Driveability after TT mods..
Hello all..
I currently own a highly modded 500+hp Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, and am considering getting out of the platform and into G coupe.. Pretty much no other choice, right?
My question is this: I love HP. Crave it. But I am totally over owning a modded out car.. the tinkering, the tuning, the watching of the A/F making sure the motor doesn't go boom everytime the ambient air temp changes..
I am wanting a TT kit, but want to retain as much stock driveability and comfort as possible. Any such luck?
Someone on here that has lightly modded, what is your reaction as far as sound/comfort/driveability changes post-TT kit?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Well I suppose I can relate to your issue as I was in your situation and still am. I own a modified 3000gt VR4 also and a TT G35 and the difference is pretty large, with the VR4 your right you have to watch all the gauges and make sure that nothing is out of the ordinary, also the integrity of the vehicle changes drastically due to the way the VR4 is built (not the most reliable engine in the world even when going forged), that said the awd is a wonderful thing 
Now with the APS TT and built engine in the G which I have, I can honestly say that I have not worried about anything since day one, I had it boosted about 1 month after I got it with the Vortech for over 41,000 miles then went TT for the last 6 months. Even with no gauges in the car
I do not worry about a thing ( still looking for a custom place to install the gauges)
I drive it everyday to work and back which is 140 miles and it has never broken down, plus I take the wife and kids for drives with no complaints about ride comfort or noise issues.
Your going to love this platform compared to the VR4 but I have a sentimental attachment to mine so I decided to keep both

OOoo, God, don't get rid of the VR4! I think they are soo sexy [especially that last generation]. I remember seeing the 3000GT's when I was bearly in Jr. High and wanted one sooo bad when I turned 16! The VR4's are like a freakin' colt, I never see those cars anywhere and when I do I still feel like I should own one...
I'm not sure where you are from, but depending on the tuner the car can be a beast and be raced on tracks on the weekend, or a "daily drifter" being banged off the revlimiter for a several thousands of miles... I've also known people to blow the engine in the 1st night... I don't think you'll get 500whp+ on a stock engine [I think around 400-450 is max], but with the turbo kits out there you can hit it easily with a biult engine.
I'm supercharged, so I can't really help you out much... but she doesn't like to go under 30mph... ****, or 70, lol

Mine has 504awhp and 500trq, managed 11.618 in the 1/4. It just seems to attract to much attention though, I have been stopped 4 times last year for nothing, they just say things like you did not do a full stop at the sign which I fought and won and other silly things.
Your right though, there is not many left that I see around my area too.
