That would be because of the AWS system. Someone who has had a good ammount of time racing one would be insanely good at handling

The 3000gt is a pretty good car. If done right it is one of the better looking cars there is because there is not alot of them around. I would say keep that car because it is hard to find a newer model 3000gt.

The all wheel steering system only kicks after 60 mph I believe.

The reason they don't handle as well as the evo is due tot he fact that the evo is almost 800 lbs lighter. They are nice cars and if it was anything below a 99 with higher miles than yours I'd trade it in for anything, but 99's with low miles are going to be worth more than gold in the future.

If you want you can sell it to me

stealths are for people who can't afford real 3000gt's. IMO

Or for people whom know its the exact same engine inside or the vr4 and want it to save money and use the rest of the money for modding. Anyways I don't understand how this car is going to be worth any money. I think an Evo is much more desiring than this.

40k mile limited production VR4 not worth anything? I personally know a couple people that would pay way more than a comparable supra for a clean 99 VR4 with low miles.

Whom in there right mind would pick a VR4 over a Supra?
Supra's are legendary unlike VR4's I guarantee you if you ask this question around to anyone who know's a thing or two about cars 90% + of the people would pick the Supra, and they would be willing to pay more for it too.
