Default Mitsubishi 3000 GT / GTO.

Picture of a 3000 GT

The VR4 version featured four wheel steer, four wheel drive 3.0 V6 twin turbo. 320 hp, 315 lb/ft tragically weighed almost 1700kgs, but did a 5.5 0-60 and 14 sec 0-100.

I spotted one last night giving it some and it went / handled quite well. But i never really see them compared to Skylines and Supra's. Is there anything tragically wrong with them ?

BTW £3000 - £13000 for all on Autotrader.

They weigh more than Michelle McManus ater a chocolate eating binge.

Supposedly the second turbo is quite "weak", and lose power/fail - though I may be talking ****e. I recall this when a magazine compared them with RX7, 300zx and a Supra.

Supra is so much better and nicer.

imo.

they have good traction but the weight of them is a pain in the a*se for the handling!!

very good in straight line and quite comfy too a good GT car!

GTO's just don't do it for me. They are far too heavy, and I've heared the handling really isn't up to much. More of a GT car than an out and out sports car.

I'm not sold on the looks either, they look a bit American and dated. And no matter what size wheels people put on them, they never seem to fill the arches properly.

friend has one .... good car fast and handles ok.... he gets about 8-10 mpg out of his ... tiny boot ... cost him £500 for a water pump bearing... had to get mit dealers to do it no one else wanted to know... thats why they are cheap for what you get...and weak gear boxes ...

Also heard that the electrics aren't the best especially on the 4wd suspension system, quite prone to going wrong. I'd have a Supra.
