    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.

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