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." .^© http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/kzz99a00/pdf
