Not So Common... Highly Modified Mitsubishi 3000GT

[Glides]

Negative. i hate when ppl say because they were so heavy. what 150 pounds from the r34 and supra. same 1/4 mile as a stock supra and about the same for the 300zx. same mechanical problems and maintanace.

take a look

the 3kgt is a bad ass car and can surpass the supra, 300zx and rx-7 with ease

Heh I used to write service for Mitsubishi....I know what those cars are capable of doing to your wallet and to the Fire Department.

lol it seems that there is always someone who will try to justify a car no matter how much of a parts disposal it is lol

So....why hasn't it? If you are talking about that era, you need to have the R33 weight as comparison, not the R34 you put in there.

For the us 90's japan super cars it lasted the longest, ending in 99. And it caught the mistsubishi break down flack. Like I said, the weight doesn't matter with those cars. 12.8 in the 1/4 mile is really nice.

It has just been over looked. I blame those "racing" movies

It isn't the Supra's fault it didn't sell well in America to the point of the Japanese updating the emissions hardware 1998-2001.

And if we are talking the American versions, that's like saying it did decent in the Special Olympics. No Evo competition, no Silvia, no Skyline, no Aristo, no Soarer, no Altezza, the list goes on and on.

I do, however, appreciate your calm response. Reps to you.

[ShooterMcGavin]

not quite sure how i feel about it. def unique though.

[Glides]

Lose the gay ass stickers and number plates on the doors, the faux carbon wheel and I would rock it al day long. Not a bad looking car, always liked them....until they have to be worked on.

[VooDooXII]

A little too much for me, but I've always had a thing for these cars.

[all_american_gurl09]

really nice

[takume]

i like it.

[Catnip]

I like the crooked mounted FMIC.

[eraser4g63]

Its still over weight

[okra1981]

Wikipedia says 3800lbs., that just seems like way too much for ~300hp, AWD will only help you make up so much. Some cars are worth the hassle, ask any RX-7 guy, others have a good place in history.

Hey, Owning an RX-7 is like having a Handy capped Cat sure your gonna put a lot of money into it and sure its gonna always be broken in one sense or another but you grow attached. On that note I had the first problem with mine in almost a 1.5 years.

[JITB]

i remember when everyone used to call 240's junk..lol

[2turbo4u]

I like it, wheels look great on it.

[greasemunkey]

I like it. Its about time I saw one that was decked out. looks like a track car to me. stealths can look amazing as well.

[Logan]

I love it.

Always had a soft car for these.

This chassis was just too fat and ahead of it's time...

[Maki]

nice find,,,,, + reps

[FasTech]

Eh, I like it and all but the color sucks. Wheels fit perfect with the body styling though.

[Dville nismo]

I don't really care for the body, but i still like it.

[imbatman]

lol at the posts

looks ayt

[Bus Driver J]

Yeah, TopSpeed tuned one in the low-mid 500's with the stock bottom end. They CAN make power its just that they are prone to issues and are weight challenged.

I personally am not a fan of the car but that one looks alright. I wouldnt stop and take pics of it at a show though.....

[blueteg vr08]

looks good

[IMPORTchic]

It looks good...until it has to go in the shop 5mins later! lol

[PURP]

I miss my Stealth with the vr4 swap now... sigh...

[thinkskater]

lol styling is something else obviously but i have a sore spot for fast mitsu's

[NovaScotia]

shits weak on the one pictured. too much going on. and as for them being bad cars i disagree. any car has its slew of problems, this one for instance having rubber and plastic IC pipes. gimmicky but pioneering things like active aero and AWS notwithstanding. its a matter of what one driver is willing to put up with compared to the next guy. weight wise early vr4's came in around 3200lbs, it was the later verts that were heavy. guys that keep them stock traditionally have low mileage vehicles and maintain them religiously. they just drive them and have few major issues. the shitboxes are high miles, abused, not maintained, and have ignorant drivers in many cases. the third side being the cars that are bought to be built. condition doesn't come into play as much mechanically seeing as its all getting replaced.... hopefully.

you know, i had more to say but ive lost interest. moral is guys that build them love it. people that hate them have never owned one or felt put out when their 180k car shit its rear main bla bla bla. in the end im the asshole typing a response to someone being wrong on the internet.

Who changes your spark plugs? lol

[YoshiFD3S]

It's definitely been show and drift specced out, if you will.

I like it though.

And I haven't seen a decent 3000GT, let alone a VR-4 in FOREVER....so hoo-yah to that.

:]

[lokciv02]

Looks good...

[Drummerboy]

Tyler- ever think of swapping the VR4 into an s13?

[Arm&hammer]

I like the rims.
that's it.
