BWHAHAHA. Calm down there speed racer. I have the heaviest non turbo 3S and I can beat my friend's 87 Turbo pretty good. Although obviously his has 200k on it...Please don't talk when you don't know what you're talking about, the VR4/Stealth TTs run mid-high 13s bone stock, intake, mbc, exhaust = 12s.

LOL, this made me crack up. 3000GTs' repairs fucking suck. They break so much its retarded....everything on my NA seems to have broken once. As far as weight, they weigh 3800lbs. not too far off from the Supra's 3500. If you can't "afford repairs" then don't get a 3000GT. Everything for them is expensive, they break a lot (t-case lockups/tranny synchros/spun bearings/timing component faliures etc.), and you don't sound too mechanically inclined, so don't even think about buying one unless you plan on spending an assload of money to get it running right. Finding a shop that even knows what they're doing is hard also, most Mitsu dealers don't know shit. Only thing good about owning my NA is how much it taught me to work on cars because of when it would break when I'd be broke and I'd fix it myself since I had no cash lol.
Good things = The styling is way ahead of its time, its a lot faster, throw bigger turbos on it (say 13gs) with supporting mods and you have an 11 second 400+whp street car in 100% street trim
If you want a "nice" car that can beat most on the street than go for it, but its not exactly a good track car as its handling its not the best.
I have a friend that has both and says they're both good at what they do because the Supra is more fun to drive sometimes b/c of RWD, but the VR4 is fast and fun because the AWD pins you back in your seat.
I like my friend's Supra because its sooooooo easy to work on compared to my Stealth (TTs are harder to work on) but I dunno which one I'd pick...
3S = Nicer interior, nicer exterior, faster, shit breaks, expensive parts, hard to work on, higher value.
