Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo Review | JDM Time Capsule

- Today Marcus jumps behind the wheel of a JDM Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo VR-4 to see what it's capable of in a used market full of insanely capable JDM sports cars from the 1990's. The GTO was sold in North America as the 3000GT and is capable of keeping up with the best of the time period. Under the hood is a 3.0L twin turbo V6 making 320hp which is plenty to haul around the GTO's not-so-lightweight chassis. Enjoy!

Definitely one of the more underrated and less popular JDM legends. I must say the body lines are amazing, I somehow always forget about these. Great car.
Josh Uraz probably because the ones you see are fwd majority of the time
Josh Uraz they also break a lot
Mine (in the video) is my daily and only car. Never let me down, I even drove it for 12 hours straight from Alberta to BC.
Had a Dodge Stealth RT TT(same thing as the VR4). Drove it like 4 times back and forth from Illinois to North Carolina, never let me down.... sadly I traded it for a clk55 AMG...
Brandon Gilmore what year clk55? I cross shopped my vr4 with that car! I love clk55s, but felt like the VR4 was faster from a dig and more unique, plus the lack of a manual transmission put me off the amg. I also drove some e55s, awesome cars, highway monsters.
definitely an underrated car
Ferrari of Japan
Have the pleasure of owning a 1991 twin turbo. Looks/sounds amazing, madness that after 28 years all the electronics still work. Super rare here in Ireland, gonna get it to showroom standard soon 👍 and hopefully turn some heads haha
Still have it by chance? I'm in the market for one, and finding a VR4 in Ireland seems like an impossibility. They're even hard to find in the UK, and with Brexit importing cars from the UK has been made a complete mess now.
Early 90s GTO 320 hp, Ferrari 348 290 hp. That GTO is a fantastic car
Uzeyr Hassan there was an ad that dodge put out in the early 90s stating that the tt stealth was faster to 60mph than the testarossa, which is actually true - dodge stated a 0 to 60 time of 4.89 seconds, which is definitely doable in a 1g stealth tt if launched correctly. The 2g stealth tt was capable of 13 seconds flat in the quarter mile and 0 to 60 in 4.7s to 60.
No one in the us knew how to launch these cars!
Also 1992 Porsche 911 245hp
Man Mitsubishi was the shit back in the early 2000s, in high school we all wanted an Evo. Mitsubishi needs to go back to the roots!!
I used this car in every video game I could race it on always handled well lol. I feel like this car is underrated I never hear ppl talk about this beauty from the 90's
Seeing a clean one is super rare anymore. There are so many crapped out ones that a clean one almost seems like an entirely different car.
Sad huh. There are a few white ones that kept their paint running around here, but I don't see them much...
I just bought one for £300 needs some paint work it’s just a shame I can’t afford the insurance atm
@@07wrxtr1 My pearl white 93 VR4 has kept it's paint surprisingly well. Tends to be the case for white cars
I just found a VR-4 sitting in a field amongst 3 other SL models. The guy said it was running fine and wouldn't start up one day so he parked it where it is. It's a 91 model in need of paint, interior and obviously some mechanical work. He asked for 3k but I think it's too high. What ya think? I'm thinking 2k
I've had mine for 12 years now and this car is my favorite! Yes, you get cars that are modern, lighter and more power to them but still the 3000GT VR-4 is the car that owns my heart. Even though it's old I still feel that this car is really good to drive. And taken in consideration that it was ahead of its time when it was made, Mitsubishi did a fucking good job making this car! And all the yummy tech they put in it. In the 90's!! The love for this car will never fade away
I guess me and you are in the i-will-never-sell gang haha! Never! I love mine too much, and will keep it no matter what. There are few people qualified enough to take care of such a fantastic machine.
@@jonathonhebert7042 Haha, I guess we are!😂👍 I agree and it IS a fantastic machine!
So underrated yet outperforms most if not all of its competition. I love these cars
Was never a Mitsubishi fan but my god theses cars are beautiful and well ahead of there time
man there's been so many gto/3000gt vr4 youtube reviews this year lol
I'm glad I bought mine before the sudden resurgence of interest in them happened that's for sure!
