1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT Reviews, Pricing & Specs

20 year old import classic. Helped set a standard for the turbo imports of the 90's. Overall a rare car but seen as most being too heavy, and not reliable but when maintained correctly, can treat the owner well in the long run, especially the 2nd gens (94+). Even in stock trim the car gets up and goes, and is a blast to drive. The transmission is very durable. Parts are pretty expensive but you get a good discount when you tell the dealer you're on the 3si forum, which is also a very helpful site. Mine personally has needed a few repairs being that I got it with 147k on it and it hadn't been taken too well care of. Didn't make any funky sounds or anything, just needed a new clutch and tires which it did receive. As far as appearance I like the streamlined styling, and the way the car sits, albeit the huge wheel gap. The interior is driver friendly and feels comfortable, unless you're a giant. As it sits now, it needs a new bottom end, because of a spun rod bearing. Which can be avoided easily by keeping up with the oil and making sure you dont dent the pan. Overall its a fun car to drive, even when I had 3 bad boost leaks. Once its up and running again, it will have new and improved turbos among lots of other mods I dumped into it during its downtime.Jan 24, 2012

amazing Car, great for handling and cornering, the interior is nice, all black leather, the back seats wont support a family of four but it adds a sleek look to the car. The best thing about this car is that it looks aggressive, but i want to get the 94 body conversion on the front end to get rid of the pop up lights but. its got great power, 300+ hp. Mileage is pretty terrible with the vr4 but it worth the money i think if your looking for a good time. the only downside to this car is that its heavy, reducing overall performance. also if your looking to do any intense engine work beware, the engine bay is absolutely packed. overall its a monster car, ready to eat its rivals but it will put a hole in your pocket in gas.Apr 26, 2011

This car is a Headturner on the streets, and great on the open road and motorways. Performance- 3.0 NA automatic witch is faster than you would expect it to be. Its 4ws and 4wd drivetrain makes it a bit twitchy in the corners of a sudden but you get used to it. I have installed nitrous injection aswell and standard airbox. I have also put Prelli corsa nero and 19'' rims Build Quality- I took almost everything out and ''modded'' it. But before i did nothing was wrong with the interior or the panels. appearence- proper Headturner cost- i have spent 30k on this car and bought the car itself for £5000. It also drinks petrol like water fun factor- its great fun to drive and the speakers and tv will keep you well entertained. Aug 24, 2010

The looks of this car are second to none when this car came out there was not a car on the road that could touch it and still today most cant believe its a Mitsubishi! Performance? well the SL has a 3.0L DOHC V6 with the 5 speed man trans you get around 225 HP and 225tqs and even though this is a heavy car and the vr4 with its all wheel drive and 4 wheel steering twin turbocharged twin inter cooled motor is heaver still it is much faster. there is far much more to go wrong in that setup for a daily driver and with the optional ecs or electronic controlled suspension twisty roads are no match for you as are most cars today hyundai honda toyota most of them will get smashed in this with a good driver.Aug 17, 2010

Let me start off by saying that this car is my dream car. It was the first car that I fallen in love with, and I finally got my hands on one. So, let's get crackin'! **Performance: This is where the car shines like a royal jewel. The AWD system in the car accompanies the 3.0l Twin Turbo V6 like none other. The acceleration churned out by that beast is more than adequate. The brakes are large and offer a short stopping distance, considering the weight of the car. All Wheel Steering allows the car to hook around corners at high speed, putting the handling above the rest of the competition, bar none. **Build Quality: This is a Japanese Car, so the build quality is going to be generally superb. I've had the car for about 7 months now, and the only things that I've had to replace were shotty repair jobs that the previous owner had done at a shady mechanic. I have had nothing but great experiences in the car once I got the initial issues sorted out. **Appearance: This car is flat-out stunning to look at. The wide and low-slung body is very aggressive, and offers that "sportscar" look. The interior is made of black leather, which is all well, but it's just so damn hot when you get in on a hot day. The accessory gauges and digital HVAC are a great touch as well. **Cost of Ownership: This is where things begin to go south. Owning this car can get a bit pricey. If something breaks (IE the All Wheel Steering), you're going to have to pay an arm and a leg to get that sort of thing fixed with the parts from the dealer. If you're in the Southern California area, though, there's a shop called FSR Motorsports (http://www.fsrmotorsports.com) that will take care of your car as if it were their own. **Fun Factor: This car rocks, hands down. There's nothing quite like that kick you get from the twin turbo V6 combined with AWD. And then there's that roar from the V6 that you don't get from a 4 banger. You can even wave at people behind you with your ADJUSTABLE spoiler! There's just so much about this car that I am passionate about. This car is just simply superb, and I won't ever look back and regret purchasing it.Aug 12, 2010

This car is very quick, and looks like a classy sports car. It has 300 hp at the crank stock, 5 speed manual, awd, all wheel steer after 30mph, electronic control suspension, active aerodynamics and feels very stable. Be wary if you're looking to buy one though, because many people will beat on these cars til no tomorrow. Biggest things to look for are any leaks whatsoever, and oil pressure. If you aren't mindful of these, it could cost you big bucks with an engine rebuild. Overall this car is super fun to drive!!!!Mar 22, 2010

in stock trim the car is fairly quick but nothing special. it is easy to turn the vr4 into an amazing daily driver though. the OEM build quality is extremely good but the car is old so a lot of restoration is needed to own one. Brakes, turbos, ECU, clutch, window regulators and many gaskets and seals will likely need to be replaced. to own one of these cars you MUST have either very deep pockets, or at least some basic mechanical knowledge and tools to fix many minor issues. overall i believe the car is a great bang for the buck sports car.Feb 24, 2010

really great performance on the dry, wet and even in light snow (with winter tires of course), thanks to the awd. Acceleration is fast due to the V6 3 liter twin turbo twin cam twin intercooler 24V engine that develops 320 hp and the same amount of torque. The engine's sound is amazing and almost exotic. Braking is good, thanks to 4 pistons ventilated brakes at the front and 2 pistons at the rear. The all weel steering system (aws) and the active aero system makes it easy to take corners at high speed without loosing control. Handling is exceptional too. The build quality is good, in the average of other Mitsubishi products. The styling is as great inside and outside, the car looks almost exotic ! Being a GT car, the maintenance is not cheap due to the price of the parts and the complex mecanic and system, but it's still less expansive than a lot of other GT cars as Porsche for example. The gear ratio are pretty long so you can have a pretty gas mileage is your right foot isn't too heavy and you shift at low rpm. For example, you can go at 65mph in 5th gear and the engine rpm is only at 2k. You can go over 90mph at 3k rpm ! Other cars hit 90mph in top gear at 4k or 5k rpm ! In fact the ccar is reaaly fun to drive, the comfort is really correct for a sport car, but the rear places are a joke... as the volume of the rear trunk. But still in the average for a sport car. To conclude, if you see one in great condition, never wrecked or beaten, and if you have a good amount of money to keep it clean, jump on the occasion !!! :P Jul 11, 2009

Love it!! Base power was decent for the car , but I since then have added a twin turbo system to it, The handling is awesome on this car and stable, due to the active sport suspension it hugs the road very nice. The body style is gorgeuos enough on its own so no exterior mods are necessary, maybe thats why it was left pretty much unchanged throughout most of its production years, its slick, sexy, and fits the sport car image that can match even the best of them. Even with the turbo conversion I still manage at least 25 miles to the gallon and maintainance has been very cheap too. I would definately recomend buying one and you won't be disappointed , very fun , fast, and affordable to buy and maintain.Mar 03, 2009
