My newly purchased second car...
I got plans for it. I made a deal with the lady to design her company website and her friends. So I paid 2 g's for it and its got 87k miles on it. New timing, and ECU (that scared me at first)But wow do these things got some pickup. I'm going for the all black look. Tint, wheels, spoiler/wing, the whole nine yards. Should be fun. Anybody know any "b*itches/complaints"?

weak brakes (see above)
insurance costs
Other than that, they are good cars. Is it the VR4 model or ????

I heard about the brakes. No biggee, I'll deal. The insurance is only $110/month. Its only liability. The car is an ES model. Its the same engine as the RT (3.0 DOHC 24 Valve) 220HP. I figured I couldnt lose for the price. Why the hell not. And I'm a fan of having the red headed step child cars. Around here there arent many stealths at all. I was hoping to find a VR$ AWD TT, but the best i could do was like high 5 g's. It's a project car and I know what I got in mind. I raced my brother (he bought his last week) and my tib did get off the line a lot better. But once we got higher up in the gears he pulled away pretty good. Especially on the highway. But my Tib is now stock as hell. Time will tell but the EREUBUNI kit looks sweet, and I like the idea of the black rims, but I have no idea who makes them.

Mitsubishi 3000GT has a few models. The VR4 is their Twin turbo AWD model. It is a 6g72TT engine. The Dodge stealth also has a few models. They have a 6g72TT AWD engine made by Mitsubishi. Basically the same car. Except the damn stupid spoiler on the stealth..lol There are also a few Front wheel drive Twin Turbo'd 3000gt/Stealth out there, but traction is a biatch. Oh well.
