Twin turbo V6 with 7K redline... Active aero... All wheel steer... Amazing for the time.

What happen to you Mitsubishi? You used to be cool.

I remember going to a Metallica concert and seeing a 3000GT in the parking lot for the first time, I was drooling over it for so long I almost missed the show lol.

I don't care what anyone says, Chrysler and Mitsubishi use to do awesome things.

Good god. Even if these came out today they'd still be cool as heck. Mitsubishi has fallen a long way since then. :( Such a shame. All of this from 25 years ago!

These cars were ahead of their time, nice design, great engineering.

I still have my 1991 3000gt pushing a little more then 400hp,i will keep it till i die.

I love these 1990's era cars. The 90s were my best and most fun decade. They're gone and I can never get them back but I can relive them a little in these videos. Remembering the cars and the music when you test the radio.

The beauty of these AWD GT’s is that you could drive them year-round...I put Pirelli snow tires on my ‘92 Stealth RT Turbo and never got stuck in our tough Iowa Winters...

Historically, these are some of the greatest all around cars ever made, looks, interior, performance, decent mileage and good dependability. These things still destroy the competition at spectator drag races for circle tracks even today! Timeless styling, if it only came out just today, and never before, it would still look fantastic and sell very well....

When i was young, the 3000gt struck me as a supercar, in the looks department anyway. To me it resembled a viper

If these cars hadn’t been plagued with issues they’d be super collectible now and would have a far better perception. They absolutely were ahead of their time, especially for the price. Active aero, 4-wheel steering, turbo’d, buttons on the steering while, primitive infotainment screen, and so on... I’m still a fan of these and if you can get a mint one they’re fantastic.

Oh my God, I love you MotorWeek. Watching your videos is like stepping into a time capsule to the 80's and 90's every time. Your videos just overflow with nostalgia. *SIGH*, I miss the 80-90's...

It breaks my heart to see Mitsubishi fizzle out from the badass car brand they were in the 90s/00s to the sad econobox brand they are today

25 years later still looks good. Mitsubishi should revive this one for late 2010s.

I got my license in the summer of 97. There was a handful of dream cars that were at least sort of obtainable (theoretically at least, I didn’t have that kind of money by a long shot, but it wasn’t 911 turbo or lambo money). Those cars were SN95 Cobra, Camaro SS, RX7 turbo, Supra turbo, 3000GT VR4, Nissan 300ZX twin turbo. For me at least, these were mid to late 90’s teenage dream cars!

3000gt definitely aged best

These cars are pretty awesome, especially when you consider they actually are closer to a 0-60 time of mid 4 seconds with a proper AWD launch, and deep into the 13's 100% stock. With basic upgrades these things would do 11's all day. And the 6 speed getrag is bulletproof, with a brace on the t-case, you'll never worry about drivetrain issues. Love the technology for it's day!

Some serious horsepower for 1990 wow

"world's first active exhaust system" this technology wasn't even available on cars like the McLaren F1. Think about that. It didn't catch on until almost 30 years later.

I almost never see a Dodge Stealth but I do see a few 3000GT's out there.

I had a black 92 Stealth R/T Twin Turbo back in 1993...what I liked about the black color on the Stealth is that it blended out the unsightly (IMO) contrast color they had on the retractable headlights, so the black color gave the R/T a somewhat unique look. It certainly turned heads in the 90's, folks would pull up close behind to try and read the name on the back, some thought it was a Lamborghini! I wanted a Porsche 911 but I needed AWD where I live as I drove this year round , which was one of the advantages of the RT/VR4 over other sports cars and why I picked it. Incidentally, I would not call it a sports car, but a GT. At 3800 lbs it was just too heavy to be considered nimble. After 2 years it became a chore to drive and I sold it to a 16 year old kid whose mother bought it for him. I couldn't believe it...I felt her giving a 300 hp car to a 16 year old was like giving a Toddler a hand gun. I hope the kid never hurt himself in it. The 911 is still on my list, wish I would have bought it instead of the Stealth back then.

Still one of my favorites. The 2+2 seating is the best. Just love the styling of these 90’s JDM machines

Active exhaust for this time is amazing since it's something that's barley being introduced in some of today's sport cars

I salivated over both of these back in high school. One of my neighbors about a decade ago restored a wrecked Stealth; it was beautiful when he finally finished it.

I had a 94 3000gt SL and it was such a nice little sports car, it handled good, looked exotic, decent power (222hp 3.0v6) and made a awesome beautiful sound when accelerating. I heard the FTO was also a nice little car with a powerful 2.0 v6 with 197hp that revved up to 8k rpm but sadly we never got it :( Mitsubishi you made such cool cars in the 90s, now the only thing you have worth glancing at are evo's.

These used to be my favourite cars as a kid - particularly the Dodge Stealth. Just thought they looked so cool.

that stealth is absolutely gorgeous! =D

Makes you wonder what would have happened if they kept evolving these models.

In 1993, I bought a slightly used 1992 Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo in Emerald Green. It turned heads wherever I went.

