240 vs 3000GT

[Bo240sx]

Ok my friend has decided to get a new car and its prolly going to be a 3000GT and i dont really know anything about it but if i was to race him say down a highway who do you think would win.... a 1990 240sx vs a 96 3000GT. Both stock but the 240 has a new tranny in it and i know how to handle my car pretty well

[Tims_240]

if its a vr-4 kiss ur sweet a$$ goodbye, even if it isnt, he will win, hands down. what i would do is take him on a really curvy road, and race him then. you might stand a chance.

[Bo240sx]

Yea i would be afraid to take him on a windy road cuz this is like his 4th car in a year and a half he hasnt had good luck keepin his car not totalled. idk i still might have a chance even if it might be a very small one... and its not a vr-4

[Samurai_Shampoo]

isn't the 3000GT a V6 stock?
yeah, he'd need to be a shitty driver to lose...

[Chuki_breath]

ur done, y ask just go race and find out...is it that hard?

agreed. what model GT is it anyway? if its VR4, good look my friend. if its just some base model GT, start moutain searching, its your only way, lol.

buy hey, if you come down here to dallas i'll race you in my eclipse, yeehaw!! lol


um, question. is the VR4 the only twin turbo 3000gt?

[Importboom]

better?\/ 240 would win if your friend loaded his 3kgt w/buddies and ran it on a 1/8 tank of gas, lol i read that from another forum but try it hahah

i belive so

[publicenemy137]

actually I'd have to say a 240 would win. It's not a vr-4, the stock 3000GTs are slow as shit. They run like 16s, like the 240s. They are heavy like boats (3500+ lbs). only the VR-4s are fast, a stock V6 it is possible for you to beat him. And yes, only the vr-4s are turboed, they are turboed AWD

[Tims_240]

is it a coupe or a conv.? if its a conv i bet you'll beat him, because they weigh 580 more lbs than the coupe im still leaning towards the 3000gt, if its the coupe. 222 hp vs 155. gt ~ 300 more lbs but,67 more hp. Who knows, I hope you win! gl.

[publicenemy137]

400 lbs more, not 300 lbs

240 - 2750 (coupe) or 2800 for hatch

3000gt coupe - 3252 lbs

Also it has 218 hp

[93_240sx]

The 3000gt will win my friend has had both the regular and now he has the vr-4. He beat me with the regular one, th only way you will win is if your friend cant drive and man are those vr-4s fast, twin turbo v6,320hp and all wheel drive.Oh and there is an even faster one the vr-4 spyder which has 400hp.

[10sec-Hopeful]

He will win even if it is like a 91 SL....he still has a lot more power than you. If it is a VR4, don't even bother, it is not even worth the chance of being caught by the cops or wrecking....but, I think that if you got an SR20, and he was an early model SL, you would have the advantage.

Other than that, don't bother, those things are killers.

[Chuki_breath]

killers??? compared to what? our 4 banger, those things are gay and the suckiest car in there class....nuff said.
