Either my Civic's really fast or...

The Base models and SL's aren't made with performance (in terms of speed) in mind.

The VR-4 model, however, is. If you want to race a "3000GT", race a VR-4, and be sure to get it on camera for us at 3SI.org.

I'd still take an N/A 3000GT over any Civic, reguardless of speed.

Ditto. N/A 3000's are STILL faster than any of those N/A econobox's, and look 100x better.

Anyway... I had to reply to educate you people, the last thing we need is more ignorance towards these cars. Base's have THE SAME HP as an SL (222 fed spec, 218 cali-spec), and they are nearly 150lbs lighter.

bases are FASTER than SL's.
The only base's that were slower were the 97-99 years, which came with a SOHC engine and 161 HP. So if you pull up to an N/A, be more afraid if there is no SL label, unless it has a hoop spoiler.

So yes, accord, there is a point in buying base's, which are faster than V6 Mustangs and Camaro's. You sacrifice a little luxury (leather seats and sunroof) for a little speed.

listen ricer boy...i am going to give you a quick schooling in 3000GT and stealth's
the 91' to 93' stealth came in four (4) trims
base= sohc with 167 hp....
ES= dohc engine with 222hp
RT= dohc engine with 222hp
RT TT= doch twin turbo 300 hp

the base, es and rt all weigh the same at 3100 to 3200 pounds
the RT TT weighs more at like 3700 to 3800 but is no slow poke...

now the 94 to 96 ( last year the stealth was made due to the fact for 5,000 more you could have a viper....
the base was droped fromt the line up....all that was offered was the es,rt and rr tt...the rt tt got more hp at 320hp and 315tq...95 the aws( all wheel sterring) was droped from the car....

the 3000 gt is pretty much the same excpet for the fact that the base got the 222 hp engine and until 97 when it got the shitty 167 hp engine... the sl and the rt are the same car just different names...the vr-4 and the rt tt are the same cars but guess what different names..and
and i used to have a 91 stealth r/t and i could waste 5.0's, civics,


and as far as them being over priced shit like you said ...guess what they are and always will be better looking and faster than your shitty bodykit piece of shit civic that i see bout 12 to 15 on any given day....why because they are cheap and any high school kid with ricer intentions can affored them and better yet can pick up parts at your local auto zone or advance auto parts stores.....lol...i will stick with my 3S car....


shut your mouth if u have no clue what u are talking bout....
