6G Celicas Forums

Well Im purchasing my mothers 1994 Mitsu 3000GT manual, helluva ride even with out the two turbos. 3.0 DOHC 222hp can get out! Been driving it the past 2 days now, kinda left the celica hangin out in the driveway. Soo much quicker than my baby oh well I can eat a GSR now and hang with a GT Stang.

need the VR4...that's my dream car....but look what i got...although, i do like my car...i hope you like the 3kgt as much as i do in fact, i missed out on a black 94' by a week

i drove a stealth twin turbo all wheel drive for a week and i never wnated to give it back. a very fun and very very fast car.

The thing I love is it just climbs and climbs when you lay into it. The fastest car Ive ever personally drove. But the body style is no where near as sexy as the celicas.

a little too heavy for my taste... but nice car none-the-less.

My friends got a VR4, um...fast. Thats all i can say. Takes off like a rocket.

I had an oppurtunity to get one of those...but still haven't gone out to look at it. I think it's pretty low miles...the VR4 and it's only like 9 grand. It's some old lady...eh...are they really that fast? I will go check it out if people honestly think they are.

twin turbo, twin intercooled, AWD, AWS, and self adjusting rear and front wings

its definately a nice car and 320hp and similar tq sure gets it moving despite its weight.

i might be getting one when im done with my car.

THose are the new ones, the older ones are around 300hp and dont have those adjusting wings.

91 thorugh like 96 had the active aero. they stopped using it when they switch over to that big curved wing.

your right about the 300hp tho.

A 3000GT is no car to sneaze at. Congratulations.

I gotta check with what year my friends is but he def. doesnt have an adjust. wing...perhaps its an option?

maybe, but all the vr4's i see have it. i will look into it as well

edit

"Although three distinct 3000GT models are produced, the top-of-the-line model is the most often talked about. The Mitshubishi 3000GT VR4 is a very impressive car which features a twin turbo charged, twin intercooled engine. Standard features also includes all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering and Active Aero (the ability to adjust front air dam and rear wing positions depend upon speed). Available in earlier models was triple mode electronically controlled supension and dual mode active exhaust. Current 3000GT VR4's pump out 320 horsepower with 315 lb-ft of torque. Pre-1994 3000GT VR4's produce 300 horsepower with 307 lb-ft of torque"

I'm going to look at my friends wing, it just looks like a plain old lil wing, but i am not 100% sure.

Regardless, its a very fast car.

there is a pic of an active aero rear wing, just for reference.

I know what you mean. A 300hp 300zx TT has given the celica a week feel so now I got sell it before it loses to much value. But it is so comfy to drive specially long distances. No I don't want to mummy (flashbacks).

3000GT. Good to see you have moved up in the world.

I have a 93 3000GT N/A. Not too bad of a car, expensive to maintane. Make sure you have the 60k tuneups done or else you will be buying a new motor. Have fun with it... hope you dont have too many problems like some do also Check out www.3si.org for some good info.

i was researchin on a 3kgt and im about to get one witf 75000 for 6000. but i heard that the sl model has 220 hp at crank, however, the whp is only around 165. i saw dyno charts with this. IMO anything other than a vr4 isnt worth the maintenance the 3kgt requires. i aint bashing the car, is one of the cars i like the most. just givin my .2

The VR-4 is more costly in maintence than a N/A....If you want to spend big money on turbos and transmissions (mainly transmission problems) then buy a VR-4. I bought my N/A with 80k and i now have 94k. Only problem is that the thermostat went out. The 60k was done at the dealer and the person before me was charged 1200$!!! You can do it yourself for 350$. Its been a pretty darn good car though. Most people havent had that luck. The N/A is plenty quick enough for me. Just depends on what you want. Just be warned...They can be a money pit.... They just aint no toyota

Yup its adjustable, my mistake. Sorry
