Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What are the main differences between the available engine options?

The 1990-1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT offers two primary engine options: a 3.0L SOHC V6 producing 164 hp and 188 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.0L DOHC V6 twin-turbo producing 300 hp and 307 lb-ft of torque. The base engine focuses on reliability and efficiency, while the twin-turbo variant delivers significantly higher performance and acceleration.

Q2

What transmission options are available?

The Mitsubishi 3000GT is available with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The manual transmission offers precise gear shifts and better control, while the automatic provides smoother, more convenient driving.

Q3

What are the key safety features?

The 3000GT includes standard safety features such as anti-lock brakes (ABS), dual front airbags, and a reinforced safety cage. Higher trims and optional packages may add traction control, active aerodynamics, and electronic suspension for enhanced stability.

Q4

How does the fuel economy compare to competitors?

The base 3.0L V6 achieves 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, while the twin-turbo variant gets 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. These figures are competitive with other sports cars of the era, such as the Nissan 300ZX and Toyota Supra.

Q5

What are the recommended maintenance intervals?

Mitsubishi recommends oil changes every 3,000 miles or 3 months, tire rotations every 6,000 miles, and a full inspection every 12,000 miles. The timing belt should be replaced every 60,000 miles for the twin-turbo engine.

Q6

What are the most notable features and options?

The 3000GT offers features like all-wheel drive (AWD) on higher trims, power-adjustable seats, a premium sound system, and a retractable rear spoiler. Optional features include leather upholstery, automatic climate control, and a heads-up display.

Q7

How does the cargo and passenger space compare to competitors?

The 3000GT provides 12.6 cubic feet of cargo space and seating for four. While the rear seats are tight, the interior dimensions are comparable to the Nissan 300ZX and slightly larger than the Toyota Supra.

Q8

What are the towing and payload capacities?

The Mitsubishi 3000GT is not designed for towing and has no official towing capacity. Its payload capacity is limited to 850 lbs, including passengers and cargo.
