my mate got a '93 3000gt VR-4 yesterday. Quite simply a ing beast. 300 HP (similar torque) TT (spool at 2k, 9lbs to redline stock) 3.0L DOHC with AWD AWS. Holds like 9/10ths of a g in lateral acceleration (i.e. nice handling).It's got 26,000 original (odo reading + carfax to check validity) miles on it, only thing wrong with it is 2nd gear syncro (have to shift into 2nd at 20 till its fixed or grind city...). He paid 11,500 for it. They aren't very cheap cars to maintain (engines typically only last 100k miles and just tends to break on them, but the look on ricers faces is ing priceless.
Previous to riding in this car I had ridden in some fairly fast car's (I drive a junker myself), like an 84 porsche carrera, 00 eclipse GT, mid 15 sec cars basically (still aeons faster than your typical honda/acura rice variety i'm afraid. But this thing is just so insane you have no idea until you've ridden in a 300+ hp car the power band is insane, it feels like it's never gonna stop accelerating. 2nd gear does 20 - 80 in the time you look down at the odo to back at the road it seems. It's truly a fun vehicle to ing ride in ... simply thrilling:eyes: :eyes: :eyes: I want one.. |
I wanted one of those when I first got my license in high school....the whole variable geometry spoilers thing was still "fresh" and I dug all cars with them...esp the VR-4's and the VW Corrados.
But now I just want a car that is reliable and gets good gas mileage.

Ahh i kinda like em, ive heard that here in Australia there is a cop car that is V6 Turbo/Supercharged, but its just for show.. which kinda sux...
They are awesome little cars, n are cool, BMW manufacture's them so u know they are top shelf, hence the little high price range. |

dont like the new mini, its not mini anymore, which kind of defeats the object, and the speedo's in the middle WTF, and it's FWD, which i would never voluntarily go back to. Go for a civic type-r mate, same price range IIRC, and much better performance, handling, looks, etc.
Drove a non-turbo 3000gt once, scared the outta me:D, dont mean to be negative but I read that if the gearbox has problems its big bucks 'cos its all electronic. Great cars though:) |

Mitsubishi and Dodge and another car company had an alliance. stealth and 3kgt are essentially the same car, cept the stealth is ooglier |

Neon SRT is the biggest joke on the market right now, not only its gay it looks even gayer, it reminds me of a crosseyed WRX .... damn wannabes!!
I raced on of those SRT's few weeks back, god damn I raped the bitch!! the funny part is that I thought it would hang for a bit atleast, the box was about 4-5 cars behind right off the bet!
So my conclusion is S H I T B O X ! ! |
