Hmmmm 3.5yr old thread...I'm going to go out on a limb and say this race probably happened or at the very least it's at the end of the planning stage.

Damn NJ people can't read.

 

hahaha i dont care. my friends gt is the only car in my town thats fun to race an hes not a a**hole about it. i just wanted to tell someone that the 3000 gt arent as fast as everyone thinks they are based on what ive experienced. even the vr-4. at least inna a quarter mile they arent. thats just my 2 cents tho. lol

 

lol... uh... the 94-96 3000GT VR4 twin turbo puts down 321hp/315lb-ft factory. The car weighs around 3700lbs...

Maybe the non turbo (221hp/204lb-ft) would lose to a 5.7 Iroc with some mods... but no way you'd ever beat a VR4, sorry.

Just a few performance specs on a stock VR4:

0 - 60 mph : 5.4 seconds
0 - 100 mph : 13.6 seconds
Lateral acceleration on 200' skidpad = .90g
1/4 mile - 13.7 mph
Capable of 160 mph in 6th gear
Engine redline - 7,000 rpm
Drag coefficient - .33 Cd

i knew someone would say that.....now, i don't know if he just a bad driver or what but i promise you ill beat him 0-80 if not 90. promise. but your totally right with the stats and i thought id lose too but that just wasn't the case. ill video tape it next time we race cause i know nobody believes me. haha

 

Go for it! I'm not knocking 3rd gens, I've owned 3, just saying that not ALL imports are all noise with nothing to back it up!
