I wasn't saying that it wasn't a muscle car. But I know 100 percent, that when we all heard of a new "GTO" we all wet our selves. And then when we saw this one............ I really don't think it was worth the pants wetting IMHO.

Also, you can't say that mistu stopped the turbo and awd for reliability issues. If that were the case, Then why would they have both on the best car that they offer? And actually, The GT and GTS are alot slower than the GSX and GST. GSX runs 14.7-14.9, and GTS is a 15.2-15.5 car.

And I really hate when people say "Well, put a turbo in the GT/GTS and it will be faster." Becuase don't forget, it has 6 cylinders. Hell, give us 2 more cyls and will still be faster than the 3G's

Because they really wanted to have the Evo here to compete in the sport-compact market. It's still not reliable. Go to some Evo forums or local Evo clubs, you'll see what I mean.

the evo engine is a pretty strong engine.. reliable? i can't say that about any mitsibishi.. and i think the old ones are better than the new ones..

also i dont think they were having problems with the AWD and turbo.. i mean sh*t dude they made the evo.. im pretty sure the eclipse isn't that different..

Its the same engine.. not exactly the same.. but pretty close.. also the awd system should be just like the evo

I did not know Mitsubishi had so many quality problems with their cars... I had heard their heavy industry was having serious quality problems and they were trying to hide their recalls from investors ect... Diamler also refused to give them a 6B cash infusion and they are in trouble...

Joseph1082 · #35 07-01-2004, 10:38 PM

you guys know mitsubishi made tanks in WW2.

aznxthuggie · #36 07-01-2004, 10:40 PM

Let the bitch slapping begin! Overrated I totally disagree, why because you are asuming people rate Mitsu relaibility as incredibly high, wouldn't that have to be the case to be overrated in the first place, most people know Mitsubishi doesn't have the greatest reliability so how is it overrated. Second of all, maybe do some research before you make such bold comments, many EVOs are street realiable and running 11 seconds and faster already in the USA, the EVO is no different than any other car that can run into problems when they triple the horsepower, it's just a fact, the more power often means the more problems for many cars, not just the EVO. You say from experience, how many 500AWHP+ DSMs or EVOs have or do you own?

i know plenty of people with the 3000gt with well over 200,000 miles on em, hell i'm at 150,000 miles, and no probs with the engine yet, not even signs. now the synchro' is another story but besides the sychro's its very reliable.

As for useless cars, I will get insane heat for this, but the Porsche Boxter (Not S) is very useless... It seems to me that the boxter is for people wanting a porsche just to say they have a porsche...The 228hp engine is hardly Porsche worthy and I think is a modified Jetta VR6 engine

What?? The engines couldn't be any more different. The Jetta engine is a Narrow-angle 2.8 litre V6, the Porsche engine is either a 2.5 or 2.7 litre flat six (depending on year)

My list of overrated cars: DSM's, evos, mercedes, audi's, vw (ie. golfs and passats... I mean rolling electrical problems)

nbw · #41 07-02-2004, 12:31 AM

hmm overrated cars...
I'm going to have to go with Skyline, even the GTR. Not to say it isnt a bad ass car in anyway but lets face it, allot of people believe this car to be a god. I'm sure plenty of people will disagree with me, but I would like only the people who own or have driven(spiritedly :P) to correct me since they are the only ones who can really say.

I think I have the right to underrate a vehicle that I haven't driven that allot of other people who have also not driven it either but overrate it.
or something..

lol

edit: while I am already rebeling against popular belief I am going to say the 240sx is also overrated.

*puts on flame suit

haha thats funny you mention that, i used to have a big screen mitsubishi

youngvr4 · #44 07-02-2004, 01:15 AM

i'd say the skyline is overated in certain peoples eyes, since there are kids who(beleive it or not) would believe a stock skyline could out run a viper

so i can see where your coming from.

also in the ricer scene, the supra is also overated, they see that car and fall to there knees and bow

but they don't do it for a trans am ws6

actually it started like this..

"Also, lol. Eclipse GT, piece of monkey *@%& car. (Mitsu car designer) "How about we make a new eclipse! Yeah, we can make it uglier, slower, and take away the awd option. Sounds like a good idea!""

everyone stop talkin about the reliablility plz

and yea i have a mitsubishi tv thats why lol
