That's like putting a wimpy V6 in an M1A1 Abrams and expecting to go fast. They say there's no replacement for displacement, but I'm cranking out 24 more hp (than the base model) with 1.4 less litres and 2 less cylinders lol...

According to some 3000GT / Dodge Stealth devoted website I pulled up, the VR4 weighs nearly 3800, so the base and SL couldn't be any less than like 3650.

The VR4 has the added weight of two turbos, two intercoolers, and the AWD differential. 3800lbs sounds a little high, but they are big cars and I haven't seen otherwise.

[KamiKaze Accord]

VR4 weighs 3737 lbs, SL weighs 3263 lbs. , and the base model weighs 3131 lbs.

Aaaaahh So

There are a few SL guys hitting high 13s with a bucket of mods (no turbos or supercharger) otherwise, they are not quick at all. Trust me when I say, the SL owners would rather have that then a 10 second civic. “Can’t polish a turd” is usually what I hear.

As a general rule, I don’t race Civics because I have them way overmatched. Of course there are some seriously modded ones that will whoop on me, but those are few and far between.

It was only a matter of time before Yogs found this thread!

But Yogs, you have to agree that the base model shouldn't have even been offered. Whats the point? Its like buying a V6 Mustang or Camaro.

I like the phrase "You can't polish a turd" though!

I concur - a base model doesn't stand a chance against much at all. The SL is ok, not going to win races but it'll run solid in traffic.

I would take a VR4 over any civic just because of looks and having a powerful AWD. You can polish a turd, but it will be hard to keep it streetable at the same time...

Uhmm, rather dont. You never know if all of them are the same, modded or unmodded. Its like when you beat a GT or LS1, dont think you can beat them all. At times its the driver, not the car that youve beaten.

I do agree on somethings though, the 3kGTs are some fat sumbitchez.
