That is a fine haircut you have sir! I would say the 3000gt had 4 versions. 1. 91-93 with pop up headlights, testarossa inspired side skirts and front bumper, and a fake mid engine grill in the rear. 2. 94-96 projector headlamps, rounded body style, split front and side air scoops while still retaining the active Aero. 3. 97-98 a more aggressive front bumper with larger openings and a "tooth" splitting the radiator opening. "St. Louis Arch" wing and true black interior with larger padded leather door cards. ('98 got an updated climate control but no cosmetic changes) 4. The '99 had what you mentioned, a large fish mouth front bumper with bubble style headlights/turn signals, a fake ferrari like grill pattern on the rear taillight garnish, and its most defining feature, the combat wing.
The 3GT is the most beautiful vehicle ever made. The shape is one of a kind. It sits low and wide just ready to tear up the road. This is my favorite vehicle of all time and future. I luv my 1999 3000GT-SL
I have always liked these ever since my neighbor got one. He took out the v6 though and put in a 4g63 from an evo and tuned it to 475whp... it also made it handle much better as it much lighter.
always loved this car since I was a kid I bought a 91 3000GT SL a year and a half ago gave me problems but wouldn't trade it for the world thanks for the info now I know more about this amazing car
I just bought myself my very first car. A 1999 3000GT SOHC and I can't wait until I can pick it up at my cousins house next week lol. He went and snatched it up for me before anyone else could buy it. This video helped me learn a lot about my car also! Thanx!
You're forgetting that companies going out of business isn't because they arent making good cars, it's because they aren't making a product that's producing satisfying sales numbers. The used car market is different than the new car market. Mitsubishi has gotta build what sells, hence, the new Eclipse CUV.
they shouldve not let the evo be their top contender for their sports line, that was their biggest mistake. shouldve kept the eclipse and make it awd turbo especially with the 3.8 engines, or at least the 3k gt, they were too afraid it wouldve swept the evo under the rug.
Pontiac died because it was owned by GM, they neutered so that it wouldn't compete with Chevy, the Banshee would've ruined the Corvette and the fantastic Firebird was just known to be a reskinned Camaro, the rest of the cars were stupid and I'm not sure but probably rebadged.
Absolutely EXCELLENT video! Thank you for this, and I will be promptly sharing this with 3/S (3000gt/Stealth) community on social media! Again, great vid, and please! Keep em comin! I liked and subbed!
I remember seeing a VR4 Spyder inside the a shopping mall in San Antonio , TX and the car looked like a space ship. In 1999 I purchased a 91 Stealth R/T TT with blown turbos. These cars have a design flaw, the oil feed going to the turbos are tiny and the oil gets "cooked" and it turns solid and blocks the lubrication to the turbo center cartridges. Up to moderns times I am still impressed on the performance of these cars. Back in 2006 I purchased again another one, this time was the second gen(Phase 2) of the same car, it was a pearl white with fixed headlights lights, 6 speed and the 25 splint transmission(beefier). the car ran 13.6@103 in the 1/4 mile in Tucson and it put down and impressive 269 whp/299lb-tq to the wheel on a mustang dyno .
Thanks for the history. It's interesting to see more folk interested in this car as the years go by. I think it will be classic, but then I am biased. I have owned a 1999 stock, bright red - the only colour to have - Mk2 3000GT (TT UK spec) since 2005. I used it as my daily transport for years and it was super reliable. Nowadays it sits in the dry and gets used when the sun shines - which here in England is about once a week! It turns heads, from kids and grownups wherever you take it, always fires up first time and when it does it is impossible not to smile.
I like that particular year 3000GT. I agree with you, it'll be a classic, especially if you keep it nice and clean since there will be fewer good examples as time goes by.
It's nice to see some people still talking about these. I bought a new Stealth TT in 92 and owned it a few years before the evil ex made me sell it. Now years later and after divorce I have a 92 3000 GT vr4 with 73000 miles on it. Not as fast as modern muscle but still a very fun car to drive. What is not fun is keeping all that 90's hardware functioning. Not an easy car to work on!
