Hey, you guys are great to read some of your posts. I own a 97 VR4 and I kill 300zx tt daily. Sorry, but as far as looks, I did like them when they came out but when Mitsi released the 3kgt, I was hooked. And, Danny Sullivan tested three cars, the Mazda RX7, Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, and the Nissan Twin Turbo 300zx, guess who came in LAST PLACE?

Sorry Nissan, your just not good enough....imop


11.07 elev. sea level
497awhp
GT 368sx twin turbos

AEM ecu stand alone
twin Walbro 341's

If anyone is interested, I have been a member of the www.3si.org for several years now. I came across this forum surfing the web, always want to see more video or write up's on the VR4. Anyhow, Matt Monet, a tuner in New mexico, has some nice videos on his website, www.dynamicracing.com, and if you want, at the 3si.org I have listed my mods in my sig: 97VR4

Check it out if you haven't seen it already, but most of you probably have.

I will defend our cars to the end.

P.S. NO RICE ,,, please.

the 300zx N/A would beat a 3000GT but with the turbos the VR4 would kill a ZX TT. I still think 300ZX's are better though because they have much more potential. 3000gt's have little parts out there and the parts they do have are expensive. 300ZX's are becoming more and more popular and there are much more mods out there for the 300zx

Well, I just registered, so this is all new to me. I own a 1991 3000 GT SL- front wheel drive, 222 hp, the basics, i've had no problem with it, and in my opinion, the speed is decent. I've raced it several times, win some, loose some. i think if you compare the 300 zx to the 3000 gt sl, the 300 zx is the victor. Allthough, between the 300 zx tt and the 3000 gt vr-4, I'd have to lean on the vr-4. I love 3000 zx's and i love 3000 gt's. I've raced a 300 zx.....and i got smoked up haha. I have big plans for my car, but nothing anytime soon. If anyone knows anything about a fwd to a awd conversion, please let me know, thats what usually kills me when i race.

i vote 300zx, only b/c the 3000 has a tendency to break alot of parts when a lot of power is added...

there's a local stealth r/t here with about 900hp, and that's the truth, and he goes through clutches weekly.

the shop that works on my car has a set of 5-6 3000's that rotate in regularly... there's no real upgrade for the trans, and it breaks with a ton of power, the axles are the same...

and besides that...

the ecu's are fairly unreliable, and it's not uncommon to have to completely replace one...

but a 300zx isn't exactly super user friendly, with the engine bay being as tight as it is...

considering i've had my vr-4 for over 2 and half years now and having all the reports done on it my car hasn't had a single mechanical defect and now that the car is not exactly gone past its peak cuz i've seen and heard of even higher hp'd 3kgt's than mine i have talked with one guy and he said the same thing as me he's been problem free even after the 700+hp mark .... i agree that the ecu on the stock is complete shit but hey nuttin $230 would solve 2 get an aftermarket and gettin a piggy-back computer is a helluva lot of trouble especially in my hp range but once u get it set thats near 30+hp bonus u can't beat that

unbeatable3kgtvr4 - you should stop in at www.3si.org and convince us that you stripped 1300 pounds off your car. Bring proof and time slips because of your going to shovel 8.x at 180+mph we'll have our boots on. There are a couple VR4s in the 1000hp range that are mid 10 second cars. You're going to need a hell of a lot more then 750 to hit eights.

Lol.

I've never gone into this thread...and I can see you guys got almost pronographic with it.

I'm not closing this myself, since I want to see what this guy with a record-breaking 8-second VR4 comes back with. If another chooses to close it, so be it.
