These cars werent meant to be the ultimate pure distilled sports car: 3000GTs were Mitsubishis ultimate expression of high-tech GT class cruisers. They were even called GTO in Japan to celebrate the true calling of the cars. The VR4 package added technology, power and control everywhere-twin intercooled turbos, all wheel drive, all wheel steering, spoilers that moved up and down with speed, an electrically adjustable suspension, four piston calipers all around-you name it, the VR4 had it. Fully laden these cars ran over 3700 lbs, assuring the ride quality to be second-to-none. Under the hood youll find everything stock save for a new battery and fresher fluids. The motor hums as youd expect and pulls with ferocity to redline. The transmission is smooth and the clutch holds everything together.
New tires insure that the ride is smooth and vibration free. Youll find the ride supple in touring mode and aggressive in sport-yes, you
