Next car I'm fixing on buying is a Mitsubishi GTO VR-4.
Tell me why this is a terrible idea.
good thing you already have "fixing" in your vocabulary
expensive spare parts
expensive to fix
gonna need a fair amount of fixing.
if you've got the money and know what you're doing it could be a great weekend car.

don't they require a ton of maintenance to keep running? Conveniently, parts are also expensive as shit. It's a neat car if you have the time and money to work on it.

Nissan made a better version of this and it's still shit

320 horsepower, 3800lbs curb weight
A bunch of weird hard to find parts
no thanks
>>17289265
Excellent idea op, I would suggest also considering 80s porches and RX8s. Fantastic cars with little to no problems
>>17289265
Those are some of the best wheels I've ever seen, someone sauce me.
>>17289265
bet you can't find one for sale
>>17289317
>320 horsepower, 3800lbs curb weight
that's it? with twin turbos?
fuck that
>>17289265
I think it's a cool car, however >>17289287 is right.
It's a GT without the big long hood, so everything is crammed in there really tight so it's a pain to work on. It also overheats.
I looked at both one of these and a Z32 some years ago and decided neither of them were worth the heartache.

>that's it? with twin turbos?
That would not even make it a fast car, too heavy for the horsepower
>>17289348
Stupid fucking wet mouth little nigga that was respectable power back in the day you little rat. >>17289328

>>17289287

In 1999? I think not, an LS1 camaro from the same year had the same horsepower and weighed 500lbs less
and that's just a camaro
Fuck there's a guy on autotrader who has one for sale for $38,000
why would anyone pay so much for so little performance
>>17289384
what is tuning.
>>17289398
More money.
>>17289398
What is not an actual reason, you fucking retard faggot dipshit moron ignoramus.
>>17289398
>what is tuning.
>have some weird proprietary AWD system that also turns the rear wheels to steer
>has not been made for 20 years and was only made in small numbers back then
>let's really turn the boost up on this fucker and see if we can break some shit by exceeding the design horsepower for the drivetrain
brilliant

i'll admit, 38k is a fucking ridiculous price. for that much I could get a supra or a gtr which weighs 400+ pounds less and makes about the same power but is both more reliable and a better car.
>>17289454
For 38k you could get a nice Z06, do some light modding and have 500whp in a 3300lb car
>>17289361
They are both:
>halo cars of their respective companies
>similarly priced gt cars
>tt v6
>same power and torque
>similar weight
>rear wheel steer
It seems the only real difference is the engine layout and awd
