I have raced the late model VR-4's and I won by a few cars. They jumped off the line a little better then I did, but I was quick to reel them in and bet them by a few lengths. Never raced any heavily modded ones. Mostly just catbacks and bolt ons. They look nice, but I'd prefer to have a late model Supra anyday.

EDMUNDS.COM :
1997 3000gt vr-4
Length: 180.3 in. Width: 72.4 in.
Height: 49.3 in. Wheel Base: 97.2 in.
Curb Weight: 3737 lbs.
1997 Toyota Supra TT
Length: 177.8 in. Width: 71.3 in.
Height: 49.8 in. Wheel Base: 100.4 in.
Curb Weight: 3445 lbs.
Nissan 300zx TT
Length: 169.5 in. Width: 70.5 in.
Height: 48.4 in. Wheel Base: 96.5 in.
Curb Weight: 3502 lbs.
1998 Chevrolet Camaro
Length: 193.5 in. Width: 74.1 in.
Height: 51.3 in. Wheel Base: 101.1 in.
Curb Weight: 3442 lbs.
so you see the "gto"/ 3000gt is plain heavier.
Sometimes CURB weight is not the same as "weight" as in the link you sent, but believe the GTR is the lightest out of these.
that's why the r32 is known in japan as Godzilla.
Also don't hold your breath on Paul walker or whoever and how fast they WILL make that vr-4.
the vr-4 was out in 1992 and you just don't see Many fast ones at all. why?
there are MORE 10 second Talon/eclipses than 3000gts.
the Subaru sti is the TRUE monster. 300 Pounds of torque.
there are many vettes and supras with 1000hp, some f-birds and camaros got there as well. Many GTRs and HUNDREDS of Hemis and BB and Sb chevys. also turbo Fords.
the vr4 is a nice fast Grand Tourer, like a s4 without the luxury or power. and a bit heavier.
here's a better comparo from car-videos.com:
3000gt vr4
100 ft 2.63 s @ 41.81 mph
500 ft 7.47 s @ 70.98 mph
660 ft (1/8 mile) 8.97 s @ 76.15 mph
1320 ft (1/4 mile) 14.10 s @ 98.97 mph <-------------
2640 ft (1/2 mile) 22.38 s @ 118.21 mph
5280 ft (1 mile) 36.17 s @ 139.76 mph <-------------
7920 ft (1.5 mile) 48.73 s @ 147.15 mph
R33 skyline GTR
100 ft 2.60 s @ 42.05 mph
500 ft 7.41 s @ 69.37 mph
660 ft (1/8 mile) 8.89 s @ 77.84 mph
1320 ft (1/4 mile) 13.96 s @ 97.76 mph <-------------
2640 ft (1/2 mile) 22.16 s @ 120.16 mph
5280 ft (1 mile) 36.00 s @ 139.29 mph <------------
7920 ft (1.5 mile) 48.46 s @ 148.44 mph

gto the make can 1000hp race with the fastest in the world 10.56 it's awd you heavier ythan it it is lighter than r33 gtr will race and win it is a plane in take off and is much fast for ls1 to handle because it 4.7 to 60mph

I read the post a few times trying to figure out just what the hell 68 was saying when it finally dawned on me.
Sorry I am a little slow in the morning. Pretty funny 68.

i've always been funny but i try not to post alot unless something gets to me. i'd hate to be called a post ***** or a troll since i don't have a ls1. 
so i only try to post when i have something halfway to contribute. but that can change if you'd like i can ***** away and maybe one day aspire to be an elite stf member

well, my ppd is kinda low, but I think that is because of my times when I first joined of not posting at all... Jon, gotta remember that Gray is a mod, so it is his job to *****. We just do it for fun
68, please continue to post though, you are a pretty funny guy, and you know a shitload more than I do... I don't even know if I serve that much of a purpose on this board.
