this whole week has been s**t for this car. first some asshole cut me off and brake checked me making me hit em, then my subwoofer box in the back shatter my back window. well its alright though im sellin it and gettin a 96 Civic EX with a CF hood and nitrous purge kit, or a 95 Civic EX that just stock. the only problem is if my car doesn't sell for allot i have to get the 95 Civic. but thats fine ill take. ALL I KNOW IS THAT I WILL NEVER OWN A 3000GT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

awww noooo....don't go with a honda. now's the time to go with an eclipse gst or gsx. 2g turbo'slook great perform better than any honda would.</P>

I half agree w/ SpyderGS don't get a honda<IMG src=smileys/smiley21.gif border="0">get an evo or ralliart lancer<IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0">

u hittin the guy in front of u and blowing your back windshielf has nottin to do with the car, its the driver, so u r basically makin yourself look bad, not hte 3000gt, cuz mitsubishis will eat up hondas ne day in every category, maybe except mpg(lame...)

yaeh that is true gstspyder.. i love 3000gts theyre extremely nice. especially VR-4's :D

C'mon, we need to support 1Rippin so he won't go Honda.

hey 1rippin! did you follow that guy home and make him watch you **** his wife? hahahaha, I would have been so pissed. but that does suck.. what are you runnin to shatter the back window? dats a whole lotta bass. DON"T GO HONDA. eww[:@]

Just like darkman0127 signature says "Racing a Honda is like the Special Olympics...even if you win, your still retarded."

Dont get the honda. Get a real car... 97 & up 2G eclipse gst or x. Then we wont laugh when we beat you in a race. only nod and keep going.

cut off and the brake check... sounds like an old scam people used to do a num of years back.

Get a DSM not a honda

now's the time to go with an eclipse gst or gsx.

Hmmm. I have an '92 Eclipse (had it for years, but it's wearing out), and was thinking about ditching it and getting a 3000GT (or another Honda)... still thinking of getting a 3000GT, as (as someone else said) this comment seems to be due to driver idiocy. My Eclipse needs to be retired, though... have had it in the shop, more than out, lately, and it's getting to the point where I refuse to drive it, anymore.

Oh, and I had a Honda (Accord, LXi) before the Eclipse, and I loved it... very reliable (yes, more reliable than my Eclipse has been). Nothing wrong with Hondas.

um i own both so i can say this i always eat up 3000gt 's with my 1990 honda civic hatchback si not that the honda is stock or anything but i have and i wave out of my sunroof(between shifts) to them as im pulling on them more and more

Come on guys, not all hondas are that bad. Honda actually has one of the highest reliablility records and their cars last about 300,000 miles with normal maintenace. I've heard of accords hitting 550,000 miles on all origional motor and tranny. I kinda like Civics, not my favorite Honda though. If you wanna get a Honda, go with the Prelude. It has great styling and luxury. It's not a bad car stock. Throw in a few bolt ons and you're good to go. The only thing about hondas is they lack torque. You have to rev like mad to get anywhere. They outpower most other imports in their class without the use of turbos. Mitsubishi knows how to make great cars and motors too. I got a Chrysler with a 3.0 Mitsu V6 and it has 174,000 origional miles and refuses to die. The choice is yours. Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Mazda...they're all good. Good luck with whatever you decide to get.;)

Honda does make great engines, to bad the body will rust off of it before the engine dies.;):D

maybe except mpg(lame...)


I dunno, got 33 mpg on a trip from CO to NV... My car is booked at 27 highway, so I might give a honduh a run for it's $ on all counts, lol.

I hope rippin didn't leave....He was cool as hell...back in the day...

yea, honda's are nice and all, but from what ive heard the engine wears out faster than a dsm ever will, course around here wit all the idiot drivers its not suprising, just dont get a civic, please, they are way over rated and you cant get near the power out of em like you can a dsm...........

If you take take of a Honda Motor, it can live a long time. I've heard of
300,000 to 500,000 miles coming out of an origional Honda motor with
normal maintenance, no rebuilds, and on origional trannys. Not all Hondas
will go the distance like that, but it is possible.

