Default 3000GT vr-4

I'm driving back from class and this *** in a 3000GT vr-4 (has a passenger) is doing like 10-15 below the speed limit so I've had enough and drop it to first and he immediately does the same. We stayed side by side from about 20-60 before I realized I was about to run a red light and hit the brakes as he kept going. I definitely heard a turbo (I think they were twin turbos) and they were rated at 320 hp if I remember correctly and the vr-4 was the AWD? Sure it wasn't the ideal run with low speed but it was about even.

those are fun as hell. my friend had a stealth rt tt which is the same car. if you guys would have gone from a dig, he would have probably got you. i'm sure he at least has a little boost controller.

weight > that car.

I like agile cars, which is why I'd probably never get a 3kgt.

I had one of those back in the day. It was a fun car, but Mitsubishi got tired of replacing transmissions for me.

I raced a Stealth RT TT AWD and beat it from a roll twice. Quick car though.

I agree, those cars are really cool, but man they are huge.
