Iam Impressed GTO vs VR4

Damn just let me tell you "quick". My friend and I were driving around i was in another city Burlington it's is about 20 min away from were i live. We were driving home and we see this car pull out of the mall and i didnt think much of it. From were i was it looked like those Dodge Stratus RT's. Well i pull up to it from a light i look over and their was the GTO symbol. First time ive seen one. The guys was very young older than me but was still young. He looked over gave me and my friend nice little smirk revs. It was pretty weak, for a LS1 it didnt have the growl iam use to hearing from a V8.

At first i wasent in the mood to race but my friend was like ah shit dont let him do that to you. He's the friend with the Camaro SS. So i rev getting prepped. Thinking gotta win gotta win. I wasent paying attention the light turned green he launches hear his tire sqelling like crazy so i launch easily take him so iam like 1 car ahead, hit second i hear him hit second because i hear him sqell his tires in second. He starts pulling on me like crazy, i hit third gear now he is a half car lenght ahead of me. We keep running now we are at 120 and he's still ahead no body is pulling on anybody. He shuts down and i was so dissapointed. So i shut down now we are cruising at 65 he gives me a thumbs up and i do the same and he takes the the next right. Only if he didnt shut down i was confident i could of slowly kept pulling. Damn first lost in a long time. I want a rematch damnit!!!!!

I hope so, but they sure did make those GTO's pretty damn fast. Only think is i think they look to much like the Stratus RT's. They should of made the styling alittle bit more agressive looking.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

hrmmm... i dont think u would have caught him hey. GTO's are manufactured over here as Monaro's.

Monaro's are damm fast and when it got rebadged as the GTO it got a power upg as well. as fast as a vr4 is, i dont think you would have caught him.

Re: Iam Impressed GTO vs VR4

Yea the do run kinda like the TA and Camaro's but their exhaust is really weak. They should of worked on that alittle more.

this is his friend u know the one with the SS. Im on his cause it wont sign him out on my computer but anyways y would he want to catch him on a roll then the 3000 has no chance its like if he races me from a roll he is toast. Thats the only advantage that a 3000 has is the all wheel drive u take away that and they got nothing on a GTO, TA, or SS. and even from a dead start 3000 still looses right phuc diddy.

LOL!!!
