Hey guys...

I always have a hard time finding my car specs, I usually go to www.google.com and in the search engine search for things like "1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 1/4 Time" or something like that...

I was just wondering if there a site that has just a bunch of car specs where I can go to it and search for Make/Model/Year and get specs? I really hope so!

Another question I have... which VR4 is the fastest? Is that also the VR4 you would recommend to buy? I've almost made my decision to buy a VR4, gotta have the AWD and I just can't find anything else that works for me! I want to walk all over Mustangs baby!

Thanks for the effort boys...

P.S. Does anyone know where to find some cheap VR4's? And also quick ways to improve 1/4 mile time's on the VR4's? Lastly, somebody posted a comment saying good luck trying to turn earlier, I think... do they have crappy cornering or whats the deal with that?

Thanks guys!

year make 0-60 1/4
1986 Dodge Colt Turbo 9.2 16.8

that doesnt sound right at all. the 91 awd turbo colt pulls like a mid 14sec 1/4 stock.

Then the only model you could get that's fast would be the 1992 Galant VR4. Those were the fastest model Galants. Ever.

I just saw this...not to be an ass, but aren't there general Mitsubishi and possibly 3kgt forums you could search for?

I find most forums about that type of car to be pretty bias and slightly leaned one way. But I certainly could about some of the questions I ask..

Does anyone know a good 3000GT forum?
