good looks...

Weaknesses:
I know there's alot of kids here thinking this "sports" car is really the greatest thing since sliced bread. First of all, I have read literally dozens of professional reviews such as Motor Trend magazine and talked to a few people who owned a Dodge Viper and have never once, not once, heard about anyone "laughing" at the Dodge Viper. The rest of the world literally fears the Dodge Viper and to say "that's why the rest of the world laughs at the Dodge Viper" is a desperate attempt to raise this car up on a high platform that it doesn't deserve. I have had the opportunity of being able to drive a 1999 Dodge Viper RT/10 and own (unfortunately) a 1998 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR4. Let me tell all of you.... I'll admit, the 3000gt has a smooth shifter and a comfortable "feel" all around, but compared to the Viper I drove, this 3000gt is a slow, rough, and nasty looking slug. I've owned it for about a year now and have already had to buy a brand new engine. The radiator hose constantly keeps melting even after purchasing new ones, the paint is already peeling away both in the exterior and interior. All of the inside materials are cheaply made as they are ripping and breaking apart (the seats are already ripping apart). Unless you had a role as a munchkin in the Wizard of Oz you definetly wouldn't want to sit in the backseats. I can't stress enough the painstaking effort that must be put in to these downright worthless and carelessly made (not to mention ugly looking) pop up lights.

Summary:
I don't think I've ever been more dissapointed with a vehicle, especially a sports vehicle, in my entire life. If you want a real sports car (not considering the high price) don't listen to those Japanese enthusiasts who take pride in nothing but useless AWD/FWD cars, get a Dodge Viper RT/10. The speed, comfort, quality, and "bad a_s" look to it is literally breathtaking. If you want that extra .01 seconds of AWD grip that import fanatics take pride in.... then.... yeah.... go with the 3000gt...

1999 3000GT Base

Strengths:
This car likes to go! I may own the base version with only 161 horses but I have been able to mod it and get upto 150 mph. The look is just as nice as the style. I really love the look they chose for the 99 GT's. Just drive by and the panites DROP!

Weaknesses:
So it is a little small. Specially in the back. NO ONE EVER SAID IT WAS MADE FOR A FRIGGIN FAMILY!

Summary:
I truely dig this car. Because I have the base model it has given me lots to work with and change. (Thinking about selling the borla exhaust I have put on it) CONTACT ME! Tons of fun. I dont think I could ask for much more of a fun, good looking, and dependable car as I got for much less money.

300 GT SL.. A bit faster.

Strengths:
Everything, it's awesome!

Weaknesses:
Pieces are costly and hard to find. When needed. Drinks gas a lot.

Summary:
This is the best car I ever had. Great acceleration, great handling and you can always modify it to your "needs". My need was to get it to 400 hp. 4WD, 4WS, it's simply the best sports car you can get. Paid 44000 US$, 5000$ in upgrades. Make sure you install a H&K air filter for 10 more hp.

1999 mitsubishi 3000gt

Strengths:
The car was pretty strong, beating camaros, mustangs, etc. I've always like driving it, you'll be getting attention from alot of ppls, especially girls, i like the style, the body of the car..

Weaknesses:
My brother in law had a black one, transmission went off on it, the one i've drove, didnt know if the transmission went off or not, cause when i got my thermostat fix up at a Arabian place, they fix the sh*t, but later that night my transmission went off, my brother-in-law found antifreeze water in my transmission,they f*ck it up so , i'll bring it to them to get it fix, the stereo is not that nice, i would rather get a nicer one put on, interior should be nicer , i did had another problem with the car, was smoking quite a bit on the exhaust pipe, had to get new engine heads fix, pan,gasket, etx. spent almost 8.000$ on it, but later found out that the car had been in a wreck before :( thats probably why all the problems being fix to it..

Summary:
I've driven it alot, brothers wanted to borrow it also, I really like this car with the nice turns, acceleration, but the maintenance is pretty high on it in the end, I really like the attention from ppl (especially girls), some even say its the fastest car in the world (haha yeah right) but i'll just lie and say yeah :), I'm wanting to purchase another one a 99'3K SL COUPE RED, but their so damn hard to find especially they dont make them anymore, still looking for that 99'3k sl coupe, red , ...
