"Keep up with V-8 Mustangs no problem"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Other than the normal wear and tear like, timing belts, clutch, brakes, and one pulley that goes out about every 40000 miles. That's it!!!

General comments?

I love this car!!! I'm going to keep it for a couple of more years, but I want somthing with more room. If it was practical I would keep it forever.

You say keep up with the v8 mustang, VR4 eats them for lunch

with no problem. I've pushed mine to 157 on speed. Don't be

afraid of the power.

In regard to the first comment, I do not believe that the reviewer had a VR4. Your comment seems to be out of left field. Just an observation.

Ha ha, These cars can keep up because Mustangs are slow when they have a 4.6L V8 that puts out 260hp. Compare that to a 3000gt 3.0L DOHC 24v V6 that's rated at 222hp. Mitsubishi is simply more efficient and more reliable.

Most people judge a cars speed capabilities by looking at the horsepower. I don't own a VR4 nor have I ever ridden in one. But I do know that the VR4 engine puts out less horsepower than a V8 mustang. However, this means nothing because the Mustang weighs substantially more than the VR4. This, in turn, translates to more Horsepower per ton for the VR4 compared to the Mustang which makes for better acceleration and top speed as well as cornering. In short, (despite the marketing for the VR4) the VR4 is simply a better performance car...Oh, and I think it looks WAY better than any mustang made in the last 30 years.
