About “Night Rider”

The Mitsubishi 3000gt has been my favorite car for many years, obviously i originally wanted the Vr-4 with 320 HP, but because i am only a 17 year old kid i could not afford one, so i had to settle for the SL. i bought it in April of 2008. i've never driven a really fast car but i feel like this car has enough for me for now, my only priority when buying a car is it had to be black, which it is. My favorite all-around color is like a bright green, so i went with the black and green theme for my car. so people like it other don't, but i like it. when i bought the car there were snow tires on it which i didn't know, so i got a really bad popped tire in the middle of the summer, so i got a good quality all season tire. the first thing i did to this car was build a custom Sub box and put my two 450 RMS watt kicker subs in. i also have a CB radio with a PA system off of it so i can yell at people from inside my car. The next thing i would like to do with this car is either sell it and get a VR-4, or put in a beefy single turbo.

About “The Z”

This is my ex-wife's car, but I have it now. It was her daily driver for many years. We used to take it to all the Z conventions, and it has been on many tracks all over the country. It has also won most the autocrosses at the Z conventions for the last seven years.

The two valve motor and turbo give the car a power band much like a V8 with lots of low end torque and the car can move from a dead stop without slipping the clutch or touching the gas. Performance wise, this car is faster than a new mustang with upgraded exhaust and manual tranny.
