Got whupped.
 
I was cruising along and I spotted an import, a 3000gt i believe with twin-fart cans. I was just messing around with him a little bit, trying to get a feel for how fast it might be. He was behind me and I saw him swing wide as he went to pass me. I stomped on it, of course, but he blew right by me without a problem. I asked him what he was running and he said it was the 3.0 with a turbo. It was a pretty quick car, the fastest one Ive messed around with yet. I have a GMPP 350 HO, rebuild 700r4 with shift kit, headers w/3in exhaust, and 3.23 gears, and the car moves pretty decent. Just goes to show that there is always someone faster!

the Vr4's are nothing to joke around with i belive they come wit like 320 hp or somthing stock but the non turbo versions are slow as hell ive seen videos of vr 4's givin ls1's trouble

Sporkinator 03-31-2005 04:46 PM

We were both at about 55mph when we were messing around, I imagine if we both went from a stop, I would have pulled away, and then he would proceed to show me his license plate and tail lights. :p I havnt taken my car to the track yet, but I imagine Im running somewhere between mid to low 13's. Honestly dont know for sure. My car is much faster then the rest of my friends 3rd gens, a few mustangs around town, etc.

PhAnToMs 03-31-2005 05:28 PM

ya they are fast like low 14's high 13s stock depending on year

what mods you got done cause stock your like 15flat

z28z34man 03-31-2005 06:05 PM

The 3kgt are great off the line because they are all wheel drive there decent in second dogs in third.

Race them from a slow role like 5-10 mph they don’t have boost yet and you don’t have traction issues.

It doesn't take much to get started at 5-10 mph, especially with the tiny *** turbos they come stock with. Now a single turbo Supra would be a different story all together.

it takes alot to launch them things, the AWD system sucks alot of power out of that motor

i ran a tt stealth and was dead even with him.. looked like an earlier version

deffinately nice cars

I went to the track with some of my friends with Talons, one ended up racing a 2000 SS, kid said it was a police package, anyway, the Talon spanked it, Some of those ricers are mean, just have to know whats done to it, but he was running 11's

z28z34man 04-01-2005 08:58 AM

If my memory is correct my friends 92 vr4 doesn’t start puling hard till a bought 20 but it has been a good 6 months sense I have ridden in it.

slohand 04-01-2005 11:50 PM

gee, sorry about the loss.

try him again from a stop.

i ran a 3000gt twice the other nite from a roll. when my car hit second i could see the front of his car in my rear view mirror. :D

better luck next time!!

Yeah, up until about 4500-RPM though, then he would fly right by you. Install a HSR, then ask him for a rematch... ;)

Edit: If you're still running the stock TPI system, that is.

phoenix305 04-03-2005 03:10 PM

I doubt it, i bet it would beat you off the line too. with that small of a turbo and all wheel drive. but up top you might have him being that the awd will be sucking up the power right about there.

Sporkinator 04-03-2005 08:26 PM

Im running a GMPP 350 HO motor (as previously stated.) with a beefed 700r4.

Is this in response to me? :lol:

If so, why not edit you're sig then... as it'd be easy to adapt you're stock 305's Tuned Port Injection to you're current "GMPP 350 HO".

i dont want to steal the thread but if he find me on the streat where should i run him from then

PS i dont like to streat race but he wont go to the track

stu 04-06-2005 01:33 PM

I don't know much about that car, and I know less about yours. I could find out for you I guess though.

I would run him off the line. You need to launch those boys pretty high to get a good launch on you. I think if you can get him out of the hole, you got the race.

shawnc16 04-06-2005 10:18 PM

well mike better luck next time....unless you race me next time, then yur in a world of ssshhhh.

shawnc16 04-06-2005 10:21 PM

BTW i seen a gold vette runnin around today and i figured that would be a great for a next kill. He was givin the look cuz we were in margerets mustang. I wanna see him runnin around when the camaros outta the garage in a few weeks!!!:burnout:

Sporkinator 04-07-2005 08:12 PM

What kinda vette was it? C4? C5? And stop pickin' on VW's! One of these days, theyre gonna grow up and be bigger than you!

shawnc16 04-07-2005 09:59 PM

yeah ...hmm good plan a 4X4 beetle with 44s

Doubt that man.

I dont. My car origianlly ran low 14s before the engine was pulled. Mikes car is much faster pulls a lot harder and it still hooks up somehow. I give it a seal of approval. That thing screams.

Well mike i guess u need to prove it now! take er out to the track when she opens in a few weeks.
