1. Luxury Mistress Says: I just bought a 3000GT and I could've sworn I saw a VR4 emblem on it before I bought it...now its gone but I think the dealership I bought it from pulled the peeling decal off since it was sun damaged and coming off. Maybe I'm dreaming...lol. Anyways, my 3000GT is pearl white, V6, black leather interior, premium sound system and it has the huge moonroof. What other details will tell me what model it is? Thanks for your help! =D
2. Travis S Says: Probably a SL but here's the definitive answer for you: Open the hood and look at the little silver plate riveted to the firewall (roughly in the middle). At the Model line, a VR-4 will say "Z16A" or "Z15A". A SL will say "Z11A". This info plate will tell you how the car was configured when it left the factory

Engine: 6G72 (6 cylinder, Gasoline powered, from Family 7, model #2)
Transaxle (transmission): F5M33 for SL 5-speed, W5M33 or W6M33 for VR-4 manual trans.
Exterior paint code: probably W29 or W85 since you said white
Interior trim color code: This one is so you get the right color of interior parts

If you ever needing a hand finding parts, let me know. I have the parts catalog for every mitsubishi vehicle made since 1981
3. J J Says: If it's AWD it's a VR4. Look for a driveshaft
4. 3000GT of Va Says: I believe it's a sl.. but just check the speedometer, easiest way to find out.. if it tops out at 180mph, its a vr4, if not.. then sl.
