I’ll never forget racing this car at a motor speedway in around 1997 and thinking to myself I would smoke him. When the race ended I in fact did not smoke him and he ran a high 11 in the quarter mile and I was in disbelief. I went over to the guy and opened up the passenger door to ask him what his mods were and it was a younger skinny kid no older than 18 or 19 and he had wires hanging out of his dashboard and a laptop computer as thick as a phone book sitting on his passenger seat. He told me the car was bone stock and that he just remapped the fuel system somehow turned up the boost. That was the moment I realized we didn’t need 8 cylinders to go fast anymore. It was also the last time I ever saw a Gallant VR4 until now.

A few corrections/explanations: It wasn't a feature of radios. It was a features of amplifiers (sure, in a car, those functions are combined, but the loudness contour has nothing to do with the tuner section). "Enhance" means nothing. It increases the bass and treble for when listening at lower levels as our hearing is less sensitive to these frequency ranges at lower levels. As levels get louder, our hearing becomes more sensitive to these frequencies, so if you leave the loudness contour switch on, it tends to sound bad, especially the lower frequencies, which will sound muddy. The reason turning this switch on makes things sound louder is because it is in-fact boosting certain frequency ranges of the sound. See "equal-loudness contour" and "loudness compensation" for more information.

I had multiple DSMs, but I kept my 1990 Eclipse GSX stock and only increased the boost from the stock around 10 psi to 14PSI. That increase alone made it feel much funner. I've also modded my 1997 Talon TSI AWD a lot, and when I had just a turbo back exhaust, boost at 17psi and simple fuel management, I could run 13.6 1/4 mile all day long with no reliability problems. Once I got into the lows, 12s and 11s engine was reliable, but the transmissions started to have problems. I mostly kept breaking center differentials. Most people who blow their engine just cranked up the boost without monitoring their knock level. At least I knew many that did it that way.

The "LOUD" button stands for "Loudness". It's function is to boost the high and low frequencies at lower volume settings so music sounds richer at lower volume settings, as the human ear has a hard time perceiving bass and treble frequencies at low volumes. When you raise the volume to moderate to high levels, the toggling of the loudness button would not be perceived. (Audio engineer here)

A 348 doing 0-60 mph in the mid-to-high 4s? Forget about that, rather make it mid-to-high 5s. In those days, below 5 was something for the truly elite, like the F40 or 959. As for the "loud"-button, that's probably for "loudness", which isn't really about the volume but a system to boost certain frequencies to make the sound to be percieved louder than it actually is. Standard fare on most audio equipment in the 80s and 90s.

Wasn’t the coolest to girls but word always was that it was the fastest in the school parking lot, which as a 13.0-12.99 sec car in 2006, it was. From then on I went on to own just about every 4g63 powered Mitsubishi from then, lost count in the 30’s. From colts, mirages, talons, eclipse’s, lasers, and finally a real lancer evo 3 before getting out of them. Those cars taught me mechanics, and will forever have a special place in my heart.

The "Loud" button is a setting called Loudness. This doesn't make things louder, at least not directly. Loudness features boost the high and low frequencies and are intended to produce richer sound at low volumes. Our ears are naturally tuned for human voices, which reside in the frequency range that we call midrange. Because of this, and the way out brain automatically boosts those frequencies when processing the signals, by scooping out the midrange in relation to the other frequencies the sound will appear better balanced at low volumes. These settings where pretty common across most consumer audio gear and even some TV's. You can still find this feature on many pieces of audio equipment.

It's fascinating that so many young folks know exactly what she is, even though few remain and she is now nearly twice their age. While I'm the second owner, I purchased it from a doctor in 1992, so I feel like it has been with me since her beginning. I've owned 12 other vehicles from Rustangs, to Lexus to Jaguars since then, and while they come and go, my unmolested Galant remains.

Hi Doug! Amazing video as always, but just wanted to point out that on vintage stereo equipment you will sometimes see a “loudness” or “loud” button or switch. This is because if you were listening to a powerful stereo setup at low volume (such as night time listening) you would lose some fidelity in the music. The loudness button is to send extra power to the head unit in order to retain the reactivity and effectiveness of the speakers at higher wattage, but with a lower volume as to not disturb the sleeping rally kids in the back. Keep up the great work!

All the GVR4s had color-matched wheels for both model years in the US. You couldn't get silver wheels on any of them. In 1992, the "Kensington Grey" color was added and of course those wheels were also painted grey in the center.

I was working for a Mitsubishi dealer in St. Louis when the Galant VR4 and 3000 GT VR4 came out. As myself, the service manager and a few others were racers and/or enthusiasts and we could not wait for them to arrive! Our dealership received one 3000 GT VR4 in red with black interior and it went right on the showroom floor as it had been pre-sold but was displayed for at least a month before delivery. I did get to test drive it before delivery as the final OK and holy moly it was FAST. The dealership received a white and green Galant VR4's and those were equally cool to me, but then I have always liked practical but outrageous cars. I seem to recall Eclipse GSX's (I think that's correct), the 4wd version were far more popular and available. My racing partner and I bought an Eclipse GS to race in SCCA SSA competition and it was a very impressive race car, once cheated up enough to make it go! :)

the amount of interior features this car has for 1991 is so cool, cant imagine having one of these back when they were new
@RDEnduro I had a 323GTX for several years, buying a 1988 model in 1995 as my first car. I loved that little rally car, but it was terribly expensive to maintain.