I officially subscribed. I love history and cars lol. very informative. I love back stories. now I can geek out random facts to people who don't care lol
Thank You soo Much for Sharing. I had to know more about the 3000gt regarding history and Specifications. this answered all my questions. Thanks Again1
Jose Quintanilla did you not just watch this video?? Its only a rebadged 3000gt. I own one and legit every single part on my car says Mitsubishi except for the front badge.
I just bought one GTO SR here in Pakistan and everyone has these looks when they see it 😍 The only SR with just 38k miles on it and all in genuine condition 😎🏎️
Both sweet cars. The '96 Stealth was the best IMO. The two rarest overall are the 3K VR4 Spyder and '96 RT TT. The '96 Stealth RT TT had a smaller lighter Z15A chassis because no rear steer unlike previous years, best looking rear spoiler and rear diffuser, black interior vs dark grey, ghost badges from the factory, only built for the USA vs Canada and USA vs entire globe for 3K GT, and only 57 Stealth RT TT units built in '96 which was the last production year making it one of the rarest cars ever made. I love the manual in the Stealth, on the cover it says "Imported for Dodge" or how the car says Dodge/Chrysler/Ram Head on steering wheel/mitsubishi everywhere else..this four auto brand mutt combination will never happen again in car world. Cool. I spent years searching and now have both '95 3K VR4 Spyder (Red) and '96 Stealth RT TT (white). Rad cars!!
Great video, however, there are a few items that are inaccurate. All US-spec 3000GT VR-4s used the Z16A chassis. The only way you could get a Z15A chassis outside of Japan was on the 95-96 Stealth Turbo models. The only difference between the Z15A and the Z16A chassis is that the Z16A chassis accommodates All Wheel Steering(AWS), while the Z15A chassis does not. Additionally, looks like your model years are more inline with the Japanese spec GTO, rather than the US spec 3000GT. In the states, 1st generation cars were present between 91-93 model years(there is no 1990 3000GT, only GTO), 2nd generation cars were 94-98 and 3rd generation was 99 only. Finally, on 3000GTs, the SOHC engine was introduced in the 97 model year, while on the Stealth, it was available since the beginning.
Good to know! There was a lot of (mis?)information for the 3000GT. They seem to either conflict or confirm. It was fairly difficult to find factual information because there were many little features and this car is already discontinued. Thanks for the feedback!
Agreed! So much of the confusion comes from calendar year versus model year statements. The first model year for both brands in the US was 1991, but they were available for sale starting in 1990.
I just saw this video and I must say very well done. It is my favorite Japanese car . It does not get a good rep because of the weight but it can hang with the best of them.
There's an out of order looking 3000GT standing around in a driveway in my street. It has an amazing bronze color and sometimes I see the owner working on it. I hope he gets it running again.
I am really enjoying your content Mr. GT Content! I remember the 3000GT's and Dodge Stealth's. Got to drive a good copy of the Stealth. I was actually extremely impressed at the time but know now that the engine bay layout is just a bad design. These things would over heat at the drop of a hat. The cylinder bank facing the driver would always end up Fing up from over heating.
bad ass! only wish it was longer.....also pretty sure they made 2001 models but only very limited numbers n only relased in japan. Nissan & Mitsubishi will release a sport coupe in the future probably more eclipse type than 3kgtish..mabe even bring back the evo?
265308 I believe 2001 models were just 2000 leftovers. We'll have to wait and see if Mitsubishi will bring anything popular back at in the future. They've got bigger issues to deal with at the moment.
left overs? well that explains why so few, but my point is the misconception that the 3kgt's stopped production with the desirable 1999 models with the huge Combat wing spoilers. There are 2000 n 2001 models that were only released in Japan. As for problems.... no problem sir Mitsu's auto department is only a fraction of their multi-billionaire franchise(WHICH REMINDS CHRYSLER IS BIGGER IN AUTO BUT NOT BIGGER AS A COMPANY NOT EVEN CLOSE). N besides NISSAN before was in worse condition before their iconic president took over and IT sure BET he will do same to Mitsu. Think GTR and EVO creators working together!
