there is so much ways to tell you if the car is a sl or vr4 one big one is a sl regersters 160mph and the vr4 regersters 180mph.

my bad you said 3000gt and sl there is only one way and thats the preformance test a sl is supercarged with 222hp. a stock base 3000gt is got no supercarger and is very slow with the 167hp setup. OK!!!

*shakes head* An SL isn't supercharged.... It's naturally aspirated with 222 horse. If they were supercharged, they'd have a lot more power than 222. And seb, are you talkin about like... just seeing it on the street and being able to tell? Or being able to look under the hood and stuff?

[AcesHigh]

It's difficult to tell from body. Pop the hood and you'll see the engine.

How lovely would it be if an SL had a supercharger...

[slimmcb]

Hard to tell, sl came with leather as an option and the base didnt, I think. arent the rims different also?

[Nesryn]

Yeah... I was thinkin rims 'cause the SL and VR4 are diff and stuff. But I don't know what they look like.

[sebmista]

thanx alot for the info guys, but the thing is that i just bought a 3000GT and i want to know if its sl or just a normal 3000GT it has leather but the rims arnt the stock ones... heres a picture of what it is, nesryn i can look under the hood sense its mine so if ya can tell me what one has that the other doesnt that would be sweet thanx!!!

Awesome lookin car man. If I'm not mistaken, the base was a SOHC... while the SL was a DOHC. So pop the hood, see which one you got.

[sebmista]

w00t it says DOHC cool beans man! thanx hommie!

[Nesryn]

What year is it? And is it a manual?

[sebmista]

its a '94 and hell yea its manual lol, i dont like automatic cars... which brings me to another question.. aight i hear about double clutching, my friend tells me that, thats when ur going about 40mph and u shift to nutral u rev the rpms to like 4 and then quickly shift to like second and let go of the clutch and u take off pretty fast.... is that what double clutching really is?

[Nesryn]

I think you can use double clutching at any speed and in any gear. I don't know many people that do it though, just 'cause trannies don't need it these days I don't think. Plus it wears out your clutch hella fast if you mess up.

[slimmcb]

that is for racecars, that is why they switch out the clutch and tranny out after about every race. I wouldnt recommend it, especially with a vr-4

[sebmista]

aight
i was just wondering if thats what double clutching is
