Way back in the day, when mullets were just waning, I really wanted one, but never pulled the trigger.  |

Don't bother. Incredibly heavy pig that's difficult to work on or modify.

In the right trim, they were awesome. A real bitch to work on, from what I understand though.

Twin turbo AWD V6 making 320 HP in the early 90s. Should be way more iconic than it is.

They were cool cars, my mom drove a Stealth R/T TT and a VR4 after that(both manuals for mom). They only stopped making/bringing them here due to the OBDII stuff. Pig heavy or not it produced an incredible amount of torque at a very low rpm. |

I had a high school teacher (young guy too) who bought a green vr4 new, with cash he claimed.
We all wondered how a teacher afforded such a car back then...maybe he was a saver, or his wife was well to do...or maybe he did well in investments. We all envied him for sure. |

While in high school, I did some landscaping work for a doctor from my church and his son in the '90s. He had one, a 1993, and after lunch one day of talking cars he tossed me the keys and said "have fun, have her back by 6". I do know two things about them. A: I would love to have one. B: They leave the line like a bat out of hell if you dump the clutch.

I always thought those were really badass looking, especially from the back angle.
Low and wide, gave it the look of a car more expensive and sporty than it really was. There's an even more rare hardtop convertible variant too, if I remember right. The hardtop convertible was way before its time. |

Try working in an auto parts store, and listening to people complain about their Mitsubishis. It's enough to turn you away from them forever. They're about as bad as people who buy the older BMWs, thinking it'll make them "cool". All they do is make them "poor". Wait until they have to buy a battery for them!

Yeah, no shit. The one I drove had the "Active Aerowork" or whatever they called it. The rear spoiler would pop up automatically at a certain speed. We had a couple of them running around here, one hardtop and one Spyder. 3KGT VR4 owners are strange people. There's no real in-between - either their cars are complete and total wrecks, barely running, or they dump tons of money and effort into them and they're perfect. The Spyder always scared me, because of the hardtop. I was told it takes a special laptop PC with some cables and software to reset or diagnose the top in the event of a failure, and at the time I was told this, there were like four people in the southeastern US that had working equipment for the top. |
