I know I know it's not fair but it COULD have been......maybe. Punk asked for it by weaving in and out of traffic to catch me. I noticed him like two lights before he caught me but he was working very hard to get up to me. Car was red with black stripes. He got beside me and was looking over wanting me to run but I'm not really game cause the roads are damp and there is traffic but if he waits long enough there is a straight ahead about 1/2 a mile up i'll run him there. He is impatient and passes me and then proceeds to ride the person's *** in front of him. My lane is faster moving and I pass him back and the cars in front of me get in the right lane. 3000 gets in behind me and RIDES MY ***......bad. So I'm kinda pissed. After we pass all traffic he guns it (can hear it) and tries to pass me when switching lanes (ricer flyby). I'm at 60 I punch it, spin a little on the downshift, immediately stop his run and put buses on him. I shut down at 90. After the pwnage he is no longer interested and is going very slow. I get in the right lane in fact and slow to the speed limit to see if he will still drive like a retard (nobody goes that slow on this road) and he sits back and won't come anywhere near me. Guess he had humble pie for breakfast.

A kill is a kill sometimes you have to do what you gotto do. I ve been wanting to race a 3000gt Vr-4 my buddy you to have one but sold it.

JHL88

nice. this reminds me of some tool that owns a 3000gt on camaroforums and is talking a whole lot of smack. happy too see you beat one, i think they are mid to high 14's in the 1/4. good kill

Good kill, but . At 60 with 3.23s you'd be about 15mph into 2nd gear. No way you spun.

but it sounds soooooooo much cooler to spin the tires!

Actually I tune my car and have changed my 3-2 so i downshift to second on the freeway up to 70. Ask my brother I whooped his *** bone stock and his car has 360 at the wheel because mine downshifted and his didn't. And if you READ the story I did say the road was DAMP which means it wasn't raining but the road in spots was wet enough to hear water. I DID spin some on the downshift jackass. WHY QUESTION THAT? You don't have a clue what my car has.......I could have bald tires!!!!!

Moral of story.............Don't skip over the fluff and not read the whole story.

Not to mention we had snow last week and the roads aren't too clean yet anyway.

A little spin doesn't seem that far fetched if he has street tires on a cool, damp highway!

Good kill on a base model or SL. They think they have the fastest **** in the world just because it says 3000gt on it. VR4's are a good race stock for stock, they can hit into mid 13's with free mods, maybe better with a really good driver.

Nice! I hate aggressive drivers. I remember this guy in a 3000GT SL (stands for slow ) who cut me off among other people/violations. I usually dont do anything on the street, but I buslengthed this guy a little later up the road with my near-stock DSM. Its really pretty sad how slow the NT ones are an how fast their owners think they are. All the riced out ones are NTs. The clean well maintaned ones seem to be VR4s usually. Ironic.

if it's a non VR4 i don't think they're anywhere close to 14s. especially the SOHC. my buddy has a DOHC Stealth and it doesn't feel any faster than my DD Grand Prix.

ballhawkdawk

at times, it seems like all people ever do in this part of the forum is bitch. "no way you spun man.. NO F'N WAY!!!!" who cares?

JHL88

it is a vr4 he thinks hes the ****. thinks he'll beat ANYONE in a bracket race lol im like cmon dude..

A friend of mine had a base SL model, and the best he could muster in the 1/4 was high 16's. Not fast at all, and he was really bummed when I lined up next to him at the track and walked away from him right off the line. He now has a '05 Vette vert, and is quite happy with it.

my dads got an SL model. and he had a vette, but he got into an accident in the vette. so out came the LS1, and into the 3000GT it goes. hows that for a sleeper?

Thats to funny he thought he was super fast and then gets his *** handed to him. He was embarrassed

My 1999 3000gt that I owned over 5 years ago have a woppin 160hp!!! I raced my buddy in his WS6 and it was so funny..he had bus lengths on me before I got to 20mph. BUT...I had a big spoiler!!!

Okay lets clear up some facts here, BASE or SL not both. Base is a sohc 6G72 with around 170 bhp. The SL comes with a DOHC 6G72 good for around 220 bhp.
The VR4 is a twin turbo DOHC that is somewhat underrated, but figure around 300 at the crank.The non turbo fwd models are extremely slow and heavy, especially the SL with all the goodies of the VR4 but not the power and AWD. This is not the same as the stealths because it was possible to get the lightest weight base model ES with the DOHC motor so it wasn't quite as bad. Regardless, all of the fwd non turbo cars would be lucky to duck into high 15s especially since most are poorly maintained any more. I have owned 6 of these cars and it is one of my favorites, my last one was a 92 VR4 that consistently ran mid 12s with the stock turbos and nothing major done to it.

Are you serious man, really, come on for real are you doing this here?
Were you the driver of the 3000GT?
Dont knock the guys hustle man, I can spin my tires at 60 w/stock gears and the mods in my sig, no tuning!

To Lickeyman good kill man.
