i was happy overall with the time i had the vr4. the clutch needed to be replaced because of the numerous launches, not really the cars fault. are you a member on 3si.

I got a ride once in a VR4 TT from a dig to about 70mph and Holy Crap...it pulled so ******* hard. 
This one had upgraded WRX turbos at 15-16psi. It literally had me pinned to the seat. 
Oh...and that long gearing in those cars is great.
I love the 1G VR4's best. Too bad they have a glass drivetrain (aluminum t-case?) for a heavy car.

You're right about the gearing. When they hit 3rd at 80,holy **** are they rolling! Ive done 170mph in mine. They pull HARD on top end. Been meaning to run it with my ws6 from like 80 just to see. Last time i ran them from 40 and then 70 and the ws6 would pull a car on the take off(4.10s) and then just slowly walk. Probably close up top.

I miss my vr4 too, but not much......my new car is just as fast stock and has a 4 year warranty, but you're right everybody thinks they're too heavy...can't turn.... blah blah blah.....and then you walk em and the attitude changes.....

But once he got the motor built and and other things he ran a 11.00 at 130 at the track Then my turbo came in and i got tuned and long story short we raced from 60mph up to 180+ i had him by a car lenth could not pull away my car ran out of gear 3.73 in 6th about 6,400 rpms he said he was slowly catching up I dont doubt it but it was fun
