if the supra didnt exist...

[foreverpsycotic]

i would be fixing the floorboards in my 73 vw super beetle, and putting a 1.9ltr aircooled motor in with a blow through turbo set up off of dual 40 idfs and mating it to a 5 speed oft of a 914

well on that note, i'm gonna havta remember who told me they were fwd, and slap 'em silly... prolly some kid at highschool :-/ (no longer have to see that place ever again)... but now i know... don't race a stealth rt from a stop :icon_bigg

Also a note: 3000GT's and Stealths are NOT DSMs. They were built in Japan.

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

so now, not only are stealth's not fwd (rt), but they were built in japan???

 

[Yellow 13]

A friend of mine has a Dodge Stealth. I remember his stock turbos saying Mitsubishi on them and was like WTF?

Huh? DSM=Diamond Star Motors logo of Mitsubishi.


If I really didn't have the Supra, I would probably be in a 5.0 again. But the 850 CSi is a close competitor. And the used NSX is more affordable now.

DSM = Diamond Star Motors, it was a joint venture between Mitsubishi (Diamond) and Chrysler (Star) in the 1990's, and they had a plant in the USA where they produced cars.

The 3000GT/Stealth was built at a Mitsubishi-only plant in Japan. It was not a DSM.

 

[Nick M]

Yes, the Eclipse was manufactured in Illinois.

I remember the old ads where Mitsubishi talked about their 3 star logo. I just don't remember the detail anymore. That is your job.

If the supra didnt exist?... i'd probably drive me a mk3 instead.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

which one had all wheel steering?

VR4 had 4 wheel steering. As well as the R/T Twin Turbo

 

[PROJECT N00b]

that is pretty cool...all wheels turn wow!, tight turning radius...

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Only above 45MPH.. And the wheels turn very little. Its just for better handling on the freeway. Its the best GT car out there if you ask me... It has almost everything the supra did in the 80's. The car really was just a showcase of technology.. Active aero, 4 wheel steering, Electronic suspension, twin turbos, tunable exhaust.. fancy stuff

 

[JENNY!]

64 nova, awd turbo audi wagon, cross country volvo wagon? yeaaaaah boy.

 

[thesandymancan]

i would love a vr4. i just missed my chance to buy a galant vr4 for a grand! i died a little inside.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

My cousin has a 1994 blue 64k mile 3000gt vr4 he will sell me some day... I may take it.