They have finally into their own. There is a bit of a cult following for the vehicles here in New Zealand. Check out GTO Performance NZ on Fb. The TT models are going up in price
Hope these cars will live on some more years here in germany you get some for like 13 to 14k and I think thats not that expensive for how much car you get. 3000 GT is a legend
Bought mine new! Poor customer service, I will never buy another MIts. They replaced my new Transmission with a rebuilt when a few years old instead fixing the leaking seal. Chinese parts inside instead of Getrag on rebuilt.Thus my synchro problems. Finally got it fixed years later by a non-Mitsu shop. But I still have my 98 VR4. 38,000 miles and still excites me every time I drive it! looks like new and has seen no winters. Tein suspension, bigger turbos and a few other things. A classic for sure.
Never had a problem with it, great car and reliable. The only advice i can tell you is, dont buy a piece of crap only because it's cheaper than others. Spend the right amount of money, but get a well cared one.
Yea i think so! :) What year is it? 2nd gen? 1999? If so, be aware because the clutch and the trasmission were an issue in that particular year! Anyway, awesome looking car, fun to drive. Nice choice! You'll love it! :)
Donkeynero Not much of a history for that car as it is similar (or overshadowed) to the GTO/3000GT. I'll see what I can do. I've got some other ones in the backlog that's taking me more time than anticipated at the moment while also working full time.
Good video but few things could of been added. Also the last photo of the Stealth 2nd Gen was an ugly SOHC/DOHC Base. You should of showed them the R/T TT Last Gen as well.
Is this the history of the car in Japan? Or by production year? I remember the engine offerings being a little different than what you describe. Model years 1997-1999 base model 3000GT had SOHC. SL and VR-4 of those same years had the DOHC. ALL previous 3000GT models (base up through VR-4) prior to 1997 were DOHC. I know SOHC was offered in the Stealths of those years I just don't know what trim/years. Also, wouldn't the Mark 3 only be 1999? 1997 and 1998 had similar styling to 1994-1996 but with a slightly retooled front end and arch wing. There were also a few other minor items, if I remember right, like a manually removable glass sunroof on the SL trim 1994-1995 (and maybe earlier). That was changed to a power sliding (body colored metal) moonroof in 1996. I had a base 1994 in 2003 and then a white 1997 SL from 2004-2010. LOVED that car and had so much fun with it. Great video; more comprehensive than Donut Media's video. Thank you!
Hi l have owned my GTO for 14years and have realy had loads of fun with it.A great car,eye catching shape, everything a boy racer could hope for, not bad considering l am in my 73year.there is one or two problems with the car, the active spoiler don't work anymore, and the rev counter packed in recently.Can anyone help with advice on these issues?
Marked-2 was may favorite. Mark-1 was to endowed with technological gadgetry and the mark-3 was too ricer for my taste. This car still looks amazing. There's a driver in my neighborhood that has one with 19 inch Advan GT rims on 245/40 & 265/35 tires, with Brembo 4-piston front/rear BBK, dropped on Tein coilovers, painted Toyota pearl white, Recaro sits, with an upgraded turbo package. It gets the looks but no one knows what it is. I noticed that for your engine codes that you have the SOHC V6 listed the same as DOHC V6. Is that correct?
One question if some of you can answer: I'd like to buy one of the first series to use like almos " every day car" ;assuming that I can find it with 70-100 original miles, and of curse fix the visible problems, is that car suitable without getting poor and crazy in finding parts and fix it? I 've found some with very low km/millage,,,is the maintenace ", normal " mechanically eletronically and similar ? of course i m talkimng about stock car and not with modified engine....thanks a lot guy
I love this car I hate that Mitsubishi don't do TV Commercials in the USA. And then they wonder why they aint selling anything.... while you see a lot of mazda and others comercial all over even the stupid W cars gets more sales I wish Mitsubishi Wake up and one day soon put nice badass mitsubishi comercial in middle of super-bowl and stuffs like that
I really want a Mitsubishi 3000, the first one with the awesome headlights. But I am no mechanic...as a Physiotherapist I could afford one ...but would I be able to afford repairs ? Man I wish I had more money
Is the mitsu 3000gt twin turbo from 1998 all vr4 or they have rwd too ? I mean, is there any exterior diferense between 1998 3000gt tt rwd and 98 3000gt tt vr4 ?