Kobrakai same here got mine 4 years ago and still loving it (even when it misbehaves)
Bad Omen Check out mine! I have the worst one!
Kobrakai I cant convince my parents to let me get one. I found one in near perfect condition '97 VR4 for $9500. It's "unsafe" for them?
unsafe? far from lol they're actually extremely safe, someone in the socal3s group not long ago got rearended while in his vr4 by someone going about 40mph apparently, he was fine and the car that hit him, a corolla I believe was completely totaled. meanwhile, he had a small dent on his bumper lol. These cars are built like tanks, the only issue is you HAVE to stay on top of them and take care of them! They get a reputation for being unreliable because people just don't understand that. If you do manage to get it, immediately do the timing belt, and make sure you get a mitsubishi oem tensioner and change every 60k!
Kobrakai I know all of this already. The problem is that my parents think that if it's a sports car it isn't safe. I can't get them to change their minds. All they like and have are SUVs and trucks. They also think that it's a waste of money because it isn't much use. They just don't get the concept of fun.
First one to spot my MR2 gets a prize :D Hit me up on Instagram @roadsuntraveled to keep up with what we're doing! - Marcus
MR2 at 2:11 =) chillin in the back
Is it at 2:12?
It was at 9:08 - 9:10 !!! :)
and at 2:11 oh crap just realised you guys ^^^ were right - sad times
Roads Untraveled where is that road? I live in BC
That shot of the wing, just caught me out of guard :D
I've got a Mitsubishi Fto and it's one of two I've previously owned. I love them! So fun to drive and people regularly make positive comments about it or are intrigued to know what it is. Would love to upgrade to a Gto at some stage. Thanks for the upload 😁
I absolutely love this car
You are definitely better than 95% of the automotive channels on CZcams. Amazing, vivid content!
Such a beautiful car
Dude you guys have the best videos on jdm cars.
:D
apparently the guys an asshole doe
the 1993(Popups) and 2000 VR4 are the best and meanest looking one, I just wish they werent so rare🥺💔
90's - The Japanese Sport Car Hay Days - Gone down hill ever since. Had me a 1992 TwinTurbo 300ZX with the 396 Jim Wolf Package - Loved that car.
blowbyu187 i had a 93 300zx tt, i loved that thing. I did some bpu upgrades before i sold it. I sold the z over my 96 vr4 only because i was doing so much highway driving, and the z ate corners like a monster. Even with the bpu mods i had, my stock VR4 still pulled on my z from a dig, but from a roll the z would gap it.
Selling that z is one of my biggest regrets. I love my VR4 but it never handled like that z, imo the z32 handled just as well as the fd3.
blowbyu187 Yup I hate to admit the 90s cars were more fun. I owned a 91 Stealth RT, 92 Acura Integra, 96 240SX,all these cool affordable cars have bitten the dust.
I have the ultra rare 95 Spyder VR4. This car is amazing even in stock form. They take very well to modifications and 400 awhp on the stock turbos isn't unheard of. Still lots of support and parts available. Kinda the unforgotten gem of the 90s JDM sports cars.
perfect insight on the 3000GT I love this so much and Mitsubishi. Keep cranking out videos.
+Roads Untraveled Wow, this Car looks so gorgeous, it's just a beauty. Looks much much better than Ferrari or Lamborghini even then and even today.
Keep making these videos.
Thank You.👌
Awesome video! Your talking and description of what you're feeling is really unique and separates this channel from others! It makes us think we're in the car too! Keep it up man
Car Review Channel stereotype list:
1. Obnoxious Dubstep- Check
2. Seizure inducing montage- Check
3. Fuckboy reviewer- Nought
All joking aside, great review. Keep up the good work.
Capitán Rastrero You're doing the Lord's work...#blessed
I will always have a spot in my heart for these cars (3000GT specifically).
Wow your production quality is beautiful!! Fantastic video man, no bullshit, just facts. Thanks for giving the car the credit it rightfully deserves. I love my 93 VR4!
I don't understand why people don't talk about these! I have one and so does my neighbor and it goes like stink! 165km/h in second gear pulling 6k rpm, they're insane!
