Let’s get furious with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX RS

The 992 comes away with 55% of the vote, making it as close as I thought it would be. This week, I’d like keep the theme of “Experience over speed”, and show you a car you might have forgotten about – the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX RS. The RS is what makes it special, and…

Talk Me Out Of It: the 90s rock

My God, that M5 had a history, but over 70% of you say you’d have it over the E55. Today, it’s the 90s, with a 3000GT vs an Acura NSX. Should be a fun one. The 1999 3000GT VR-4 vs the 1991 Acura NSX See the 3000GT listing here See the Acura NSX listing here…

The Subaru WRX GT proves a daily doesn’t need to be dreadful

Confession time. I don’t do so well with the whole “daily driven” concept. I’m simply too OCD. Can’t get dirty. Always on top of maintenance. Then the mods start. Before you know it, my daily isn’t really a daily anymore. And the ones I’ve picked, like the 328i, were kind of…boring? But what if they…

Friday mailbag: 3000GT restoration edition

I’ve become the patron saint for the 3000GT, and I’m ok with that. This week, it’s how to save one. Happy Friday! If you’d like to participate, drop me a question at mike@machineswithsouls.com. And don’t worry, you’ll remain anonymous. Question I happened to have a 1995 Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo, one of only 16…

The 3000GT VR-4 is better than a Toyota Supra

Nostalgia is a big business. Old movies are being remade. Old bands come back for reunion tours. And car makers revive hallowed nameplates, especially from the land of the rising sun. Supra. Z. GT-R. NSX. But what’s missing from that group? The Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4. Maybe it’s not worth it to Mitsubishi, who’s in deep…

Black Widow: Saving the Mitsubishi 3000GT

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know that it revolves around the world of BMW. But you’d also know that I have a weakness for 90s Japanese sport coupes, specifically the Mitsubishi 3000GT. With parts supplies dwindling and the miles adding up, I’ve decided to preserve as many as I can through…

Retro review: 1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT

Cars have always been important to me, and welcoming a new car is always a special day. But there’s nothing like your first one, which in my case was a 1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL. My parents are moving from the family home, and they came across some old film shots of my car. You can…

Shooting the Mitsubishi 3000GT

Take a look at my portfolio, and you’ll see a lot of expensive luxury cars. Occasionally, I might get a bit star struck by a particular favorite, but at the end of the day, I’m there to make the car look at good as possible. But there are favorites. I’m sure you have them. A…