If we (as car guys) buy more of their crossovers (which are pretty good btw) it might cause Mitsubishi to gain enough profits to develop something like this.
Hector: First, look look at the shifter. None of the VR-4s had an automatic, they were manual transmission ONLY. Second, look under the under the hood for twin turbos. While the VR-4s all had twin turbos, and the other models did not, turbos would be relatively easy to install on non-VR-4 models. However, no turbos means not a VR-4. Third, look underneath the chassis for All Wheel Drive (AWD). All VR-4 models had AWD, while non-VR-4 models did not. This would involve a different manual transmission (again, no automatics), and the addition of a transfer case, driveshaft and rear differential on a car that originally did not have these items. No AWD means not a VR-4. Fourth, look at the VIN. A VR-4 model would start with something like JA3**74, while a Stealth Twin Turbo (the Dodge version of the VR-4) would begin with JB3**74. The '74' is the key, as other models would have a different body code in the 6th and 7th position (44, 54, 64, 84). www.vincheckup.com/cars/mitsubishi/3000gt
thank you so much for making this video. the gto is one of my favorite Japanese cars! again thank you very much. looking forward to your next video.
You're welcome! It was a fun project. Hopefully the community and enthusiasts enjoy it also.
GT Content again I really appreciate the fact you made this video. I really enjoy your channel and I hope it can grow to your likings
Nick Royce Thanks! I hope so too!
That is a fine haircut you have sir! I would say the 3000gt had 4 versions. 1. 91-93 with pop up headlights, testarossa inspired side skirts and front bumper, and a fake mid engine grill in the rear. 2. 94-96 projector headlamps, rounded body style, split front and side air scoops while still retaining the active Aero. 3. 97-98 a more aggressive front bumper with larger openings and a "tooth" splitting the radiator opening. "St. Louis Arch" wing and true black interior with larger padded leather door cards. ('98 got an updated climate control but no cosmetic changes) 4. The '99 had what you mentioned, a large fish mouth front bumper with bubble style headlights/turn signals, a fake ferrari like grill pattern on the rear taillight garnish, and its most defining feature, the combat wing.
Thanks! Good to know!
The 3GT is the most beautiful vehicle ever made. The shape is one of a kind. It sits low and wide just ready to tear up the road. This is my favorite vehicle of all time and future. I luv my 1999 3000GT-SL
I miss my 93 vr4. Had tons of fun in this car. Turns lots of heads with the right exhaust installed.
What kinda exhaust?🤔
For me this is GT-R beater.
And beat GTRs it did xP
I have always liked these ever since my neighbor got one. He took out the v6 though and put in a 4g63 from an evo and tuned it to 475whp... it also made it handle much better as it much lighter.
Sounds like a neat project.
I like the 1997 variant with its fixed headlight design. It's simply gorgeous! My favorite Mitsubishi right here, even ahead of the Lancer Evo.
Likewise
always loved this car since I was a kid I bought a 91 3000GT SL a year and a half ago gave me problems but wouldn't trade it for the world thanks for the info now I know more about this amazing car
You're welcome!
Yea those boys break down quite a bit and you either know how to repair it yourself or you go deep into your wallet.But its a real beauty for a car
I just bought myself my very first car. A 1999 3000GT SOHC and I can't wait until I can pick it up at my cousins house next week lol. He went and snatched it up for me before anyone else could buy it. This video helped me learn a lot about my car also! Thanx!
+mikey sparks Nice! LMK how it goes.
