This question really comes down to you. Ask yourself which car is going to make me happiest. My answer is biased becuase I don't know anything about the 3000GT VR-4 and I have only had a mustang.

with the money u have put into the stang i would keep moding it and ur not going to get the money back when u sell it but on the other hand the vr4 is 4 wheel drive and twin turbo n/m i would pry go with the vr4 b/c all u have to do is buy a boost controller and u can up the boost abit its at 300 hp or so now u pry could up it a couple pounds and be getting 360? mybe i would pry buy the vr4 now that i think of it, but take some time and think about it what u like better do u want rwd or awd its all up to u mate both are great cars and i dont think u could make a wrong decision. good luck

not sure about VR-4 specs, but it seems like i've heard 14's for 1/4 mile, whereas the GT gets 13's. im fairly sure stock for stock the GT is faster, and to me a V8 always has more potential than a V6. if I were you i'd keep the GT, and save up for a supercharger. with some suspension mods, mustangs can handle with the best of them. also--four wheel drive vehicles stick to the road, but are harder to turn in general. the VR-4 is also a tank when it comes to weight, something like 4000 lbs with driver, whereas the GT weighs about 3200 with driver.

3000gt. WAYYYY less common, stock for stock it would probably be a drivers race with my nod going to the 3000gt, and its gonna hold its value much better then the mustang. Is the 3000gt a standard or auto? Well IMHO I would take the 3000gt.. endless possbilities with a TT.

EDIT: Also as an after though. Im not a "ford basher" or anything, but I have personally yet to see a stock GT mustang break into a 13. I was just rereading my post and glanced back at the previous one, thats the only reason I say this, unless the previous guy meant that with all the mods the GT is now runing 13s, which is totally understandable. Maybe its because I live in Mississippi with 100% humidity and 95 degree weather, but I just havent seen a stock one get in a 13. Do they really up north or somewhere?

A VR-4 for $10,000, there's got to be alot wrong with that car! Around here they go for $20K+. Personally I'm not impressed with those, they weigh as much as a truck and don't have as much upgradability as other turbo cars(or mustangs).

the 3000gt is standard not much wrong besides needs new carpet adn understandable engine wear
