89 Iroc Vs 94 3000gt
This one kid at my school is talking s*** about how his stock 3000gt non turbo will smoke me. i have a 350 tpi with a 2.5 inch flowmasters, catco high flo cat, 24lb injectors, slp runners gutted air box k&n air filters. I know that those 3000gt are fast and i just wanna kno if i have a chance before i race him

go from a stop and you should get it. N/A they're pretty slow.
Watch out for the VR-4s though!!

i raced teh turbo version from a roll before i got the converter in and with original 2.77 gears. it was about dead even with him maybe starting to creep on me once i topped out 2nd gear and it wouldnt shift into 3rd
i'd race this kid for cash... as n/a, they will get RUINED by a decent running L98

You should beat him easily. Do you have any track times for us? If not id say your in the 14.4-14.6 range. His car is a high 15 low 16 second car. So you should not have any problems.

I've already race a non-turbo 3000gt when my car had a 305 TPI I killed it easy. You should have no problem and by all means bet some money!

What year 300zx, the mid 90s model? They've got 222hp I think it was stock, about like the 3000gt DOHC has, but lighter I believe.
Why'd you only beat the 3000gt by 2 cars, what speed did yall race to?
I would think you'd beat the 300zx but if the 3000gt race was close...

How many freaking times do I have to go over this? Do we need to make this a damn sticky?
Golden Rule:
If a car comes from the factory with an option of a turbocharger, but the one you are racing does not have that option, then it ****ing sucks. Yes you can race it.

When are you racing the 300zx? We would like to know how this one goes to? I wanna race a 3000gt, sounds like fun, ive always thought they were faster but i guess that they are not all they are made out to be. Good job winning, i think if you didnt STU would have killed you.

Yah, those VR4's are crazy! All wheel drive, all wheel steering, twin turbo! I wanted one... but I guess the xfer cases break and are hella expensive to replace.
As for non turbo ones...

Right, I almost bought one and I am a member on http://www.3si.org/, and I have done much research.
When you do the same, then talk to me about these cars

The Stealth is the American cousin to the 3000gt. THe 3000gt was imported by the Chrysler Corp. and repackaged under the Stealth name. They differ only cosmetically, (and a few options such as Active Aero for the Mitsus) The power ratings are the same for all the corresponding models (ES/Base, RT/SL, RTTT/VR4).

I knew as soon as I said that line about not knowing who you were talking to that I'd be wrong. **Although I haven't checked yet**
I'm very aware of what a DSM is, thanks though.

Nope, never had one. I'm a mod on www.highaltitudeimports.com and a few people have had or have DSMs. My source is my buddy with ten of them at his house. I asked him for a source (just in case you called me out) and he said, "I've got a '95 Stealth TT in my garage right now, need the chasis code?" He's got like 7 Stealth TT/VR4's and three other DSMs in his garage/driveway. His neighbors hate him. heh
