, a fox mustang is the UGLIEST car ever put out, im not racing ,i like the style of the car. It has base horsepower of 220... and the insurance is like dirt on it which is great, and its 6500, hopefully will be less. I lowered it down from what it was. Also, cars like fox stangs and whatnot will be terrible when i go to college, im going upstate new york in a very hilly area with bad weather. 3000gt is front wheel, stangs are rear wheel, fox bodys are ugly as shit if i didnt say that yet. Also, the starting HP of the 3000gt, compared to the starting v6 fox body, is no comparison, if i wanted to mod it money isnt a huge deal as i do not have bills to pay, i am only 17.

Mitsubishi's suck. Look like stamped-out ricers. Im not a expert on there performance, but with that ugly @ss look you might ass well slap some cardboard fins on there with duct tape. This is my opinion though, as you very well know. Get a "cleaner" car. Something that doesnt have so many curves, dips, etc.

i love the racecar look of it personally, also its only rice if its got like, a racing look to like a body kit or something, but only has 150 HP or something, the 3000gt has a good bit of HP To match its look...

Look man, it's your tastes, your preferences. You know your tastes better than anyone... If you like the car, buy it.

if you like the car buy it, i cant see it because it says it has expired. dont listen to what people on here say unless it is spudgun related , go with your own feelings on whether to buy it or not.

Bah! chosen_way, stop talking out your arse.

Its obvious why he posted the question on here, he wanted feedback! Not "Dont listen to spudders on anything besides spudgun related stuff". Its a very select few that take extreme thrill in assembling PVC and other materials in such a fashion to project potatoes and other materials for a insane distance. So our tastes are similar in that very define aspect, so I think he 'thought' he would attempt the question among his fellow hobbyist. Am I wrong?

... 240sx is a dog of a car. Bone stock it only packs 150 horsepower.

The 3000gt is a powerful car and a fun one to drive.

Also scrid2000 you have no idea what you are talking about clearly. American cars have been proven time and time again to not be as well made as almost all import cars except for hyundai (ewwwww).

Just to list a few wonderful import car makers:

Ferrari
Lamborghini
Honda
Toyota
Nissan
Acura
Infinity
Mitsubishi
Porsche

The list goes on and on.

Theres only a few succesful sports cars made by americans is the Corvette, Mustang, XLR and a few others.

By the way, a car is only rice if it has the look of a high performance vehicle but no power to back it up. For example, a stock honda civic pushing roughly 100-150 Horsepower with a body kit on it, is pure rice.

A mitsubishi 3000gt on the other hand, pushing 220+ horsepower with a few things on it, is not really rice.

Though any car with the european alzetta headlights should be put into a compactor.
