I think the one on the right is a porsche carrera gt, but i still dont know the one on the left

UNKNOWN_370 11-04-2014 11:38 PM

The one on the left is a modified Mitsubishi 3000gt, likely the VR4 model.
The one on the right looks like a modified Toyota MR2, I believe?

Zoren 370 11-05-2014 04:47 AM

More like a toyota Supra the right one?

BC416 11-05-2014 09:25 AM

Carrera GT on the right. Either Mitsu. 3000GT or Dodge Stealth on the left.

JARblue 11-05-2014 12:13 PM

I don't think there's any question that the one on the right is a Carrera GT.

The one of the left is a little more difficult, but I'm pretty sure it's a Dodge Stealth with a widebody kit.

Definitely a converted MR2 and a Stealth/3000GT.

I thought it was a Carrera GT, but if you've ever seen one in person, you know it's a LOOOOOOOOOOONG car. And the one the OP posted isn't that long really, so I doubt it's an authentic GT

Truth. I think you're right, but the photos are from weird angles and perspective can be incredibly difficult to judge in some photos. I just couldn't find a modified MR2 that looked remotely close. I mean the headlight, front bumper, doors, rear fender, side mirrors... they are all exactly the same as the Carrera photo I posted (basically everything except the roof scoop). I've seen MR2 with similar door and rear fenders and lines in general... but not exactly the same. Of course, that's not to say it hasn't been done.

Pix For > Custom Toyota Mr2 Spyder

I found this modded MR2 and the headlights are slightly different but the side is near exact. Those may be modified headlights to fit that extreme body kit.

This MR2 one looks pretty spot on, including the headlights (side is similar but not exact), but I still don't think the one in OP is an MR2. The key difference I can see is the hood line. Notice that with even the highly modified MR2, the hood line still runs straight across the hood and along the inside of the head lights. However, in the Carrera this space is just storage, so the "hood" doesn't extend all the way to the headlights and is a different size and shape.

BC416 11-05-2014 01:31 PM

Yup, after looking at the one on the right more - it isn't nearly as long enough in the rear to be a Carrera GT. MR2 conversion like others have said is most likely.

JARblue 11-05-2014 01:44 PM

If it is indeed an MR2, that's some serious front fender and hood work to get that hood line.

JARblue 11-05-2014 04:49 PM

I'm still not convinced. While it looks like that blue MR2 tried to recreate the Carrera hood lines, you can still see the obvious horizontal line go all the way across the hood from headlight to headlight in addition to the line from the back of the headlight to the windshield on top of the front fender hump. You just don't see anything like that on the Carrera GT or the red car in the OP. Like I said, if it is indeed an MR2 it was some serious body work to alter those lines.

100% it's an MR2

Eclipz 11-05-2014 06:31 PM

wow, from the front it is very deceptive, but it's blatantly obvious its not a GT from the side. nice find!

Mike 11-05-2014 07:14 PM

mitsubishi FTO? Non US car, but I saw them quite often in Aruba of all places.

Closest - pretty sure it's a non-US spec Mitsubishi GTO. It's a tad longer than the FTO and very closely resembles the USDM 3000GT.

The other is definitely an MR2 made to look like a Porsche.

There's no way that tiny thing is a carrera. It's too short and the bodies lines look too weak.

How could u tell if this car has a body kit if it's a 3000GT or GTO? I can see that better if you were looking at stock vehicles. But both are heavily modded and the GTO is 98% identical to a 3000gt?

That picture was of an MR2; I never said it was a Carrera. I just giving an additional example of the difference in the hood lines between a modified MR2 and the car in the OP.

Pretty sure it has been determined that the OP was a modified MR2. I am still impressed at how the hood and fender lines were made to look like a Carrera (trunk lid) and do not look like the hood lines on all the other modified MR2s I have seen.

mishuko 11-06-2014 11:43 AM

i actually saw a blue MR2 (i am pretty sure it's the same model) in toronto in the summer... it was pretty sweet

. I quoted the wrong post. Lol. Wasn't wearing my reading glasses. :-)

scorp38 11-08-2014 03:21 PM

They are most definitely an mr2 and 3000gt

docaam 11-12-2014 12:27 AM

3000GT/GTO and MR-S/MR-2 Spyder

But it is that extra 2% that makes the difference, sir!

The final gen 3000GT/GTO had a couple small differences. I applied my analytical rice rocket powers to the pictures we had on hand and made the following deductions:

1) The GTO had power folding mirrors, unlike the 3000GT, and there is a substantial gap between the door and the mirror mount, indicating that, while the mirrors may be aftermarket, they would have to mount to a housing that facilitates rotation of the assembly.

2) The GTO also used amber lights in the rear taillight assembly. It is also unlawful in many non-US countries to have taillights that do not have color differentiation between taillight and turn signal.

3) The rear bumper doesn't look aftermarket at all, save for a lower rear diffuser, which could be added to the factory bumper. Either way, the rear bumper has the wider opening for license plates of international origin rather than US-spec.

Now I know what you're thinking - each one of those deductions is thin. But BEHOLD - when their powers combine, and you combine them with the following facts -

1) YattCar (the watermark in each of the photos) originates from Thailand.
2) THERE ARE ASIANS EVERYWHERE IN THE PICTURE

I, sir, can safely conclude that the red car in question is indeed a Mitsubishi GTO.

I rest my case.
