You were the one that came into this thread like the 3000gt know it all hardass. If you had just voiced your opinion and backed it up with legit facts we wouldnt be in this mess.

I’ve driven and raced against 3000gt TT’s. And actually about 5 years ago I almost bought a 97 3000gt vr-4. Then I read up on how much of a pain in the ass they are, and watched how bad it sucks changing trannies in one.

I will side with you in that they are one of the best looking cars ever produced, but too much hassle for me that comes with it.

Dont get me wrong, I’ve seen 1 or 2 fast ones. I think it was altered atmosphere that had one running 10’s a few years back.

But seriously in the world of twin turbo cars, they are lacking. For the 1 or 2 3000gt’s you show me running 10’s, there are 100 supras running faster with less mods.