Mitsubishi needs to stop playing around and bring those cars back before they go out of business just like Saab, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, AMC, and Saturn
You're forgetting that companies going out of business isn't because they arent making good cars, it's because they aren't making a product that's producing satisfying sales numbers. The used car market is different than the new car market. Mitsubishi has gotta build what sells, hence, the new Eclipse CUV.
no ones going to buy that dumb ass SUV
they shouldve not let the evo be their top contender for their sports line, that was their biggest mistake. shouldve kept the eclipse and make it awd turbo especially with the 3.8 engines, or at least the 3k gt, they were too afraid it wouldve swept the evo under the rug.
Pontiac died because it was owned by GM, they neutered so that it wouldn't compete with Chevy, the Banshee would've ruined the Corvette and the fantastic Firebird was just known to be a reskinned Camaro, the rest of the cars were stupid and I'm not sure but probably rebadged.
I know your comment was 2 years ago, but Mitsubishi just said that they are never going to make another sportscar, just suv’s now.
Very informative. Thank you so much!!!!
Absolutely EXCELLENT video! Thank you for this, and I will be promptly sharing this with 3/S (3000gt/Stealth) community on social media! Again, great vid, and please! Keep em comin! I liked and subbed!
Chase Ventrillaquist Reynolds You're welcome! Feel free to share! Thanks!
Thank you for the video. Now I have a '93 VR4 that has little problems to fix. This is my 'since childhood' favourite car
I remember seeing a VR4 Spyder inside the a shopping mall in San Antonio , TX and the car looked like a space ship. In 1999 I purchased a 91 Stealth R/T TT with blown turbos. These cars have a design flaw, the oil feed going to the turbos are tiny and the oil gets "cooked" and it turns solid and blocks the lubrication to the turbo center cartridges. Up to moderns times I am still impressed on the performance of these cars. Back in 2006 I purchased again another one, this time was the second gen(Phase 2) of the same car, it was a pearl white with fixed headlights lights, 6 speed and the 25 splint transmission(beefier). the car ran 13.6@103 in the 1/4 mile in Tucson and it put down and impressive 269 whp/299lb-tq to the wheel on a mustang dyno .
Thanks for the history. It's interesting to see more folk interested in this car as the years go by. I think it will be classic, but then I am biased. I have owned a 1999 stock, bright red - the only colour to have - Mk2 3000GT (TT UK spec) since 2005. I used it as my daily transport for years and it was super reliable. Nowadays it sits in the dry and gets used when the sun shines - which here in England is about once a week! It turns heads, from kids and grownups wherever you take it, always fires up first time and when it does it is impossible not to smile.
I like that particular year 3000GT. I agree with you, it'll be a classic, especially if you keep it nice and clean since there will be fewer good examples as time goes by.
OMG imagine a GTO based off a r35 platform! Great video!
Thanks!
Yes, it could be a possibility.
I love this car. Mitsubishi will live on my mind forever
Yea its a true beauty...
You have some brilliant videos man! GT Content is the best JDM content on youtube. That final edition 3000 GT VR4 is a beast.
Thanks!
It's nice to see some people still talking about these. I bought a new Stealth TT in 92 and owned it a few years before the evil ex made me sell it. Now years later and after divorce I have a 92 3000 GT vr4 with 73000 miles on it. Not as fast as modern muscle but still a very fun car to drive.

Great review. I currently own a 92 GTO VR4 and this video made me appreciate it even more. Thank you.
The spyder roof was fiberglass, not metal. Some generation discrepancies. But overall a great video. Thanks for sharing.
i got my self a 3000GT with 19500km on the clock and this video helped alot about the car's history. :)
manuja wijeratne Awesome! Glad it did!

Used to have a 92 VR-4. Sold it but sometimes I miss it! Great Vid and channel btw!!
That's a nice car.
Thanks!
TheMrarthas is it worth it? Why you sold it?
It was getting old and I was simply moving on. It was 100 percent worth it, and I may buy one again.

