3000gt NA auto vs me

one of my friend just got a 3000gt NA AT, he keeps saying he can beat me on the 1/4 mile, so we set up a time and we'll be heading to the track tommarow. His car is stock and i only have an icebox. No money was involved, cause we'll both clueless on who would win. Do u think i have a chance? thx in advance

As long as you get a decent launch, and a good R/T you should win. I beat an (older) turbo RX-7 who ran a quicker E.T. by getting a good reaction time and a not so great launch. Are you guys gonna compare E/T's or just straight up race to the line?

You will rape him, that car in NA form is slow and heavy. The VR4 is another story.

Let us know how it goes. IMHO, you should be fine.

I thought for sure the NA 3kGTs were heavy as hell, but compared to our CLs they're 150~270lbs lighter! Oh well.

I've got a Dodge Stealth R/T non turbo auto which is virtually the same and you'll rape him. Love the look of my car but its way too slow. I think 1/4 in the 16's. No really aftermarket for the non-turbo.

I think you mis-read that.... the guy who started the post has a CL, and his future mods include headers.

As for the topic....you should beat him no problem

Yes, it all matters which model it is. The base gt is 180 hp, the sl is 260 and the vr-4 is 320.

actually the thats for the base model 1997 +

I have a base 1994 and its the DOHC 222hp.

the SOHC is 160(base 97-99), the DOHC (base 1991-1996, SL all) is 218-222 depending on the year and the vr-4 is 320. The SOHC engine didnt show up in production until the 1997 year.
