they made 2000 VR-4's in 1991 and 1000 in 1992.
It basically a 4 dr. eclipse gsx
turbo allwheel drive...
My brother in law owns a mitsubishi performance shop..i actually work there...and he runs a VR-4 ran 13's with a boost controller, exhaust and an open intake. He just rebuilt the motor with a 2.4 L block and should be pushin between 400 and 500 hp. It should be the fastest VR-4 by the end of the summer. Its an amazin car. definitely one of the best sleepers made. and for 3800 in the condition you say it is in is a good price, if its an actual jet black then it was either painted or not a vr-4. they only came in white, green and a dark charcoal grey.
i think he might have some info up on his page
