1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 review from North America
"A high horsepower sports car at a bargain price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My front windshield defrost vents are cracked, super strong glue fixed them.
The front seats are very worn, typical for these vehicles. They soon will be replaced with upgraded seats.
Valve stem seals were replaced at 175,000 Miles, plus a tune up. Cost was 1,200.00.
I had major rotor warping do to previous owner. They were replaced for a good price of 150.00. No problem since.
My turbos seem to be getting weaker, but still perform well. They are capable of pushing 14 pounds of boost according to my aftermarket boost gauge. Upgraded turbos are on their way soon.
My tranny is very notchy going into second gear, but shifts well otherwise.
General comments?
This car is an amazing work of art and is getting more rare and valuable as time goes on.
This 14 year old car is still one of the best looking cars on the road today. It gets tons of attention everywhere I go.
The performance is amazing even when stock. But with simple bolt-ons this car is capable of over 400 horsepower!
I have owned a lot of cars, including the 300zx Twin-Turbo, and my 3000gt VR-4 is the only one I have kept for over a year.
I am in love with this car and plan on keeping it forever.
