Default Rare Car Spotted: 95-96 3000GT VR4 Spyder...

i love seeing rare cars and i thought i'd share with the honda-tech community. according to wikipedia, only 1618 convertibles were offered...and these were modified by ASC in california. I didn't check the vin, but this car is either a 95 or 96. in any case, i like it. stock, for those who don't know, these cars had 320hp, around 300ft/lbs tq, awd, twin turbo v6.

Ah yeah, they are rare. I saw a red one several years ago driving around with the top down. I didn't get a very close look at it though.

if it's not your car, blur the ******* plates at least

a close friend had one... yes they are "fast" aka 13s but to do the thermostat we had to take off a bunch of **** off the engine bay just to get to it... pain in the ***... and that **** broke all the time (had it for like 2k miles) and then it broke and won't start

My aunt used to own one of these cars, they are def pretty fast for a mitsu. If I'm not mistaken I believe they had four wheel steering also, which is on among many many reasons why this car is so damn heavy.

Those cars has a lot of cool features.. twin turbo, awd, 4 wheel steering and the first gen I believe 92-94 had the active aero system which basically a front spoiler and rear spoiler would adjust for more aerodynamics at a certain speed

Used to be my dream car. Until reality hit and the reliability sucks so its hard to find a decent one for cheap.