God I love these cars. I have a bunch of videos of one on my channel, a little more hopped up haha. Glad to see another GTO review, especially on your channel!
The 1st gens are the best and rarest ones. I bought one recently.
We need it to come back !
SMS570X
Supposedly there is talks about it coming back in 2018 just google it
@@crubio94crHow did that go
another great video keep up the good work
Thanks man!
I miss this car, it was a beauty of its time.
still is
Active Aero is fantastic if programmed to meeting situations where the driver can gain an advantage on rival racers. My own concept is to have the software detect the distance of a straight road the car is on (through Google map style data) and based on the driver's throttle and braking application, have the spoiler set low as possible to reduce drag. As soon as the corners appear, the spoiler automatically readjusts the most appropriate height based on the sharpness of the corner and G Force generated and depending if another straight of road appears on corner exit, the spoiler is set low again to maximize straight line speed. There should also be a manual override on how the spoiler and diffuses is applied once the driver identifies that certain tyres have lost grip. Behaves pretty must like a modern F1 car but to have these concepts applied to a car from the 1990s is timeless thinking.
These are super rare in europe as well as supras, skylines and silvias.
Rage 9one all of those cars are rare in the United States as well
I love my 97! Fun daily driver.
I told a friend of mine I once saw a Mitsubishi GTO and he didn't believe me he never heard of it. In the 90's internet wasn't a thing. He was considerably younger than I. This car was the thing of legends. Till he googled it and luckily found info on it.
I normally like the later year models for looks but this is one of the nicest 3ks I've seen
Awesome video thanks! I have the 1993 manual transmission 3000gt i bought it when I'm still single. Now I married and kids..my first born son is now driving it. the performance is still as excellent as the first day i got it from the dealership and always a head turner every time we're in it. Wish they'd make more and I'm definitely gonna get one!
Glad to see you almost at 100k was here at 4K real OG. The quality of your videos now is fantastic
Thanks, Tom! :D We like OG subscribers :p
I've been waiting for this review for so long now!
It is completely stock and very clean
Great video with awesome production value... thank you for ur review of our platform 👍🏼👍🏼
going from strength to strength, well done Marcus and the team, loving the reviews
ive driven my friends VR4,they are loads of fun it makes me want to get one.
I love ThatDudeinBlue, but your reviews are a lot better then his. I don't know what it is, but keep up the good work!
An awesome car & one that I've always wanted. FTO is the closest I've ever gotten!
Adam Leask Owner here, i've always wanted a FTO. FTO and GTO in the same garage...
The FTO is so light and agile, it's great fun to drive. It'd be cool to have both in the garage! Maybe one of us can realise that dream one day.
I have realised this dream!!!! Check out my Chanel!
Mitsubishi GTO SR 1997
Mitsubishi FTO Version R 2000
And I'm about to buy the highest spec GTO Twin TUrbo 1997!! :D
This car honestly was literally when Mitsubishi basically said “you know what let’s make a car that’s the black album of JDM sports cars, let’s go all out”
Awesome review. The channel is growing! Really professionally done.
i love these things. vr4 fam
This is my dream car, because my first car was a Mitsubishi Eclipse, i always wanted more power with the same loook
I’m glad I saw this I’m saving to buy one for myself for Christmas 🎅
love the sound , what's the blow off valve and exaust ?
I own a 1997 VR4 one of the best cars I've ever owned so far. It may be heavy but it really doesn't feel like it when you are driving! personally driving a 800 horsepower one is alot different from this stock one I'm the videp
Joshua Jandt yea, there's absolutely no way you're pushing above 650/700 on this motor. let's see that dyno sheet
In your inbox?
I bought this car 30 years ago because I couldn't afford a Ferrari F40. They both had turboed 3L engines. I upgraded the GTO to put out 494 awhp on a dyno. Back then, the GTO was one of the most gorgeous sports cars and always attracted a crowd. It's negative points were it's weight and the Getrag gearbox couldn't handle the torque. Back then, the car had all the features one could dream of. Electronic suspension, active aero. Silent/sports exhaust, ABS, airbag, etc...An affordable Japanese Ferrari!
