Re: max speed in ur car?

Is anyone suprised at the abundance of wild claims and foundatiownedless arguments considering the source? This isn't the first time. Shit comes out of a bull's ass on a regular basis, don't be suprised when it stinks.

Re: max speed in ur car?

I have been 130 in my 3000gt and then slowed down because honestly it was enough at the time.

And I take noone's side on this but a VR4 can do 165 stock (though geared to go 202 if you reached redline in 6th gear).

i found a formula, which related gear ratios to speeds. (on the aforementioned page)


Speed in gear (MPH) = [RPM x tire diameter in inches] / [final gear ratio x 336]

estimating your car has 19" wheels, and the tyre diameter is 23".

let's say you rev to 7,500rpm. and you say you can do 100mph in second. let's see...

7,500rpm x 23" = 172500.

final gear ratio for second is 6.908 for the 1991-1993 models.

6.908 x 336 = 2321.088

172500 / 2321.088 = 74.31mph.

oh dear, look at that; you've come up 25.69mph short of your claim.
Still think the getrag 6 speed which I have in my car and all second gen 3000gt's up doesn't exhist??? still think that the car in the mag isn't mine??? WTF does 19" Wheels have to do with anything??? you do know that gear ratio's can be changed right??? LOL at you, and once I get a vid of my car I will own all.............

Re: max speed in ur car?

Ok 202 in 6th just isn't going to happen unless you have some crazy mods and insane power. 6th gear is mostly a cruising gear. I get more speed out of 5th than 6th with the camaro. 6th is drag limited to around 135, 5th goes waaaay faster. And we are not doubting the top speed, but what started this was the claim of 100mph in 2nd gear.

I now know alot more about the subject than I cared for, but I just like the fact that a girl knows more about your car than you do.
I wont get into the whole Ralliart issue, because frankly I don't care. However, right there, your 'expert' sounds like the one on crack. vr4s most certainly do not run 24psi stock. Tire pressure maybe, but I can guarentee multiple things will happen WAYYY before you get to 24psi stock.

Even on 94 octane (the highest pump gas I can find around here) your knocking at 15psi and hte ecu is pulling timing like crazy as you destroy your internals. Your injectors will be WAY WAY WAY over 100% and failing miserably at providing anywhere near adequate amounts of fuel. Stock fuel pump wont keep up much longer, even if you had swapped out the injectors. The stock td04-9b turbos can barely hold 10psi to redline. So even if you had the fuel mods to keep up, they would be doing nothing more but blowing a HELL OF ALOT of hot air. Your stock y-pipe will be blown completely off your throttle body at ~15psi, hitting the bottom of your hood with a nice loud thud, and stalling the car. Probably saving you from grenading your engine.

With upgraded injectors, fuel pump, turbos, and a few other supporting mods, you could run 24psi, but certainly not on pump fuel without getting knock counts in the teens at the bare minimum. So I have no idea who your 3000gt 'expert' is, but I certainly wouldn't want her within 200 yards of my vr4. Because NO vr4/rt-tt is doing 24psi stock or on pump gas and making it more than 200 yards before a rebuild.

their website doesn't list ex-production manufacturer-specific gearboxes, so i was wrong and wasn't aware of them supplying a gearbox for mitsubishi to use in the 3000GT. stop trying to draw attention away from the facts and figures.

i know ratios can be changed, i have helped friends change a number of gearbox parts. so what ratios do you have, and what's you rev limiter's max?

if you knew anything about gearing and ratios, you'd know that wheel/tyre size, or more accurately, rolling circumfrence has a lot to do with gearing. the tyre surface is the final gearing, larger wheels give higher top speed and lower acceleration, and vise-versa. what the fuck do they have to do with anything? a lot, actually.

why don't you get a dyno run video'd, and show us the chassis data plates, if it was made by ralliart it would say, and the article says the car featured was made by Steve Millen, not ralliart.

so for a final answer, no. i don't think the car in the mag is yours. i don't think your car can do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. i don't think it can reach the claimed 196mph. i don't think it's making 530bhp. and i certainly don't think your car can do 100mph in second.

i'm waiting for you to prove me wrong. i can't see it happening though.

The 6spd car is geared for more actually. Somewhere in the 220-235 range I believe. Granted nobody is driving up there that I know of, because frankly there might only be a couple in the world with power capable of hitting those speeds. Stock the power no longer overcomes drag at 160mph. Also stock gearing, 100mph in 2nd gear isn't happening either....stock gearing.
