Re: How fast/powerful can u get a 3000gt ?? any websites plz

Well this really depends on how much modding you wanna do. Hotshot has a pretty beefy auto and it seems to be pretty freaking good.

Stock vs. stock, manuals are prefered as you can take them to the shift points you desire, however if you beef up your auto tranny, there are alot of advantages it has over a manual.

First off, autos hold boost better in between shifts, auto's torque converters are a hell of alot better for hard launches, as manual trannys essentially are a hand grenade waiting to go(as hotshot would put it). Autos also shift much faster than a human with a manual, as you mentioned.

With a highstall torque converter, a shift kit, and stuff to improve traction...like LSD, the Auto would take the manual...it is unfortunant that they didn't make auto vr4s solely for that reason...because to get an Auto even with the vr4, you need to do the TT conversion and then still deal with traction, as the N/As were FWD vs. AWD.

But Hotshot seems to have handled that pretty well, you should talk to him.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

A great auto trans will alwas be faster and put traction down faster and more consistantly than a manual. I dont know enough about the autos in our cars to say if they are better with a shift kit or now. Maybe holshot can chime in here.

However, I prefer a manual, it makes driving more fun.

And now for one of my favorate quote.
"The fastest cars in the world are automatic, unfortunatly your honda is not one of them."

I remember looking on ebay motors a while back, and I think I member seeing a guy in Cali who claimed to have a 92 or 93 stealth RT/TT with 800HP max, yea that's the most I've heard of..

Thanks for the info. I think I am going to go with an automatic with upgrades. Anyone have a list of suppliers for all the upgrades for automatics?

a second gen 3/S is just as fast as a MKIV supra stock for stock. you do not need anything more than an $18 boost controller to run all over a (stock) TT supra. then again he can do the same but you made it sound like you have to mod the hell out of any 3/S to hang with any supra when in reality they are more or less the same speed stock vs stock. just making sure that you are not overestimating the supra as so many import fans do.

what is this auto talk???

you can do mild upgrades to a TT (they were all manual) and be faster than any auto 3/S in existance. not saying that autos are not better for full out drag beasts but not our autos i would think. plus you can upgrade the stock t-cases easily enough so that they will not grenade.

There are some quick ATXs which is good news for those who don't have the money now to get into a VR4 or RT/TT. Given the preference, I'm sure we all know what to pick
