Actually stock would be around 172whp(100,000+miles seen dyno sheets). The car can definatley be a pit. 170+whp is a far cry from a celica and DEFINATLEY worth the money. Whens the last time you pulled up to a GS-T and felt confindent... I never once would dream in a Celica GT. But toyotas are just as reliable as taxes. So with higher end cars come higher end wallets in most instances. I would probably kill myself with 320hp.lol. Anyway The celica will always be my first born and first love but its okay to have a mistress.

yea, they are pretty quick but its nothing like a vr4 despite what some people might say about mitsubishi 3000gt's and their reliability, they take a lot of abuse. my friend had a 91 sl and he got the car from a lady that beat the hell out of it and he proceded to beat what was left. yet it still ran. parts are pricey and its a pain in the ass to do anything on that car. i see them selling for $5k-$7k now for 91 vr4's. can u believe they were orinally as much as $50k from the dealer when new? -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

it's the same with the old 8 series BMW's. they sell for well under 20 grand now, and were originally 75-100k

Yeap...3000GT's are pretty cool cars. You will get so much attention with one. You should look into 93 and up year models, they have forged cranks. Spun bearings is a very common problem with non-forged cranks.

i had a choice of either a 95 3000gt or a 95 celica. both same price, same amount of miles. the 3000gt would have been alot faster with the 100hp extra over the celica, and besides the headlights, i think its a sharper looking car...but i made the wise choice...a celica is less expensive to maintain, and will probably last longer.
