    Two of the best cars to ever come out of Japan.

    Finding a clean stock looking midnight blue 300ZX on RUclips is difficult.

      Did they come in that color I assume because people don't belive 3000gts came midnight purple from factory only first gen the last generation came in pearl purple which is even rarer

    The 3000GT I absolutely love! the only flaw about this car, is that it has huge understeer due to it being front heavy (60% of its weight in the front) and a rather heavy awd system is what made this car not so popular in street and track racing. I owned an MR, and the understeer was crazy on the track the thing just dosen't turn in the corners at high speed without sledging into a barrier, often had to break verry early before the corner and you really feel it's weight imbalance, I just did not like it on the track. Otherwise it was a fantastic car to daily drive verry comfortable and quick, power when you need it and surprisingly economical

      Interesting observations... thanks for the info... I haven't tracked it so Im not familiar with its flaws... other than its weight

      @@pxzel The AWD system contributes to most of its weight, the engine placement is also imbalanced with that.. with your GTRs and such they have a more balanced weight ratio that's what really matters on the track. we did a lot of testing on the 3000gt stock

      Yep, they were terrible with their perpetual understeer when driven on track. Almost as bad as an Audi.

    What kind of exhaust on the Z32? Thanks.
    Btw, the VR-4 is the forgotten JDM supercar. Everybody worships either the Skyline/GT-R, EVO, or STI's when it comes to JDM AWD goodness, but sadly forget about the GTO aka 3000GT!

      Those who know these cars know what they're capable of even stock. I had a 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, ALL stock besides a K&N drop in, and ran consistent 13.3-13.4@103-104mph at the strip. Real JDM fans didn't forget the GTO; the GTO MR beat the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R over a mile stock to stock..

      @@goldstandardgrooms2156 If Mitsubishi took motorsports seriously, with its GTO, it could've achieved cult status like the R32-35. The Starion is another forgotten JDM legend. But sadly the USDM one used a truck motor (like the 240SX). A lot of people these days are pining for the 80s, early 90s JDM cars because they're part of the golden age of Japanese sports cars.

    had a 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, bone stock, and ran consistent 13.3-13.4@101-104mph.
    MotorWeek got 0-60 in 4.9s and the 1/4m in 13.5@103mph for a heavy 3,800lb 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, beating any time the Z ran on that show: ruclips.net/video/kBTwc8h-cnI/видео.html
    More impressively the J spec GTO MR beat the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R over a mile and ran 0~400m in 12.8 seconds showing that the 300ZX TT wasn't really in the same league anyways, its more handing focused:

    The 94+ 3000GT VR-4 is the faster car stock. The 1990-1993 VR-4s are a pure drivers race with a Z though the VR-4 usually is faster through the quarter and to 60mph (they can hit 4.9s stock with a really brutal launch).

      pretty sure the first gens have stock boost set lower than others too, iirc 9 as opposed to like 10-11 psi (though you can easily run them in the 14 range)