Both look so good. The Mitsubishi 3000GT, Acura NSX, and Toyota MR2 Turbo were my favorite cars of this era.

Grew up with these and life just will never be this cool ever again 😭😭😭😭😭

I loved the Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo as a kid growing up. There was even a Bandit TV show at one point with the Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo. Man the 90's was awesome 😁

The Stealth Twin Turbo is like the Concorde. It is still ahead of its time.

I remember someone saying how cool a 3000GT was. I asked what they thought of a Dodge Stealth. They said "JUNK" That was youtube but sums up the intelligence of most youtube comments.

That VR4 still looks awesome even today

I wish Mitsu and Dodge would get together again. Imagine what what they could do now... I've got two 1992 Stealths. Both R/T. On FWD NA and one TT AWD. These cars are amazing.

My Stealth was the best car I ever had

Wanted one of these more than any Porsche or Ferrari of the day.. bought one later in life just to scratch that itch.. still was surprised at how good the R/T was even in 2014. Sold it to another friend with an old itch to scratch. Ahead of its time for sure 👍

Glad to see you've uploaded this video. I remember some 5 years ago finding a lower res upload of this video which helped me decide I wanted this car and 5 years and many repair bills later I'm still enjoying it!

You haven’t lived life until you’ve done a 6k clutch dump in the VR4. I feel bad for the guy that bought that one off the lot 😂

Now THIS is how you sell a car, i was bout ready to write a cheque to the dealer

Mitsubishi Killed the 3000GT, The Eclipse, and the Lancer Evolution. Now they are making the Eclipse roll in its grave putting its name on a Crossover.

Finally! I've been asking for this review to be uploaded for months!

both of these cars are still dope as far as I'm concerned and I would love to own either one!

Me 1991: "Wow active aero and exhaust!" Me 2022: "Wow buttons and knobs!"

Timeless! If you see one in 2021 you still have to second look.

"Something happened on the way to Heaven" by Phil Collins was playing on the radio 🎵

1991 Dodge Stealth RT Turbo ... A what? Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 ... Classic!

I love how they use Pocono Raceway for several of these old performance reviews!

One of the Rare Japanese Legends from the 90's.

The engine is a 3 liter V6 DOHC with 2 turbos to produce 300 HP and 300 lbs/ft of torque , in 1991 , these are modern (2006-2011) BMW 335i numbers .

Omg active aero,exhaust, and adjustable suspension in the early 90's? Wow I used to love these and did know they had those features.

I worked on the Stealth when I was at Dodge back then. They were fast and handled great. Had to put a few clutches in, easy job though. Loved driving those cars. The all wheel steering was amazing and with AWD they were awesome.

I WANT BOTH

Mitsubishi was all about Quality & style from mid 80s till around 1995 , Even their Galant was super cool for a family sedan. If I had a 3000 like that, Id be proud to pull up next to any car out there & hold my head High

Great retro video loved the stealth and wanted one back in the day

The first car I ever wanted as a kid. I think I loved the name more than the car itself!

These cars were so ahead of their time. I don't know why you don't hear more people talk about them. Underrated.

I just bought a white 92 stealth rt tt with 94000, one owner, garaged, well maintained and completely stock...it's a beautiful car that is truly fun to drive. It's in my garage and only comes out on nice days here in Colorado. My wife and I love it and people really look at it going down the road!

WOW I never knew the car had ACTIVE AERO!! Damn .

Beautiful cars and still look good today

Was at a local pick a part junk yard about 4 months ago. There were 2 '91 Stealths there. 1 was an ES with the base 164hp engine, the other was a non turbo R/T in black. It was all there except for a broken quarter window, and in very nice shape. Had a Chicago police tow sticker on it. It had lots of fresh repairs on the engine, many new parts, and I bet with a set of keys and a fresh battery, I could've driven it home. Super slick cars! My dad wanted 1 in the worst way, back when they were new, but couldn't bite on the price. R/T turbos were going for north of $30k due to inflated dealer pricing.

3000GT... aaah~~~ a dream car

Dodge stealth was my Favorite. They are so hard to find now that are not destroyed.

These were very special cars! I LOVED them back in high school. Definitely missed. With that said, if you would have told me in 2017 you could get a stock Honda Civic (Type R) that could outperform these cars I would have thought you were crazy. Yet here we are. Just a testament to the passion and talents of modern car engineers. All this just reminds me we are in the golden age of the internal combustion engine. As we are on the eve of the electric car, the one thing that will be the greatest casualty of "progress" for me is the death of the 6-speed manual and 3 pedals :(

Wow, these were quite modern for 1991! I always thought these came out in the mid-90’s. It seems like the early 90’s really tried to go for that rounded “space-age” look. The Camaro and Firebird that came out later had a similar aesthetic.

Amazing cars, the Mitsubishi and Dodge. Today we're trying to combine touchscreen technology with 60's styling. It just doesn't work aesthetically.

I always wanted either of these two cars but could not afford it back then. The exterior still holds up IMO.

Stealth is still a one of a kind looking car.

