alright there is definately a lot of opinions being thrown around here and in no way is the 3000gt vr4 superior to any other jap car.
4wd? yes it does have that but so does the evoVII and the wrx sure they are boosted 4bangers but the definately post better numbers. last time i had checked the aftermarket availability for both the evoVII and the wrx abounds in comparison to the vr4 even though both of the others are more recent productions allowing less time for aftermarket companies development.
6 cylinder with forced induction? yes it does have that but is in no way the top of its class. supras and 300zx's ran on the same price as the vr4 but they were rwd but when theres 300-400lbs to consider one would think that the weight would matter much more especially when the aftermarket products for both 300zx's and supras are much more available.
if you want to talk about the skyline being better... your talking about apples and oranges. the skyline is around double the price and i doubt many people in the states have seen more than 3 in their lives. since i do not feel like writing a novel tonight i will not list its wonders in the tuners relm.
if you really want bang for buck get a 350z or a wrx. both run low 14s stock, do wonders on the skidpad, and if you do your shopping will cost you a little under 30g(how much can you get a vr4 with decent miles for?)
the vr4 was probably the worst japanese sports car for the money since the 90s(with exception the the 300zx 2+2 and all naturally aspirated versions of the previous cars i had mentioned which arent true sports cars). i honestly could not think of one that posted worse numbers stock and tuned. i dont know about anybody else in here but ive seen the sub 11second supras, wrx's, 300zx's, mr2's, even the sub 12second civics,accords,eclipses, and celicas but i have never seen a vr4 break 13s.
if you have the time slips i will gladly accept correction. dont think i am completely about the 1320 either i firmly believe in a well balanced car and that the 1/4mile is only the beginning of a real race. to put that the simplest: the vr4 does the worst on the skid pad out of ever car i have mentioned so far. to all of you who just throw up you biased opinions, you should keep your mouth shut since you dont know what your talking about.
to all those i have offended: my deepest appologizes |
