3000GT

Liked them more pre-facelift. Great cars, but not that great. Read a lot about them being a nightmare to own.
To the enthusiast, it is a great car. Perhaps not the best, but. This is where opinions come in..

MotorWeek RetroReviews had a very fast quarter mile on a VR-4...
 
Even in NA form, the 3000GT was a nightmare to work on. For those that have never done a timing belt job on a DOHC Mitsu V6, believe me when I say that they're a PAIN. In TT form, they go from hair-pulling to downright traumatizing. Not to mention the AWD, the 4WS, etc.

A good modern day equivalent would be the rare-as-hens-teeth 4rd gen Acura TL with the 6-speed manual and SH-AWD. The clutch replacement calls for something like 15 hours of labor.... insane for something FWD that should be relatively simple.
