hrm im seeing mid 14's stock for the galant vr4. thats not bad.

 

I'm not taking it personaly.. it's cool. I'm just telling what happened. When we pulled over we both opened our hoods. It was def. a TT. The guy was kinda of in shock he got beat (which was only by a fender or so). When I said it was close I meant CLOSE. We talked for about 20 min. He never mentioned engine probs or a mis shift. I do agree from a stand still at a track the CLS would lose.

 

hrm. well freakish shit happens.

I gotta defend my car y0.

oh and for the people arguing weight.

curb weight of a CLS is 3,510 lbs

curb weight n/a 3kgt i 3,263 lbs.

curb weight of the vr4 is 3,737 lbs


you guys arent much lighter than the vr-4. and youre heavier than my car.

 

It's all gravy.... I have to defend my car too....
A general rule on weight is a 5hp loss for every 100 lbs you add
And it still isn't freakish damnit

 

in my eyes it is

 

 

Acutally, that is 10hp per 100lbs. So ignoring weight, it's like a 280hp CL vs. a 300 or 320hp VR-4. From a roll, it's quite likey that you got the jump on him. If your trans downshifted to first, and he was in second at the time, it probably would have happened just like you said. He may not be the best driver, he might have looked at his tach and saw 3500 or so in second and not realized he could have slammed it down into first.

I wanted a VR-4, I know all about it, and how to make it sick fast. But I wanted something more reliable, and auto for my daily driver. Now, if I decide to get a second car like that, it'll be a Supra TT, as w/ the VR-4 you have to tear it down and rebuild. The stock components are only good to ~400hp before they fall out the bottom of the block. The stock components are good on the Supra TT to well over 800. I don't want the loss of AWD anymore either. I think a 335 rear tire should have enough grip. Smoking them is fun too.

And SilviGTO, I'll race ya anyday in my first gen.

 

youve got a first gen 3kgt?

 

CL woman...lol

 

you make me sad

 

I'm sorry. Hold on a sec, lemme run out and buy one...

 

anyway yeah.. thats the one thing about the vr4's.. reliability

 

Hmmm.... Doesn't a CAI, some pulleys and a S/C clip off about that much time?

 

my friends VR4 runs low 13s. he has like only one grand invested in his car

 

doesnt the 3000GT's have chrysler engines in them? i dunno.. seems kinda ghey... i might be wrong though... but anywho.. stats dont mean crap woman! its all about the condition of the car.. how well the engines been broken in, and the driver! jyea.. i wasted a 3000GT! but... it was on the freeway... lol.. he didnt know how to weave through light traffic... ghey... ... but he did know how to supe up his ride though! it had a veilside front bumper and it was lowered... red car with red street glow.

 

no 3000gt's do not have chrysler engines in them. 100% made in japan.

now some chryslers do have mitsubishi engines in them

 

really? ... u sure its not the other way around?

 

yes. i am dead sure.