The LOUD button does not simply turn up the volume. It ups the bass eq, which is needed to compensate for road noise - not that that matters on the old home stereo - but that's what it does.

I love that you can see the blanks in the gauge cluster for where the automatic transmission indicator would go. That’s so weird. I love it.

Hi, UK viewer here. There was one of these in my hometown, I always knew what it was as my Dad worked for Mitsubishi, however the VR-4 of this era was never imported into the UK so this particular car was incredibly rare. We received the N/A 2.0 GTI, which I believe still had the 4WS.

My mom had one of these in the exact same color. #711. I passed my driver's license test in that car. Thanks for the nostalgia!

Hi Doug thanks for reviewing one of these. I was fortunate to spend the day with one of these back in the 90’s in Australia when I worked in the printing industry. The thing that really surprised me then for a sporty car was the ride comfort was extremely good on crappy Australian roads. It would give many small cars with their huge and unnecessary tyre and wheel combos today a run for their money that is for sure. I drive a Lexus Coupe now and it is definitely not in that sort of class but for a mod so Mitsubishi Sedan it was pretty outstanding. I have always had a bit of a soft spot for the Gallants in general. Just never been a fan of the Evo. I was also a big fan of the carpeted lower door interior trim that you rarely see today on most cars.

Brought one in Darwin Australia 2nd hand in about 2008ish , loved it , went like a cut cat , loved it for about 12 months and sold it , Like all these they were max'd out with 208 hp by law . Sad that day it was gone , but , soon after I got me a 2002 BA Australian Ford Falcon , Barra 6 TURBO with 5 real gears ! Look out for a BA TURBO in the USA , Doug , it would be a winner of a video , like this one . Thanks for the memory mate ..

Hi from Oz Doug. My brother in law had two of those Down Under. The first one was a white stocker, meaning in Oz rear wheel steer, power windows etc. From memory they had about 140kw, and it was pretty quick for its day. The second one he had was an RS, which was quite a special car. The RS was the homologation special for rallying. It was lighter, with a close ratio gearbox and front and rear LSD's. The engine was developed with help from AMG, which was actually on the rocker covers. Again from memory I think this model had about 180kw and it was an absolute weapon. He bought it from a car dealer but it was personally imported by the then CEO of Mitsubishi Australia as a toy.

The button labeled LOUD is for Loudness control, an older-style equalization preset that boosts low and high frequencies, good for listening at low volumes or under high ambient noise. It doesn't turn up the volume louder.

How cool is this! I had a regular Galant sedan in the 90s and while it wasn’t a performance car it was a fun car to drive. It was a great road trip car and I’d take out the passenger seat and rear seat to load it up when I’d move in college. Mitsubishi made some pretty decent stuff back in the day. Great video!

Drove my neighbor's VR-4 Galant back in the early 90s. Fast car back then. Was already a rally fan, so I totally got it. Grateful to have driven such a rare car. I think his was number 200 and change. He was stoked I knew what it was when he bought it.

The Galant VR-4 is a very underrated hidden gem of Sports Sedan cars. I remember using this Galant on Gran Turismo 2.

re: "LOUD" button: You always gaff up the "loudness" button. What it does is it applies an EQ curve which slightly increases treble and significantly increases deep bass, to balance out the sound at lower volumes since speakers tend to be most efficient in the midrange so the highs and lows roll off a bit at lower volumes. re: Seatbelt cubbies and cutouts: This isn't so they don't "get lost" but so that the seat belts don't make indentations in the leather (or vinyl. Ick.) when you fold down the seats. Cars with cloth seats tend to omit these details.

I had the '89 "2000 GTi-16V Dynamic 4" which was basically a naturally-aspirated spec of VR-4 for Europe. It had all the stuff, the 4 wheel steering, 4 wheel drive, the 4G63 engine, just without a turbo. God I miss that car. Owned it 2012-2018, sold it for 4x times I paid for it and still felt I was robbed.

A buddy of mine had this identical spec VR4 in high school back in the early to mid 90’s. We would smoke all the mustangs and Camaros that were in my lil hometown in it back then. I can still remember the looks on their faces when it launched away from the red light and left them wondering what just happened lol!! He traded it after we graduated for a brand new Eagle Talon turbo which was even faster than the VR4. I’d love to have this ol car now.👌🏽🔥🔥

This is the exact kind of car that highlights so many things about me and Doug. I don't watch his videos because I would ever have an interest in a car like this - I have none. I just love watching Doug get excited about something I don't really understand. It's so cool seeing someone else have a passion for something at the level Doug likes quirks and features.

Far more interesting than an expensive supercar most people could never afford.
