The VR-4

[Igovert500]

Yeah vr4 is rumored to stand for Mitsu's Viscous coupling method of AWD.

[-The Stig-]

VR4 = Viscious Realtime 4

[Sleepr awd]

it handles pretty well, i wish i could have driven one in better condition that was stock, but the one i drove has a 2.5 cat-back, o2 dump (sounds horrible), and k&n airfilter, it is set at 8psi right now and (if the eclipse was running) the eclipse is faster and corners better, but it feels so good to be boosted and the AWD and turbo motor has much more potential than my car...the VR-4 is like the first generation of turbo AWD sedans...

the vr4 uses the 6g72 engine. its twin turbo'd, and they started with 300 hp and went to 320 in 94 or so. they are pretty much the greatest cars ever made but they weigh about 4200 lbs. and no matter what you say, NO eclipse could handle or corner better than a vr4. i use to own one, and it was great. i miss it alot. and its Viscous Recoupling 4. its all wheel drive and all wheel steering, but the wheels dont all turn, they camber in for better cornering. thats why the inside of the tires always go bald early.

you don't read well...do you? try doing a back track
or here's the sum up:
1991 Galant VR-4
4g63 engine AWD AWS Turbo w/ a 14b, 2.5 cat-back, k&n air filter, o2 dump, hi-flow cat, mbc, 255 fuel pump
It is not Twin Turbo
It is not a 3kgt
It weights somewhere less than 3300lbs
It is too high off the ground to corner very well
it is a SEDAN
it is rated at 190hp from the factory
it has crappy all-season tires and no strut tower bars to help cornering (i have a front strut tower bar)

btw at 8psi, my friend ran a similar time to mine, so we're looking forward to lining up together

That made me laugh out loud!

[BlackGT2000]

Being the greatest car ever made is certainly a stretch no matter how you look at it.

[Sleepr awd]

possibly the best sleeper ever made? but thats kinda neck in neck with a bunch of other cars

[drftk1d]

the greatest car ever made was from the guy talking abuot the 3000gt.

i wholeheartedly nominate the galant vr4 as the best sleeper.

[BlackGT2000]

Even the 3000GT isn't what I would call the greatest car ever made. It was certainly a high feature car. When I think of the best sleeper I always think of the Buick Grand National. Personally I didn't even know about them until about 4 years ago and those things are usually very fast. The Galant v/r4 is a sleeper though I will give you that.

[drftk1d]

he was saying the 3000gt was the best car ever made, and its NOT (sorry 3kgt guys).

i think more people know about the GN vs the galant vr4, but thats just me.

[Sleepr awd]

i also don't think the GN was a 4-door, granted its a lot faster than the VR-4 stock, also, doens't the GN have 3.8 turbo plastered all over it? i kno my buddy's regal does and its a turn off for all the rice cuz they know they'll get stomped, the VR-4 Galant just says VR-4 on the back right and my friend took his off and made it a keychain :-/
