I saw a guy(yes, in person) run 12.97 with NOTHING done to his '99 Z. How's that for paper information? And I do believe they quit making turbo 3000gt's in '97 or '98 can't remember which. In any case, anything can happen on the street, we all know this for a fact. Even at the track for that matter. So go find one, race it with a good driver, and find out...

they made vr4's through 1999.

Pretty sure you could. Those 3000 GT's are fat pigs and the non-turboed models are push overs.

and yet many are pushing low 12's with them
there are even a few pushing the 11.99 or lower border bone stock even down to the tires

hell I remember hearing of a guy with a bone stock ls1 camaro pulling a 12.8

gm doesn't even give a good story as to what the cars are capable of

This is true, I have seen Fbodies go faster then the 13.8 that MT and other car mags test the, at.

What are you talking about? The 160HP 3.0L SOHC-powered SL model doesn't weigh anything near 3700lbs. The SL and standard "3000GT" both weigh in around where a Thirdgen weighs, if not a little less.

SL motor...
3.0L SOHC with 160HP

GT motor...
3.0L DOHC with 222HP

VR-4 motor...
3.0L DOHC twin-turbo with up to 320HP in later models (300HP in early models)

The VR-4 does weigh a lot more, mainly because of the AWD/AWS options. Your 305TBI will get raped by a VR-4, and will have trouble with a standard GT. Might have a chance against the SL though. SL = SLOW

I was looking at buying one of these last year because I think they look awesome. The VR-4s had some cool stuff like a speed-sensitive adjustable spoiler and the AWS. Twin-turbo is cool too of course. Then again, all of this stuff comes at a pretty hefty price, and very expensive repairs...not to mention another 400lbs of weight. Nevertheless, they are very quick cars for weighing 3800lbs and only having 300HP.
