Mitsubishi GTO Cars

How to Choose the Right Mitsubishi GTO

The Mitsubishi GTO was manufactured between 1990 and 2000. It is an all-wheel drive, two-door sports car run by a front-compartment engine that was marketed in most of the world as the Mitsubishi 3000GT in order to avoid confusion with other vehicles that made use of the GTO moniker over the years. In North America, the model was produced as a captive import for Chrysler, branded as the Dodge Stealth for model years 1991 to 1996.

There are few different possible engines that would have been installed by the manufacturer depending of the specific model year and make. All of the cars were equipped with the 181.4 cubic inch 6G72 V6, and they varied based on whether they had single- or dual-overhead cams, turbos, and the number of valves.