Both sweet cars. The '96 Stealth was the best IMO. The two rarest overall are the 3K VR4 Spyder and '96 RT TT. The '96 Stealth RT TT had a smaller lighter Z15A chassis because no rear steer unlike previous years, best looking rear spoiler and rear diffuser, black interior vs dark grey, ghost badges from the factory, only built for the USA vs Canada and USA vs entire globe for 3K GT, and only 57 Stealth RT TT units built in '96 which was the last production year making it one of the rarest cars ever made.

Cool. I spent years searching and now have both '95 3K VR4 Spyder (Red) and '96 Stealth RT TT (white). Rad cars!!

Dream car..
GTO Mk2 featured Jackie Chan Thunderbolt movie. I love this car.
The Stealth is badass
The 1999 model year is much more of a fighter jet. It almost makes me want to make it fly
Exactly 😍
What a beautiful car. It's sad that it was never a popular car in the JDM world?

darkraithebest94 right amount? i want to spend 5k€ is that ok?
Yea i think so! :) What year is it? 2nd gen? 1999? If so, be aware because the clutch and the trasmission were an issue in that particular year! Anyway, awesome looking car, fun to drive. Nice choice! You'll love it! :)
I have a 95 Stealth base and I love it
Nice video..!
Please do a video about the Eclipse/Talon. I owned 2 , the were so fun to drive and easy to tune
Yes, that one has been requested by others also and is in the backlog.
it would be nice to do a mitsubishi eclipse history.
You're not the only one. lol It's in my backlog.
that was amazing
Lamichael joe Thanks!

Next GTO from Mitsubishi will be a GTR killer!!!😈
🤣😂🤣

William Lin Nice!
Subbed for great content!!
PHATDAN420x Thanks!
THANKS BROTHER
Could you do a mitsubishi Sigma / Diamanten history?
Hi, can you make a Video about the FTO? would be very interesting!
Donkeynero Not much of a history for that car as it is similar (or overshadowed) to the GTO/3000GT. I'll see what I can do. I've got some other ones in the backlog that's taking me more time than anticipated at the moment while also working full time.
I always found this car to look very cool and always wanted one but all the ones I come across are all beat up
Didnt only in the 1991 models of the sl and r/t models of 3000gt/Stealth come with only single exhaust instead of duel exhaust??
Good video but few things could of been added. Also the last photo of the Stealth 2nd Gen was an ugly SOHC/DOHC Base. You should of showed them the R/T TT Last Gen as well.
always thought these were cool and remember seeing jackie chan in the origin car in cannonball run
I recently bought a 1993 dodge stealth r/t twin turbo.
Congrats!
Thanks!
I bought a 93 Dodge Stealth ES off my friend down the street last month .
Is this the history of the car in Japan? Or by production year? I remember the engine offerings being a little different than what you describe. Model years 1997-1999 base model 3000GT had SOHC. SL and VR-4 of those same years had the DOHC. ALL previous 3000GT models (base up through VR-4) prior to 1997 were DOHC. I know SOHC was offered in the Stealths of those years I just don't know what trim/years. Also, wouldn't the Mark 3 only be 1999? 1997 and 1998 had similar styling to 1994-1996 but with a slightly retooled front end and arch wing. There were also a few other minor items, if I remember right, like a manually removable glass sunroof on the SL trim 1994-1995 (and maybe earlier). That was changed to a power sliding (body colored metal) moonroof in 1996. I had a base 1994 in 2003 and then a white 1997 SL from 2004-2010. LOVED that car and had so much fun with it. Great video; more comprehensive than Donut Media's video. Thank you!
i saw dodge stealth R/T with 210kW/282 HP 4 speed automatic transmission, are there more types of these cars ? bcs you didnt show this one.
Hi l have owned my GTO for 14years and have realy had loads of fun with it.A great car,eye catching shape, everything a boy racer could hope for, not bad considering l am in my 73year.there is one or two problems with the car, the active spoiler don't work anymore, and the rev counter packed in recently.Can anyone help with advice on these issues?
