1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 V6 Twin Turbo - $5800 (Northwest Suburbs of Chicago)

1992 3000GT odometer: 148000 manual transmission

For sale is my 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 V6 Twin Turbo Manual Transmission. The car is in very good condition for being over 20 years old. It comes in the rare factory color of pearl white with red leather interior. Car has 148,000 original miles and I am only the 3rd owner. I bought it from a guy who came from Virginia, from the Marines, who was stationed in Wisconsin. The car has never seen snow and has all the paper work proving it is originally from Virginia. Car is currently in my garage and has NEVER been driven past Nov 1st. Has all service records and even the dealer sticker it came with when it was sold in 1992. The transmission was rebuilt at 108k and I have the paper work to prove it. Car has really been taken care of over the years. Car sounds beautiful with a Borla exhaust system installed. It doesn't sound like a ricer, actually sounds "throaty" like a muscle car. Car pulls extremely hard and boosts really fast. Absolutely no rust, dents or accidents in this cars lifetime. Never used to race or abused by a teenager. I would put it up against any new foreign car these days. I am in the works of installing 5% tint all around the car and I have a Viper alarm/keyless entry/automatic starter I was also in the works of installing, but will include (or even install) for the right price. I am not in a hurry to sell this car, but I would be happy to entertain any offers, so please, no low balling (CASH OR CASHIERS CHECK ONLY). Feel free to email or text me at 815-674-5180 with any questions, or to check out the car in person. Only reason I am selling it is because I am going to purchase a new 2015 Mustang GT in August. So, I definitely have plenty of time to sell it. *I have tried to sell it 2 times earlier this year, but the people never paid. So, please, do not bid unless you have the money and intend on making the purchase*

I also have a video that I can send anyone that's interested of a tour around my car. Please message me for any questions, concerns or to visit the car. Also, here is a YouTube video of my car:

Mitsubishi Lancer, Outlander Sport named 2013 IIHS Top Safety Picks

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has added a pair of Mitsubishi models to its ever-growing list of 2013 Top Safety Picks, giving the prestigious safety award to the 2013 Outlander Sport and Lancer (sedan and Sportback). Both models make a return visit to the list, but with 117 cars now on the list and IIHS crash standards getting tougher just about every, this is big news for the small Japanese automaker.
Among small SUVs, the Outlander Sport is just one of nine vehicles in this segment to be named a Top Safety Pick, while the Lancer's name is surrounded by 28 other compact coupes, sedans and hatchbacks in the highly competitive small car segment. The Top Safety Pick status does not apply to the Lancer's Ralliart or Evolution variants, and neither the Outlander Sport nor the Lancer were subjected to the new small frontal offset crash test that would have resulted in the new Top Safety Pick+.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander GT

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

I'm not a gambling man, but if there were a pool for an automotive death watch, my money would be on Mitsubishi... Lincoln is a close second. To understand the plight of Mitsubishi, you only have to look at its current lineup; they all just look, feel and drive about 10 years older than they really are. With the departure of the Endeavor and merciful killing of the Eclipse (the Galant lives on, but is on hiatus for the 2013 model year), one of the worst remaining offenders is the Mitsubishi Outlander, which I recently drove in top-level GT trim for this Quick Spin.
If we had a time machine and took the 2013 Outlander GT back to 1998, it would be revolutionary. If we could take it back to 2004, it might be near the top of its class. But in the current highly competitive crossover segment of today, the Outlander just falls short. Yes, the all-new 2014 Outlander is on its way later this year, but from what we've seen both inside and out, the new design would look great in 2008. That being said, spending a week with any vehicle can point out surprising highs as well as lows, and there are still plenty of reasons to enjoy Mitsu's midsize CUV.
Driving Notes

Watch Mitsubishi break the EV record at Pikes Peak

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Take a listen folks - you're hearing the eventual future of motorsports. This is Greg Tracy and the Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution III as they assault the treacherous course at Pikes Peak in just 9:08.188.
This run is significant for a number of reasons. As we recapped in our Pikes Peak finale post, Tracy's run was a mere two seconds off the best overall time at this year's event, snagging him and Mitsubishi second place overall, as well as first in the Electric Modified class and the fourth fastest time ever recorded. Perhaps more importantly, though, Tracy thoroughly trounced the previous EV record at Pikes Peak, beating the legendary Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima's 2013 best of 9:46.530.
It's an impressive feat, and now you can experience the whole run from as near a first-person viewpoint as you're going to get. Scroll down and have a look.
