Mitsubishi 3000GTO Twin Turbo

[FactionOne]

Twin turbo V6, AWD, selectable diff locks, active aero... Japanese 'rari, years ahead of its time, or Tokyo tinsel?

I had one, insane car and even more insane fuel bills. Clutch replacement took 9 hours, the 4wd system is mostly based on the Shogun.

You probably guessed by my posting it that I'm on the cool side of the question. It's one of very few Japanese cars that I have a soft spot for; the spec ticks several really good boxes, and is doubly impressive when you consider the vintage. One of my neighbours has got one - I do the odd bit of computer tinkering for him, and it's used as a parts drop box - "those two PCs will be in the GTO" - which given that it appears only to need a bit of t-cut, makes me sad.

Did you find the AWD system as agricultural as it coming from a Shogun sounds?
