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

 

My understanding these cars are really heavy and the non-turbo models we're dogs, correct me if I'm wrong. If this is true, you shouldn't have a problem.

 

You're toast dude

 

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.

 

you will destroy a dohc and a sohc would be train lengths back

dohc autos are low to mid 16's at-least the one i rode in was

 

I wouldn't sweat this one.

 

get a video camera i want to see this race

 

you will win, those n/a 3000gt's arent that quick, the all wheel drive turbos are another story.....

 

This race is going to be a joke and its also going to show that 3000gt owner he has no clue what he is talking about.

 

give him some bus lengths because thats the only way he will have a chance.


the vr4s run low 14 to high 13s

 

well i am going to race him tonight and we are going from a stop. i will post up what happends tommorow

 

He's stupid and his car is slow. Non-turbo = waste of space.

 

Damn I wish I could see this one

 

I tried keeping up to a VR4 on the highway one day.....yeah think you guys know what happened there.

 

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!

 

just got done racing him and smoked him,I blew him up off the line. he tried to launch the car at like 5000 rpm's and he just spun the wheels through first. i got him by about 2 car lenghts. but now his buddy wats to race in his 300zx and it is non turbo also. should i go for this race also?

 

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...

 

Only beat him by two car lengths? I was thinking it would be more like 12-14 in a 1/4 race.

 

well this was the first time i raced on the street so i spun pretty bad off the line and i desided to let off sooner because i was still pulling him i could have pulled probly 2 more car lenghts just to embrasses him but i didnt feel like it

 

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.

 

lol @ stu

 

Settle down now

 

my friend has a non-turbo 3000gt with intake/exaust. he ran a consistant high 15's

 

That sounds about right. I knew a kid that had the non turbo gt as well. I believe he ran a 15.5.

 

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.

 

the 300zx cant race he blew his head gasket while racing a 2000 camaro SS and right now the car is in pieces right now and i heard from some kids at school he also has a waorn out clutch and has a cracked flywheel so looks like i wont be able to race him for a while

 

see man you already have the race he was scared. Dont let these small talk kids try to tell you they can beat you. Good job man!!!!your fellow thirdgen friend!!!

 

as far as 3000GT's go I raced a Dodge Stealth a week ago (basically the same car)and stomped him by 3 cars.So if my "lowly" L03 can stomp one that tells you something.

 

Make sure you post what happens.

 

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...

 

VR-4's don't have All Wheel Steering. Only the Stealths have that.

 

They totally do... look into it! http://www.cjbyron.com/3000gtspecifications.htm

The Stealth was just a rebadged 3000GT.

 

Wrong. There are several difference between the two cars. That page you linked is just some random guys page. Not a credible source at all.

 

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

 

I'll find out tonight for you. I don't think you realize just who you're talking to.

 

suuuure. I'm sure you know everything about these cars.

 

You dont know who you messin with.

 

OH DAMN HERE IT COMES!!!!

 

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).

Now email these sellers and tell them they don't have AWS:

This thread should get the The race is over and done with

 

You're right, sorry for the off topic. I've proved my point. Carry on!

 

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.

 

Turns out I had it backwards. Only the first generation Stealth TT's had All Wheel Steering, where as ALL generations of VR4's came equiped with it.

 

Whatever man, it's cool, I jsut knew I was right!

So do you do a lot of DSM's? I have NO experience there... but I've always wanted to check them out!

 

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

 

u got him bro. for sure. my friend has a vr-4 and i have an 88 iroc with just a 305 and a few mods an ill get him inna quarter mile all day. 80-120 or higher is another story tho. lol. the vr-4's top speed is unreal

 

haha ^ this is almost a 4year old thread dude
