Hi everyone, I just sold my 3000GT VR-4 and picked up a CPO 2010 SH-AWD w/ Tech Pkg. It's CBP/Black interior and a 5sp auto. Been lurking around for a while now and it seems it's much friendlier here than on the 3000GT forums.

Congrats!
Welcome fellow CBP owner!

3000GT VR-4 seems to be rare these days. Would have been great if you were able to keep that car and have the TL.

thanks for the welcome C8N! Yeah believe me, I didn't want to get rid of her but being 6ft 3in, I needed the headroom.
And usable rear seats.
For adults.
Normal sized.
Plus the car was loud as heck, even with the stock catback, although I did do the downpipes and a test pipe. Man, I miss her...lol

Congrats! The 09+ is a great daily driver; especially the shawd! My friend has project VR4. Very rare cars indeed. I haven't see many on the road.

Thanks TeamAcura, they are rare indeed. Everyone on the GT forums kept trying to talk me into keeping her but I had to move on lol

Congrats and welcome.

It's rare to see a 3000GT, especially one that's still running to this day.

How long have you kept your 3000GT ?

Edward, I had the car for almost 2 years, although I had another one before that for also almost 2 years lol. I would've kept her (she was quite a looker) but it became increasingly more difficult to get inside her as I am kind of a big deal (6ft 3in) lol. The yoga required to get in and out of her was fine when I was 2 years younger but now, my body doesn't like to get all flexible lol.



Here's a pic before I sold her.

Looks like you took good care of your VR-4.
Hope you got a bunch on your trade in.
BTW... was that pic taken in Flushing? The area looks very familiar.

Welcome to Acurazine and your 4G! I'm sure you will miss your 3000GT - but the shawd in the TL is awesome in corners. Enjoy it!
