Eclipse VS 'Lude/Integ...is Honda getting boring?

[Tennis Shoe Eater]

Good for a car without any turbo or supercharger (NSX). They should call the VR-4 a POO-POO Rocket

[SRV BOY]

lol, if the nsx had turbo it would rape the Vr-4 piece of crap!!

[r8erz4life]

a vr-4 is still an awesome car!

they equal up to hondas price anyway with their mpg

You buy an Acura or Lexus, the last thing you worry about is stupid unseen issues like all the above happening.

ok, now when i drive anywhere i go i seem to see alot of 2nd gen tegs out there.mine has 200k miles on it and i have had no real problems short of what i caused. so acura seems to hold up just as well and the depreciation value holds the same if not alittle better than the hondas do.

and you could never get me to buy a damn ford or chevy for that matter. i spit on them.

no no. i love imports too but im the only one in my family with an import. everyone else has either a chevy or ford. ford is mediocre when it comes to reliability but i was amazed by chevy. believe it or not chevys are built to last. my dad has a chevy astro van that he beats the living shit out of every day(hes been in an out of probation and road rage type schools) its got 178k miles and has never had any mechanical problems.

Tell what your twin turbo can do

actually the vr4 and nsx in a straight line is a drivers race. my buddy cory owns a nsx and previous to that he had 2 vr4's. he says that they are so close in speed he can't tell the difference. in many ways he feels the vr4 is faster, but he also feels the nsx is faster toward high rpm.
like i said in a straight line its a drivers race, but on a track the nsx will rape a vr4. the handling on a nsx is beautiful




Putting the power to the pavement is the name of the acceleration game. The Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 has 320 hp, much less than the Jag and Lightning, and the same power rating as the Mustang Cobra. So what gives the Mitsubishi the advantage over them? Traction.

This is the only all-wheel-drive car in this test. That means no wheelspin. Launching the Mitsubishi is so simple, it's like flying into outer space - even a monkey can do it. Just tach up the DOHC twin-turbocharged V6 up near its 6000 rpm power peak and drop that clutch. Granted, this isn't the best thing for the car's durability, but it sure gets this 2+2 off the line like a slingshot. All four 18-in. tires dig in, the 3000GT squats like Mike Piazza, and you are gone.

Don't expect any rubber when you throw gears, either. Tire slip in this car is harder to come by than a date with Pamela Anderson. Shifter action and clutch takeup could be a bit smoother, so quick gear changes aren't easy. But the V6's surprising amount of low-end torque really gets the heavy Mitsubishi going. And the motor pulls right up to its 7000 rpm redline.

One thing missing from the Mitsubishi's stellar performance: the right sounds. Its hair dryer exhaust note just doesn't cut it.

Chevy is not shit. The Corvette line has always been an incredible package and value. Camaros, new and old, are also great cars. I would rather save my money and get a Corvette C5 than an NSX. There also has been a myriad of great cars in the past by the Ford and Chevy line.

[Shpyder]

Id still get a VR-4 though...the Spyder. I dont really care if the NSX beats it by a few milliseconds or w/e. I bet the NSX handles a lot better though. But I think the VR-4 would be a little more fun to drive...I love anything turbo. The whistles and psshhhts and little turbo noises are fun, lol. So is going topless.


Corvettes rock. So do Vipers. Hey, have you guys seen the Chrysler ME-12?? That thing is off the hook.
