ZO6 vs VR4?
Hi,
I was talking to my friend at school today and I told him how I love imports but my dream car is a brand new Corvette Z06. Anyways, I was telling him that and he says his is a Mitsubishi 300GT VR4. I dont know much about these cars but arent they twin turbo? Anyways who do you think would win in a straight up drag race? I think both cars run 12's. Thanks

Re: ZO6 vs VR4?
The Z06 all the way, the VR4 is a fast car but not as fast as the Z06. And yes the VR4 is twinn turbo. The way to spot a VR4 from a ordinary 3000GT is that the VR4 has a self adjusting rear spoiler, very cool if I have to say so myself lol.

Z06 will kill a vr4, this is coming from a vr4 owner. the 2002 Z06 will demolish a vr4 were talking 12.4 vs 13.5 no comp. but were the comp is is a vr4 vs a stock c5 vette, and even then the vette is gonna pull him in at the end. don't get me wrong vr4's are blazing, but the Z06 is just way too much for it.

Re: ZO6 vs VR4?
Z06 is way faster than VR4, as it is about 600lbs lighter, also 85bhp and 80lb-ft torque advantage.
The adjustable spoiler was dropped after the 96 mode. I forgot the year they dropped the "silencer"

The only place the vr-4 can be competitive is POSSIBLY gas mileage... But I know the z06 gets DAMN good gas mileage.
Ah, got dammit. I guess I'll go find the facts to match my blabbing... quoted from carpoint.com... 98 vr4- 18/24 04 z06- 19/28 So ya.. the z06 beats the vr4 in that too. Wait a minute.. doesnt the 3000gt have some small seats in the back??

After the initial launch advantage of the VR4, the Z06 will quickly run it down and then walk away faster and faster. Considering the price tag and that its design is nearly a decade newer, it damn well better win.

on the times for the z06, where are you getting that 11.9 1/4 mile time? seriously... can someone give me proof of this online or something?
on the competition thing, yea i agree that the vr4 should be compared to the regular c5, but the c5 should still beat the vr4, but not kill it. but then again, the vr4 is a 10+ yr old designed car while the c5 came out around 97.

granted some people have mods to hit 11.9 others did it in stock form, not to mention I've been to the track and seen a couple run  dont believe all the magazines you read.stock form they said my fiero hit 16.0 in the 1/4 mile and 0-60 in 8. I nailed a 15.1 with a crappy launch, might've snagged a 14.8 at best with it if I launched better.

that is a bullshit time devil, nobody posting a .8 reaction time can get a 12.8, that would put the car directly at 12 seconds flat, which I doubt he has the ability to shift it like a professional.
I have however seen many stock z06s running VERY low 12s at the track here.

how would a .8 reaction time net you a 12.8, which is a 12 flat? reaction time is the amount of time from the green light to when you trip the beams. you can have a 5 minute reaction time, and still run a 12 second 1/4. the reaction time has nothing to do with your ET.
