    The hump was for the DOHC.

    Just like the 3000gt’s humps were for the active shock connectors.

    The engines were crammed in there so they had to make some design decisions to get it all to fit.

      My dream car is still a 3000GT VR-4 twin turbo.

      I have no idea how to work on cars so I’ll never have it. But that 50,000 pound tiny beast is so beautiful.

        I had one and when it ran, it was great. Went through 3 used engines and only ran well after I went through and tested/replaced every sensor and component. Lots of fun but not something for a person without a workshop.

          ALL WHEEL STEERING?!

          Did you have the twin turbo model? I’ve known two people who had the non-twin turbo models and they LOVED them, but both of them required soooooo much work.

          So small! So down-low-to-the-ground! So heavy! So sexy!
