The 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 was my dream car growing up. I was always into the 3/s platform, and the 99 was the unicorn of that platform. With a complete facelift with the 1999 Model, it made it look like nothing else on the road. There's only 280 of these cars brought to the United States...
When I finally acquired one, it was all I had wanted and more. I got lucky and grabbed a really clean stock example of one that had not been hacked over the years.
We took it from stock to a 500awhp 3000gt vr-4 build over 8 years and that is where the car remains. It is a blast to drive! This car was also featured on the cover of Dsport Magazine!

Super clean car man, literally 500-600HP for the 3/S is the sweet spot for power. Anymore its literally too annoying, always hated how people tried to give it the 4G63 treatment and shoot for the moon only for them to constantly break and have issues. Enjoy it badass build!

Just picked up my '92 VR4 a few weeks ago and want to build it just like yours. 500-600 to the wheel is enough in a car like this. Keep all the goodies to make it a nice semi-daily.

Oh man, this '99 VR4 is truly the stuff of dreams for every 3/S afficionado. Had a '95 pearl yellow VR4 (just like the one you also have), put over 70k miles on her for the 5 years I owned it and really loved that thing! Warms my heart seeing 3000GT content and seeing a mint true '99 in motion just can't be beat!

Been in the 3S scene since I was 18 with a 94 SL, since then I’ve had a bunch, most notably the 99, followed by a spyder vr4. Found out I don’t like convertibles lol.

Great example of the 3/S platform! I have been daily driving one since I was in college in 2003! I currently drive a rather unique version of it that is a ‘95 GTO ATX AWD (all GTOs came AWD) in pearl white. I have installed 19T turbos on it and a Chrome ECU to control things. Another modification I have done that makes a difference is a Forced Four shift box with paddle shifters. As you would know, that allows me yo drive the car in manual mode as I please (most of the time, 😅). I shipped the transaxle to IPT Performance Transmissions to be rebuild and beefed up so it could comfortably deal with the additional horse power. The only thing I didn’t do at the time was to install an aftermarket flex plate, but I will do it next time I pull the motor or the transmission. People ask me how much I am selling it for every day, lol…
