Same . A friend of mine had a friend whose uncle owned a Mitsubishi dealership & he had a cherry red spider. He gave us a ride in that thing and I could have swore we were gonna liftoff lol. He must have had every possible performance upgrade available for it at that time. All the HKS electronics were mounted in the middle console neatly giving it a stock look. Still to this day I've never felt torque like that or went as fast in a car ever. Man what a time for sports cars here in the US. Quite an era

My dad has an ULTRA clean example of a 95 Spyder VR-4 in black he's had for 15 years. Upgraded to around 500HP. It's amazing to drive with the top down and confuses everybody as to what it is being so rare.

This owner is extremely well spoken and a great story teller…great video, car, and love the vr4 vibes

I have a base model ‘97 and even with half the horses of the VR4 it’s still an absolute blast of a car. I don’t think I’ll ever sell it. VR4s exploded in value recently, so I’ll probably never be able to afford one, but it’s one of my dream cars.

One of my fav cars of all time and would love to own a stock VR4. Red for the newer model, that blue green for the original model.

Thank you so much for the review! Hope you enjoyed your time in Dallas and behind the wheel! Until we meet again my friend.

I'm a proud owner of a 95 VR4. I love that thing!

I’ve always appreciated these cars…that’s nuts it went for $65k then! It’s a shame they don’t make a comeback with it to compete against the Mk5 Supra and new Z.

My 94 3000gt vr4 was and always is my favorite car I’ve had and currently own. First year for the six speed and the aftermarket is so elusive and alluring I fall in love every time I drive to work, go for cruises, or just sit in the driver seat in the drive way.

I dont know why he says they are "extremely hard to come by" I see a pristine VR4 with all its working features everyday in my garage! seems common to me ;)

Drove a bone stock one in similar condition, it was the closest thing next to other old cars I’ve had the opportunity to drive when it came to living and experiencing the 90s! I’ve wanted one of these for a long time along with other cars but whoo is it going to be a challenge!

Loved this car when it first came out. Hard top convertible, twin turbo, AWD, AWS in 95 that was a sick car. Very iconic.

Had a 99 gen 1 gsx would occasionally pull my buddies out of the snow banks in Northern lower Michigan loved the all wheel drive great car but I've always wanted the vr4. Great car Great video.

I worked for Mitsubishi at the HQ in Socal back in the 90's. They had issues with the top mechanism and I remember there being a row of at least 50 of these just parked in the storage yard of the HQ, which were all buybacks. Even with the issues, they were amazing cars to drive at the time, pioneering a lot of features that we see as common today. I loved my time working there (and my pick of company cars each year), the company had a great vibe and we were all excited over the lineup. It's sad to see what Mitsubishi has become in the US, it's now a company making mediocre cars for credit challenged people, and not a performance model to be found.
