Help us out and define 'smoke' a bit better.

So which one is it? Do you leave the car running for five minutes in a parked position or something?

I'm assuming its burning oil. Whats the history of your oil changes? Sometimes jumping from a synthetic brand of oil from regular you might be getting some leaking through the seals. If you go to regular from synthetic, you'll have all sorts of problems with the seals and will burn like crazy (if this is the case - immediately go back to the synthetic).

Any more information you can provide will help the tech heads help you out

Color and origin of the smoke would help.

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.
