Default 3000GT Vr-4

I think the best Japanese Sports car is the 3000GT Vr-4. I mean it has the most technology, speed, handling, or looks than any other jap car in its class. I'd take a 3000GT modified to lets say 500hp than ANY other jap car modded to 500hp. Including: Supra, Skyline, NSX, WRX sti, Lancer...anything. The 3000GT has a automatic spoiler feature where it rises to gain more downforce with speeds over 65 mph. It also has a front air dam that goes down as well. The exhaust and suspension can be manually tuned also. The 3000GT Vr-4 had All-wheel-Drive just like the Porsche Turbo. One advantage it had over any other car was the All-Wheel-Turning Feature. The Back wheels turned the opposite way of the front to have an exceptional turning ability in tight corners. Anyone Disagree Please Say Something, No Jap car is better, no questions asked. Mitsubishi needs to bring back the 3000GT Vr-4. [/b]

What are you talking about? The Nissan 300ZX is the BEST Japanese Supercar!

seems to me that VR-4 had AWD, 4wheel steer, and twin turbos just like 300ZX, it also seems to me it had 20 more horsepower, and quite a few features 300ZX didn't, it posted slalom and skidpad, as well as acceleration number generally as good or better than 300ZX, and seated four with luxury appointment. What is not cool about that.

Skyline or NSX (well, probably NSX) is the ultimate japanese supercar.

The 300ZX didnt even have AWD or allwheelsteering, it just had twinturbos. And it dosent look as good as the VR-4.

300ZX did have "Super-Hicas" all wheel steering. There were a few with all wheel drive (but nowhere near like all of the VR-4s)

i disagree with the vr-4 being the best jap car. its really heavy. i think that definetly the best is the skyline gtr. granted thats heavy too, but still, i dont know of many 1000hp vr-4s.

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

- like older preludes? and let me guess that weighs nothing at all either? why did preludes stop having it? and why dont formula cars have it?

- since they didnt develope the technology to make the front wheels turn enough? or just so that it feels like its tighter?
