1994 Mitsu 3000GT VR4

[mgmetal]

Does anybody know how much the 1994 VR4 weighs in at? Edmunds.com said 3174 but all the other years were around 3700lbs so I think it might be a glitch... Let me know if you can

Edmunds made a mistake, the VR4 weighed from 3,740 to around 3,800 lbs.

I wished to god it would've weighed 3,100lbs then i wouldn't hafta do the whole carbon fiber body remake.

whats the point of building a 300GT anyways?

y so heavy?

[3000gtmaoriguy]

i believe its in the chassis

The twin turbo models had 4WD and 4WS, which adds up to a fair bit of weight.

it's also transverse engine arangement, which makes implementation of AWD more difficult, it also had stuff like that wierd switching exhaust, and just was poorly optimized for weight. Also it has an iron engine block, something that just doesn't make sense in a sports car.

Although the iron block is one of the reasons the engine in the 3000 is so tough and modifiable. I don't think Mitsubishi was too afraid of weight when they made that car either. 4WD will do wonders is what they thought.

The thought was high tech. The iron engine block was because that just happened to be what the engine they had around was. Weight was an issue, sure, but it wasn't a priority for them to fix. The car worked and was fast heavy, and that wasn't an era when anyone was making small, compact, and lightweight cars.

Hallo mgmetal,

 

schau doch mal hier zum Thema Zubehör für Andere Automarken (Anzeige)? Eventuell gibt es dort etwas Passendes.

It was iron, and just what they had around, but it proved to be strong. And, as a GT car, it's kind of expected to be on the heavy side. I never thought of the 3000 as a " sports car ", it was a bit more luxurious than that.
