3000 GT-solid performer
Great car. Fast. Fun. I use M&S high performance tires but still can easily spin the tires in the winter months. I replaced the clutch (worn mostly from previous owner) and water pump/timing belt (please change both when doing this--cost of timing belt $700, and water pump $800 seperately, together only $900--get the picture. I love the car. A bit heavy when driven slow and very nimble when pushed. Nice ride. Independent suspension is very nice compared to the harsh ride of a Camaro (yes, I owned one). Corners great and looks good standing still. Taller folks would probaby rub their heads on the ceiling. It even passes the golf club bag test!
SO HOT!
This beauty gets attention wherever she goes. This car is so fast and so fun, wow. It's too bad more people won't have an opportunity to drive one. (Mitsubishi made so few.) But now, it's rare and should hold (or increase in) its value. Anybody know what this car is really worth? Collectors should be clammoring for one before they're IMPOSSIBLE to find!

Changed it up!
I bought this car for styling purposes only. I took out the stock engine and replaced it with a supercharged Ford 5.0 Coyote and 6 speed gear box. The car looks the same on the outside but is now rear wheel drive with more power than I can handle really. I hate the fact that there are no real cup holders. I am always drinking soda. It also is hard for me to get in the car. I'm 6'2" and I have to crawl in carefully as to not rack my jewels on the steering wheel. I wish like heck it had an adjustable steering wheel.

Like no other car in the world!
I own a 97 Mitsu VR-4 so I'm familiar with the platform but when I bought a 95 Spyder a year ago, all I can say is wow! I've seen guys who drive Porsche, Ferarri, & BMW turn their heads to take a look at this thing. The retractable top is memorizing and the styling is over the top. People still ask if this is a new car. Although the retail value of these cars have declined over the years, I believe that they will eventually rise in value since there are so few vehicles out there.
Just plain fun
95 VR4, garage kept in the winter. Can’t wait for spring. The feeling of it through country road curves is amazing. It just drives and pulls you into each curve the faster you go. I own a number of newer cars including a Cayman GTS and Mustang Bullit. Find myself picking the VR4 for the exhilarating drive every time. Best car I ever owned. Only complaints are constantly monitoring wear of timing belt and deteriorating headlamp covers but otherwise a dream.
