I’m happy you decided to keep the car. I’d like to point out the base and SL 3000GT weighed significantly less than the VR-4. A typical base 3S is 3200-3300 lbs and the SL is between 3300 and 3500 depending on options. Also you state the 3S never really caught on, however it was by far the best selling Japanese Halo…

So like Firefly?

Wait are you really trying to tell me a cyclist actually stopped at a stop sign?

I for one have lost a lot of faith I had in CarMax. I’ve recently discovered their California stores have become standard commission based. Basically they are now just a massive shady overpriced used car lot now. With the commission based staff I noticed they are much more pushy and more likely to make crap up just to…

While I don’t have a lot of experience traveling for this sort of thing I have to say the now Tudor races at Laguna Seca are awesome. To get to the corkscrew you almost have to walk through the paddock. Most of the fences are about chin high, which let’s you see over them easily. You can go nearly anywhere around the…

That’s the truth! I managed to convince my girlfriend to get a 2005 Legacy Wagon, but now she only wants a wagon. I feel like I shot myself in the foot.

Dollar for dollar a sedan is a better deal than a CUV. Also for me a CUV still has too many draw backs compared to a proper wagon.

Yes because the entire state of California is just mere minutes from the beach...

I just heard on TV the actual line cut was in Alameda so it did take place in the Bay Area, however many of the customers who lost service are in the Sacramento area.

I’m not sure why this says SF Bay Area when it’s actually the Sacramento area suffering the outages in this attack. http://m.kcra.com/news/outage-in…

This makes me miss my 87 Starion so badly :( I never should have sold it for the 3000GT VR-4.

Starion/Conquest are not dsm they were all built in Japan. To be a dsm the car must be built in Normal IL and be a joint venture car between Chrysler and Mitsubishi.

Doug, I love your work, and this article is awesome. However, I don’t care how many times you tell me to follow you on Twitter it’s not going to happen. There’s a greater chance of me trading my Miata for a Hummer than me signing up for Twitter. (pun partially intended)

I’m not sure if it was even nominated but why no 3000GT end of the Japanese ‘halo’ car era.

Trim for trim MSRP was fairly similar across the Japanese halo cars except for the NSX. I pulled all the numbers from the Z32 300ZX, FD-3S RX-7, MK IV Supra and 3000GT. The 3000GT was by far the most popular sales/production wise, trim for trim, on its own. If you roll the production numbers of the mechanical twin the…

Actually sales wise the 3000GT was the most popular of the Japanese 90s halo cars.

Speak for yourself, and even though there’s something nice about cruising around in a tall SUV I specifically don’t own one because without fail I prefer to get into my NB2 Miata when I’m done borrowing the cushy SUV.

I’m pretty sure his post has 5 finalists on it so he’s good...

Oreca is a French company right....

I've been seeing that picture show up in ads quite a bit the last month or so.