Dont go honda, I have a stock 97 3000 gt, and I just beat a honda civic with nos in it, and I didnt stomp it but I still won... It seems though when one thing happens in one week a few things happen, if you own a gt dont race saabs, I raced one and afterwords, the ****er came up on me around a bend (after the race was over) I was doing about 40 normal speed, and he was doing about a buck 20 and he slammed the side of my car and then rolled his, then later that week my tire blew out on the rear right, but I will tell you I have not found very many cars that feel so comfortable with handaling at a buck fifty or higher they handle beutifuly reguardless, dont go honda one to many people have them they are way overrated and everything that can be done to those cars basicaly has been, The cool thing about 3000 gt's is there are not hundreds of them in every town, you dont seem family driving them all over, and though they are hard to get parts for performance, they hold there own, you may not want to keep the 3000 gt, but think of it this way do you think the window would have blown out if you hadnt rear ended that guy, maybe the accident gave it a pressure crack somewhere and the bass just finished it out... anyway enough of my bull****... dont get a honda

dude you so didnt beat a civic with nos cause ive raced a couple of those now and they win all the time go honda man its the way to be screw mitsubishi i hate my 3000 gt its gay just like this blood oath kids

Wow, angst much??

hey botchgoblin--you can't just come into a forum and start crap like that. You have to get comfortable with the people first...anyway, bloodoath has a point about seeing a family in a honda all the time...Yeah, I want a Lexus IS300 (which is a family car)...but with the factory 2JZ (same engine as the MKIV supra) you can easily put a twin turbo kit on it. Hondas are way over rated and way too expensive for what you get.
And also, I got my car up to 155 mph and let go of the steering wheel and there was NO vibration and my car did not pull to the left or right. Let's see any honda do that

Botchgoblin's name is jon politis, he is seventeen does not have a lisence and is not allowed to get one till he is nineteen cause he kept crashing other peoples cars, he does not know how to drive stick does not own a car, and had no Idea what he is talking about when it comes to cars, reason I know this is because he used to be a friend, now we just talk once and a while, he will most likely never be on this site again,

oh well, no loss there.......

ok well every dam civic i have raced i have beat with a stock 3.8 V6 bonneville auto, hondas suck, they are slow and cant do ****.

SAYNOTOVTEC!!!! also on a side note coke bottle=2 liters honda engine=1.6 liters

Where the hell did all these pro-honda people come from?..lol maybe if you bought an s2000 i wouldnt be so upset, at least they r something usefull on the street...but a civic?!...115 h.p?! those cars are made to be R.A.T's... im not gona sit here and tell ya to get an eclipse, or another 3000gt/stealth...but for god sake man!, dont lower your dignity and buy a civic!

Wow i have more bass than i should and my subs are right by the glass, anyway don't buy a honda they suck asshole, if you have to get a honda at least get somthing thats worth wasting your money on, at least preludes look okay when you do stuff to them, but like i said speed kills save a life drive a honda, and like someone else said at least if you have an eclipse we will nod when we pull into 3rd and pass you not laugh.

Wow botchgoblin, i have no idea what you drive but you can't just come onto a mitsubishi forum and start to talk **** on somthin that will f*** any honda up, honda's are like tampons every pussy has one. you cock suckin butt humper ill drive my stealth up your anal cavity and piss down your throat go hop or your tricycle and jerk off.. pussy.

amen to the liter point v-tech

i could fill your four bangin piece of **** with my load!

Wow...just wow.... I dont think the Honda boys have anything to say to that...

Don't go for a honda, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sister got a honda, and a GALANT Kicked it's ASSS in a drag. She went right to an Eclipse. I agree with GReddy, "Don't lower your dignity to buy a civic!"

Well no real loss if you dont get another 3000 but atleast get some sort of Mitsu. I mean Honda sucks I know because I used to have a 92 civic hatch with a B18C5(type-R) engine running 6 psi and guess what it still ate balls compared to my VR-4 at the time. I wouldnt just bad mouth Honda if I didnt know from personal experience...HONDA SUCKS!!!

HONDA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

don't get a honda they are slow my friend has race a "fast" hatch here where i live and he beat him on his almos stock eclipse exept for the air intake and exhaust and then some prelude and beat his ass too and then i beat his eclipse on my 3kgt auto you do the math don't buy a honda

wow, to think i was gonna do the same like rippin. i was gonna sell my car and get a honda...hmmm, guess you guys persuaded me. the only reason i considered getting sumthin else, is because i cant do much to a stock 3000GT SL. WHAT IS THERE TO DO?
