- [What Mitsubishi set out to do was to cram every bit of
high-tech gadgetry available into its 2+2 3000GT, making it one of the
most advanced sports cars on the planet.
- Despite its credentials, the 3000GT can trace its
lineage to a very unimpressive sporty car called the
Starion.
- A rear-wheel drive car, the Starion was initially
conceived as competition for the Nissan Z cars of the 1980's. However, with its boxy styling and modest
performance and handling characteristics, the Starion was, by most measures, a failure.
- So, when Mitsubishi began planning for the car that
would become the company's top-of-the-line replacement for the Starion,
they literally started with a clean sheet of paper.]
- Needless to say, I do not agree with this un-educated and
insulting evaluation
- of one of the best sports coupes to be built in the eighties.
-
- Neither would the many Motor Racing Drivers who have driven
this great car
- to many victories on race tracks through out the world.