In GTA San Andreas 🎮, the Alpha is based on the Stealth, and the Super GT on the 3000 of course :).

my buddy had the 3000gt vr4. what a monster.

These cars still hold up today almost 30 years later.

I never did care to watch this TV program.but now that I'm older I do enjoy it because these are some of the cars that I could not buy in those days so now I know what those cars back in those days were about.nice

Come on, Mitsubishi! Build a car like this today and we'll buy 'em! Oh, Phil Collins’ “Something Happened On The Way To Heaven” and the Commodores (minus Lionel Richie)’ “Nightshift” are what’s playing on the radio for any audiophiles wanting to know.

My lucky brat GF in high school had one of these. She went through 2 clutches in 1 calendar year! Poor thing (the car of course). I felt so bad for it not being able to be driven properly :(

I miss 90’s era cars. Engeneering and design was advanced by then, and we still had limited envirnmental limitations compared to today.

Slowly but surely, I will obtain all of my 90's faves.

I had a 98 VR-4 with AWS! It was a manual and a blast to drive, throwing it into second gear through a turn was too much fun! A lot of the stuff the VR-4 did was years....a decade in front of Porsche even!

Ah the Dodge Stealth. As a kid growing up in Indianapolis, the release of the annual Indy 500 Pace Car was always a treat. We would drive around town to see if IMS had let some slip out for the general populous to catch a glimpse, which would always make your day. The Dodge Stealth was selected to be the 1991 Indy 500 Pace Car, so as usual, we were definitely out and about Indy to see one. My buddy's dad was the UAW President of the Chrysler Foundry in Indianapolis so he gave us the inside line on when/were to see one. To say the least, we were quite excited. We never did get to see the promised Stealth that my friend's dad gave us the tip for.....When the Stealth came out, it was around the same time the USAF released the F-117 "stealth fighter," so Dodge had something of a marketable vehicle to sell and it got everyone's attention.....right up until the UAW (and some overly patriotic fans) caught wind of the not-so-American-made Dodge Stealth pacing the field at the 500. All hell broke loose....and this is how we got the pre-production 1991 Dodge Viper, driven by Carroll Shelby no less, as the pace car for the 1991 Indy 500. Three Stealths were at IMS for the 1991 500, prepped and ready to be used but the pre-production Viper and a back up were used for the entirety instead. Of note, 150 replica 1991 Dodge Stealths did make it to local, Indy area dealerships and were sold. Every now and then, you will see a very faded, weirdly yellow 1991 Dodge Stealth Indianapolis 500 Pace Car (in red lettering) motoring around the South Side of Indianapolis as one of the 150 owners still drives his/1991 500 winner Rick Mears, oddly enough, got a 1991 Dodge Stealth as his prize for winning the 500 that year....but a relatively unknown team owner named Roger Penske swooped in, took the Stealth and gave Mears a 1991 Corvette ZR1 in its place. The two Vipers were pre-production and returned to Chrysler (Dodge) with one later coming to the IMS Museum. It is rumored that Mr. Penske still has the Stealth.

I loved my Stealth. Yes, it was heavy AF but it was mine :)

Brilliant cars, much better than hoped for. Ignore bad reviews these cars are great

Stealth over the Mitsu. I just love the looks of the Stealth more. So good.

great find motor week, awesome review

These cars were SO ahead of their time!

On the streets these cars would humiliate corvette and mustang owners. Personally seen it. Back in the 90s of course

Yes! Love me a 3000gt

R.I.P. Mitsubishi...I love my 2003 Montero Limited

6 second flat 0-60 and a quarter mile of 14.5 is absolutely insane for 1991. For reference, my 1999 Ford Mustang GT did 60 in 5.5 and the quarter in 14 flat--stock--and that was 8 years later in a muscle car.

In the beginning, Hennessey had an upgraded Mitsubishi 3000 VR-4 and the kit was $18,000.00 Canadian. A lot of money back then, but it was fast and won many races.

He said the stealth looks cleaner, as I was thinking how much cleaner the 3000gt looked. The headlights and spoiler on the stealth look anything but clean

The 3000gt the best look

Picking up a 75k mile Stealth TT in a few days. Can't wait.

What I wouldn't do to put my hands on a 1991 Dodge Stealth RT TT with 1350 miles on it in 2018. Love the Stealth. My first car in 2005, on my third in 2018 :D

I miss Mitsubishi so much...what happened?

I was a technician at Dodge dealer at that time and those cars were amazing tech and performance when new. Most customers who bought them were driving them hard and the “Mustang hunters” (as I affectionately called them) did not hold up well. By 60,000 miles most of these cars were pretty beat. But I’d love to find a clean Stealth in white.

Bold as hell to say the stealth looks better. Sweet to see this in 1080 not 360.

Still one of my favorite cars. I didn't realize they had a lot of tech in them as well. I knew the twin turbos had 4 wheel steering but active aero and a performance exhaust switch? That's tech you only see on big dollar cars.

My dad and stepmom had a 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T (non-turbo) in Firestorm Red. That car was a definite head turner.

Used the 3000GT a ton when Gran Turismo debuted on the PS1.....