Because i was played game grand turismo 3. That game show me this car. And i love it. I wish i can purchase this car someday at japan🙏
brings back gud memories this car had a gto for 5 years amazing car
Brilliant video, thanks! I just bought one of these sight unseen on Ebay today. What could possibly go wrong! 🤔😂
Go, Alberta!
Nice video! For a GTO owner in Louisiana, I sure appreciated this video!
Building mine now here in Canada. Its a 1992 gto twin turbo. 92k on it. Just painted it alsa corp blood red candy. It looks amazing. Soon to be finished
I want one really bad. A 1999 Vr4
One of the sexiest imo
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you so much!!!!! Glorious cars
I love pretty much all the generations but the '99 is by far the best looking
I drove a 1997 one back in 2007 and thing was in mint conditions. It only had some bolt ons and it felt pretty fast in comparison to most stock semi expensive cars. Very nice car I wouldn't mind owning one.
So this video made be finnalt bite the bullet and buy one of these absolute weapons, and I am absolutely loving it.
All your Videos Do the Same thing to me... everytime i've watched one, i find myself searching the net for the featured model... your Work is great, keep it up. greetings from germany
I have a 97 vr4 sitting in the driveway and i love it and it is fast
Dari zaman kecik hinga dewasa...dream car...play this car on grand turismo 1
one of my most favorite cars ever
Active aero...it was definitely ahead of. It's time.
Lol theres one for under $15k with 14k miles on it. Such a plug
those rims belong on that car..
It's one of my favourite cars :-)
I love your videos. Fun reviews, great production. Thanks
One of my all time favorite cars! Great review!
Great review! Really enjoyed it. Glad you got to drive a clean example.
I had one when I was in my mid 20s, car suffered 2 catastrophic failures, the second due to the shop that repaired the first one and wouldn't admit it was their mistake and I had to walk away from the car due to funds at the time. I miss it, often think about getting another one.
I do like stock cars. Modified is all well and fun, but it definitely transports you back to the era better when stock.
thank youu, this was amazing
I had one of these - a Japanese import, MkII. Spent a lot of money uprating the suspension, brakes, forged internals, bigger turbos, injectors, fuel system, front mount intercooler, twin stainless straight through exhausts (one exhaust from each turbo, no cats - sounded awesome) and stand-alone management system. It put out around 512bhp on the dyno and was a lot of fun. Problem with them is the output shaft is weak, and breaks easily when you add power and all the torque for the 4WD has to go through one little shaft in a heavy car (mine was lightened with a lot of carbon fibre panels too). I got sick of replacing those damned shafts so sold it for an Evo at the time...
Ugh this style of music is so overused in car video, completely ruins the flow.
I can certainly agree. Gets distracting!
aiGeis agree it sucks
Yeah I don't get it, this dub step/choppy type of music is just awful. I dunno maybe I'm just getting older
Agreed, so focking annoying
Like it doesn't have to be shitty copywrite free trap music either but I mean if only someone can choose something better than this.. Because there is way better music out there to choose from
Awesome video man, really enjoyed it.
Ayyy Alberta reppin'!
My favorite Mitsubishi?
do another VR4
You gotta do an eclipse GSX this year!
So nice!
What an amazing machine...3000gt vr4 and eclipse gst-gsx great cars.
Very cool, I have never seen one of these before so thanks for the introduction 👍
I have very similar wheels on my 95 VR4. Owned it 11 years for a reason, and an SL before that.
It boggles my mind that this car received so little attention , I've own one for the last 20 years and its been rock solid in every way , it looks way better than an EVO and doesn't sound and feel cheap like a pop can ... truth be told.
my avatar says it all :) my dream coupe
what rims are those ?
My favorite car in Gran Turismo 1.
nice review. I have one. How would you compare it with a hawkeye sti
facelift first gen? round reverse lights, coming from 1990 owner gto!Active aero stuck to above 55mph,ecs stuck on soft,reverse bulbs not working,cruise control not working,raised impossible to put down windshield demister vents etc describes mine but still had the pleasure to peel back 5 times in a row an audi tt s 2016! yeah!!
Damn i am glad i bought two 3000gt vr4 twin turbo awd
