In contrast to the interior, the exterior
styling of both cars shouts for attention
and certainly sets them apart from anything else on the road. While Mitsubishi
receives full credit for the mechanicals and
interior design. exterior stvling was verv
much a cooperative efTort between Chrvsler's Highland Park International Design
Studio and Mitsubishi's design facility
in Okasaki. The result is two distinct-looking cars with different inspirations-the
Stealth shares certain design elements with
the Intrepid show car (styled at Chrysler s
Pacifica studio in California), and the
3000GT was influenced by Mitsubishi's
HSR-Ir development vehicle.
As limited as our test-drive experience
was at Kitsuregawa. there's no doubt the
newcomers are w'orld-class contenders.
Mitsubishi arranged to have some prime
competitors on hand-Toyota's Supra Turbo, Porsche's 944 Turbo and Nissan's
300ZX Twin Turbo-for back-to-back
comparison drives.
At speeds over 120 mph on the highbanked, bumpy test track. the Autobalmborn-and-bred Porsche felt the most reassuring. Only a bit of steering twitchinass
relegated the 3000GT and Stealth to a
shared second place. The Nissan and Toyota? The ZX had commendable steering
feel but its stiff suspension made it feel a
little skittish over the bumpy sections, and
the Supra's softer springs and shocks allowed it to wallow a touch.
Two other tests devised were a highspeed slalom and standing- start acceleration over a low-friction surface, specifically plastic sheets awash in soap suds. This
last test was no contest; it came as no surprise that the all-wheel-drive 3000GT and
Stealth bested their rear-wheel-drive competitors. Through the slalom, the 3000GT/
Stealth duo lacked the razor-crispness of
the 300ZX's chassis but had commendable
balance and agility; it'll be telling to see
what the production version will do in the
capable hands of our Road Test Editoc
Impressive pieces of work, these cars. But
at what price? Of course, actual figures
haven't been set, but estimates from the
Dodge camp were just less than 530,000:
Mitsubishi representatives hinted at slightly
more than that same tigure. (Both Dodge
and Mitsubishi will otler less expensive.
normally aspirated fwd versions as well.)
"Howcan vou hang all this technology on
the carand still sell it for less than the competition?" queried onejournalist.
"That.` said Ron Kusumi, Mitsubishi's
product marketing and development manager. "is our secret."
