Mitsubishi 3000gt...

Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4: The Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4 is the top of the line model of the Mitsubishi 3000 GT range, having very impressive specs. It gains exclusivity among its siblings by its 3-liter twin turbocharged 24 valve V6 engine equipped with twin intercoolers and dual overhead camshafts, which delivers blistering performance, belting out three hundred and twenty-horse power. The Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4 is equipped with a four-wheel drive to handle the tremendous torque of 315 ftlbs at 2500 rpm, through the manual 6-speed German designed ‘Getrag’ gearbox. For better braking stability, the front wheels are carried on MacPherson struts, while the rear wheels have double wishbone suspension. The innovative 4-wheel steering arrangement adjusts alignment, or toe, up to one and a half degrees by turning the rear wheels in the direction taken by the front wheels. This arrangement cuts in only when traveling on or over thirty-one miles per hour. Vented disc brakes on all four wheels along with anti-lock braking system are standard features.

Parts for the Mitsubishi 3000 GT: The Mitsubishi 3000 GT remained in the US market from 1991 through to 1999. During the entire 9 years, there were no changes to the car, apart from some cosmetic refinement.

Earlier, obtaining parts for the pre 1994 ‘Getrag’ gearboxes used in the Mitsubishi 3000 GT was quite difficult. Both the 5 and 6-speed units had aluminum housings, which were not strong and used to shatter or crack. Replacement parts were not available. Only complete remanufactured units were available, which were very costly. This position has now changed with enthusiasts managing to secure a parts distribution channel from the remanufacturer.
