well here it is the 1997 3000 gt vr4 twin turbocharged corvette killer super car. im the second adult owner of this car that sold for 46,613.00 in 1997. i have the oem window sticker and a lot of other paper work you may be interested in if you buy this car.this car was never smoked in and the interior is 99% , and the back seat has almost never been used. the engine was freshened up less than 600 miles ago with new rings, main bearings, rod bearings,water pump, timing belt tensioner and pulleys and the new style hyd. lifters, plus all gaskets and fluids. there is a factory spare and a full size oem wheel spare with new regular size tire in the back. neither tire has ever been on the ground. im a 35 plus year master mechanic and nothing is mechanically wrong at all with this car. i have larger fuel injectors and stainless steel exhaust manifolds that are still in the boxes that will go with the car. the only upgrades done to the car are slotted and drilled brake rotors with heavy duty bake pads, otherwise its totally stock but very fast.this car is all wheel drive all the time with 4 wheel steering. it corners and handles like its on rails. ive had the car going on 5 years but have new interest now. i have put on less than 3000 miles since owned. the engine was freshened up because of the known valve ticks they have and my desire for it to be perfect. it was not blown up or did it spin a bearing. i still have old bearings id be glad to show you. the only thing this car needs to be 100% is a new paint job and some minor dings repaired. its all cosmetic. ill tried to get this in the pictures ive taken but it still hard to see it all. you could drive it as is and not worry or repaint it and make it as new. this car is getting very hard to find low milage not beat up or abused.it will be a collectors car in the near future. i will have a fair reserve set and if not sold for that price i will get repainted myself and relist at latter date. feel free to call and ask questions or ask here and ill get back asap. but calling would be better and faster, but no texts will be answered or given. pictures will be coming soon. i reserve the right to sell (here) before listing may be done. payment must be in cash or cashiers check on local bank only. must be paid for and picked up with in 4 days of sell unless agreed or oked by me. you will have to pickup will not ship or deliver. thanks for looking 719-651-1935

2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV coming in March
Fri, Feb 20 2015For the next incarnation of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric vehicle, the Japanese automaker is looking to give a bit more for the sake of selling a few more. It's a simple concept for a pretty simple car. The re-trial run starts next month. The EV's 2016 model-year version will go on sale in the US in March, Inside EVs says. On the face of it, not a lot will change with the four-seater. The car will still deliver 66 horsepower and will still provide a single-charge range of 62 miles. When reached by AutoblogGreen, Mitsubishi confirmed these numbers as well as its MSRP of $22,995, same as the 2014 model (there was no 2015 model-year version). That's the cost before the $7,500 federal tax break kicks in. Still, there is news. The 2016 version will have an optional navigation package that will include a seven-inch touchscreen display as well as real-time traffic data and 3D mapping. Folks can also pay a little more for touches such as a Bluetooth hands-free phone system, rear-view camera and USB port, according to Mitsubishi. The company hopes these changes will spur near-dormant sales of the model, which made its US debut in 2011. Last year, Mitsubishi sold just 196 units of the i, down from 1,029 in 2013.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
Mitsubishi Pajero successor still years away, but plug-in hybrid tech likely
Sun, 10 Mar 2013You might not know it from looking at today's Mitsubishi showrooms, but the struggling Japanese automaker has a pretty enviable reputation for producing robust off-roaders. Its Pajero SUV built a solid reputation worldwide on the back of its durability in harsh climates, earning it consideration alongside the likes of venerable explorers like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover Range Rover. Unfortunately, the Pajero eventually succumbed to one particularly harsh climate - the North American truck market. After enjoying a long run, Mitsubishi finally pulled the plug on the SUV's Montero twin after the 2006 model year. Blame evolving consumer tastes, low brand visibility, a lackluster marketing budget, or the need for updated product - in fact, go ahead and blame all of the above.
Despite its age, the current fourth-generation Pajero (itself arguably an extensive rework of the previous model) has been carrying a lot of water for the brand in other parts of the world since its debut in 2006. So it's pretty well time for a new one. Problem is, its replacement is still a ways off. That's according to Australia's Go Auto, which has learned that the next-generation Pajero could still be three years away, if not longer.
According to Go Auto, the next model will be a much-changed beast, with design targets including a major weight loss and increased efficiency to go along with more luxurious appointments. In order to make gains in fuel economy, the plug-in hybrid technology that the company has already introduced for its new Outlander crossover will likely be a part of the SUV's development program.
