa.

[Ruiner]

what is that car doing on wrecked exotics LIRL

$47,600 MSRP

One of ~680 VR-4s made in '97, so it was very rare. There are "less" exotic cars on that site. I didn't put it there anyway. I got an email from the website owner and he asked me if he could use my pics. I said sure and the rest is history.

There are plenty of 3 and 5 series BMWs, many Mercedes, 300ZX's, Supras, etc on the site.

Yes, that is Marshal's '99 3000GT VR-4, not GTO. No GTO was sold in the US else you would see the right hand drive. :)

Mitsu couldn't use "GTO" in the states because of Pontiac's trademark. However, they did not have that trademark overseas. Now, my 3000GT VR-4 HAD a Japanese GTO ECU, so that is why I switched the letters...

[Ruiner]

No the 3000GT was a rebadged GTO.

Correct. They couldn't use GTO in the US (cause of Pontiac), so they took the name 3000GT... engine size = 3000 (3.0L) and GT = grand touring (tourismo) much like the GTO (gran turismo omologato) in Japan.

Same car, just different name for the most part.

As long as you don't sit and try to tell me that the 3000GT-Stealth was a Diamond Star Motors car, I will believe you. ;)

Obviously you didn't read my thread breaking it down in Mitsubishi. :D

I know better. My car isn't a DSM either. Made in Japan and imported in 91/92.

Yeah I used to live in Tampa and I used to work at that dealership. So since Im the only one who figured it out I should get like +1000 rep points right?
