3000GT vs 300ZX what do think is the best keep in mind best for street racing

[TatII]

it depends. you didn't say which one. the 3000GT SL's are garbage. front wheel drive with 220hp on a body thats atleast 3300lbs. the n/a Z is rear wheel drive and has 220hp as well. but since its a RWD and weight less. the Z takes the cake in the n/a. now for the twin turbos. i would have to say the VR4 would whoop a Z32 TT.

hahaha double posted

wait the 3000GT SL is Front wheel drive ????????????? ahhhhhhhhh:finger:

VR4s are sick

I have to agree VR4's are the shiz, but I still love the 300zx. If you got money to put into it either would make a fast car!

If it is the 300GT SL, then it is garbage and you don't want it. If it is the 300ZX 2+2 then it is garbage and you don't want it. The TT 300ZX IMO would be a better buy, the aftermarket for it is much bigger then the 3000GT.

300ZX is by far a much better car IMO. They may not run 13.6 in the 1/4 stock, but in the long run, there's alot more that can be done to them, and with my experience they're alot more dependable. For a total of about $8000 i got a car, repaired it from dealership condition, and modded it enough to where i can easily take a VR4...not embarrass one, but i can beat'em bad enough to where it's more than obvious. How much do VR4's cost again?? Beleive it or not, modded TT Z32's give me more of a run for my money than ANY 3000GT i've ever raced.

IMO VR4's don't last long, and are unreliable. It's easy to blow the engines, and the trannies like to fall apart........same as the Dodge Stealth (HA)....personally i think the 3000GT's and the Stealth's are both POS's. But hey, like i said IMO.

Personally if you're looking for a street racing car, I'd recommend a 300ZX (and no, not just because I own one). I've two friends, one has owned a VR4 (temporarily....his wife wrecked it), and a another one that owned an R/T Stealth. They were both constantly bithin' back and forth over who's car was better(they're both crap as far as i'm concerned). They were both constantly having mechanical problems, and on a few occasions, when i'd give in and partake in there little weekend runs, i'd beat both of them. (Granted, they were stock, and my car's not, but i just thought i'd throw that part in) N-E-Wayz, there's my 2 cents worth.

How much does a 300ZX weigh? I have heard about problems with the AWS and AWD when people mod them because they just can't handle the work load, I have a friend with a TT Stealth and he doesn't have any problems, besides his own recklessness.

I am sure Yogs will have something to say.

about 3400 lbs. the VR4 does way about 200-300 lbs. more. The thing that sells people is the after market availability. The Z has so much more available, and those things are less expensive. They are both great cars, but guess where I will lean. Well kinda falling over.

[Marc-OS]

I would take a 300zx, but I think that's mainly because the 300zx looks way better than a 3000gt. Both cars have tremendous potential for huge HP.

[DemonZX]

There is a reat potetial for power with the 3000GT's, but parts are to expensive and few and far between.

[TatII]

Z32!!!!!!!!! i've said it before and i'll say it again. anyways, the VR4 is overly styled, when the Z32 is just a timeless design.

[Cbass]

With stock internals, body, and drivetrain, I'd go with the 3000GT... you can get 600hp out of either, but the 3000GT will be easier to drive, with it's extra traction. If giant tires are an option, then that becomes less of a major advantage.

I see fewer 3000GTs, and they look better IMO, especially since I have yet to see a vulgar "shogun" style body kit on one. I'd take a VR4 just to be a little different.

Now the 3800lb curb weight of the 3000GT is quite a drawback, but the 300ZX TT is no lightweight, at 3400 lbs.

[DemonZX]

Come on Cbass you know you lika da' Z....Uh,,,,You lika da' Z!

[Cbass]

Oh, I lika da Z... Oh, ah dat's ah good, oh I lika da dat.