Marked-2 was may favorite. Mark-1 was to endowed with technological gadgetry and the mark-3 was too ricer for my taste. This car still looks amazing. There's a driver in my neighborhood that has one with 19 inch Advan GT rims on 245/40 & 265/35 tires, with Brembo 4-piston front/rear BBK, dropped on Tein coilovers, painted Toyota pearl white, Recaro sits, with an upgraded turbo package. It gets the looks but no one knows what it is.
I noticed that for your engine codes that you have the SOHC V6 listed the same as DOHC V6. Is that correct?
ErwinSchrodinger64 Mark 3 is not ricer Dumbass. It looks way better then Mark 2 so get outta here with that shit.
jdmnsxr 6 Well that's just like, your opinion man.
Thomas Sorensen its facts bruh. the rear squared wing and the front lights and the whole shape of the car looks perfected.
Bullshit. The front end of the mark 3 looks like a giant whale shark with a gaping mouth eating plankton. ErwinSchrodinger64 is right.
thank you.
You're welcome!
One question if some of you can answer: I'd like to buy one of the first series to use like almos " every day car" ;assuming that I can find it with 70-100 original miles, and of curse fix the visible problems, is that car suitable without getting poor and crazy in finding parts and fix it? I 've found some with very low km/millage,,,is the maintenace ", normal " mechanically eletronically and similar ? of course i m talkimng about stock car and not with modified engine....thanks a lot guy
I love this car I hate that Mitsubishi don't do TV Commercials in the USA. And then they wonder why they aint selling anything.... while you see a lot of mazda and others comercial all over even the stupid W cars gets more sales I wish Mitsubishi Wake up and one day soon put nice badass mitsubishi comercial in middle of super-bowl and stuffs like that
+Elliot J Vidal Yeah, you can blame marketing.
The last version still looks very modern
+Mike B Yes, it's a classic.
Im waiting for a new 3000gt its my dream car ☝️🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷😎
It'd be nice, but I don't think it'll come anytime soon.

Thx u for the education
Mr. Vong You're welcome
I really want a Mitsubishi 3000, the first one with the awesome headlights. But I am no mechanic...as a Physiotherapist I could afford one ...but would I be able to afford repairs ? Man I wish I had more money
Is the mitsu 3000gt twin turbo from 1998 all vr4 or they have rwd too ? I mean, is there any exterior diferense between 1998 3000gt tt rwd and 98 3000gt tt vr4 ?
Cvetomir Kostov The turbo cars are all awd. N/a’s are all fwd.
Is there no turbo rwd's ? :O
The GTO's reputation is far less than its competitors.
So does the 3000gt count as usdm?
Is there a big power difference between the vr4 and other 3000gts that arent vr4?
3:40 in the video
Who created these??
If we (as car guys) buy more of their crossovers (which are pretty good btw) it might cause Mitsubishi to gain enough profits to develop something like this.
Fingers crossed
Mitshibishi GTO (3000GT)

Is there some way to check if one of these vehicles are truly VR-4 and not just fake?
Hector:
First, look look at the shifter. None of the VR-4s had an automatic, they were manual transmission ONLY.
Second, look under the under the hood for twin turbos. While the VR-4s all had twin turbos, and the other models did not, turbos would be relatively easy to install on non-VR-4 models. However, no turbos means not a VR-4.
Third, look underneath the chassis for All Wheel Drive (AWD). All VR-4 models had AWD, while non-VR-4 models did not. This would involve a different manual transmission (again, no automatics), and the addition of a transfer case, driveshaft and rear differential on a car that originally did not have these items. No AWD means not a VR-4.
Fourth, look at the VIN. A VR-4 model would start with something like JA3**74, while a Stealth Twin Turbo (the Dodge version of the VR-4) would begin with JB3**74. The '74' is the key, as other models would have a different body code in the 6th and 7th position (44, 54, 64, 84). www.vincheckup.com/cars/mitsubishi/3000gt
Rumor has it that Mitsubishi is releasing a 2018 Gto/3000gt with butterfly doors........
