1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 review from North America
"The poor man's 911 twin turbo!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
4 new transmissions, all replaced under warranty.
Rear differential replaced under warranty.
Stronger transmission parts are now available.
General comments?
This car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails.
Handles great in the rain and snow.
Killer looks, refined interior, awesome low end torque, little turbo lag.
One of the most well rounded sports cars ever made!
