a 1994 Mitsubishi 3000gt. N/A 5 speed.
![]() I gotta take more pictures, but for now that's it. I really love this car so far, even with it's issues. I have a new clutch to be put in this weekend, and maybe that will solve a lot of it. -------------------- ![]() 1994 Celica GT, coupe, 5 speed. Front strut brace, cherrybomb glasspack, intake. |

Comparing the speed of two slow cars is pointless. Just because it's faster than a slow car doesn't mean its fast, in fact it's not even the same platform...that's like comparing a celica and an N/A supra. All I was saying is that I personally would not build a 3000gt when there is a VR4 model existent. I mean, I just don't see a point, even if you TT swap it, its still FWD...That means all the money you put in it trying to get it as good as a VR4 is stock won't even achieve that goal. I guess its a similar reason I wouldn't get an Impreza when I could get a WRX or STI, same reason I wouldn't build a Lancer when there's an Evo, same reason I wouldn't build a Neon when theres an Srt4, etc. Because if you get a car to build, you might as well not start with the base model. Besides I know the aftermarket support isn't outrageous but GT4's have what we need, what are we missing out on? Altezza tail lights? Super ultra JDM Spoilers? Ski racks? Metal floorboards?
Like you said, I like the styling of the car. And although I have my negative comments about DSM's due to personal experience, I won't be the guy to shy you away from having to repair a few things and take on a project as I love doing that myself. And I'm not hating on the car's potential, I'm just saying I wouldn't call that a fast car by any means and instead of trying to build that up, I would just save, sell that and buy a VR4 if I loved it enough. -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1
