SGP VR4

[96speedZ28]

So a couple of us went out crusing today and happend to pull up next to the sixth gear performance 3000GT. This is the pearl white one that is clean as hell lowered on stock chrome wheels. I think he said he had a boost controller running 14psi on the stock twins. Also had some fuel work, intake, and something else, im sure cj remembers. First time we went from a dig and he got me out of the hole pretty bad then ended up about 2 cars behind to around 100mph. Second we went from a 2nd gear roll and it was pretty much even till around 105mph and he had about a half car on me. I was pretty damn suprised to beable to hang with that car.:)

CJ got some pics of the car im sure he will post up later.

[BOORAH]

Not bad for a Accord.

[Jasen]

3k GTs are heavy.

[96speedZ28]

So are F bodys

[Js04sILVerBullet]

Nice runs

[Kelvin]

wow if this is who i think it is, this car rarely ever comes out. you got lucky.

[Johnny]

very cool

[Jasen]

So are F bodys

3k GTs can weigh 3700#s empty, have way more parasitic driveline loss. My LT1 weighed less than that with a full tank of gas, my fat ass in the driver's seat and a full nitrous bottle. Takes a fair amount of HP to make a 3kGT fast.
The problem with F-Bodys isn't the car, it's the owners. Most F-body owners (not all) start upping the HP without doing any traction mods and spinnin' ain't winnin'. F Bodys are tire fryers from the factory, so more HP makes them slower because the torque gets converted to heat energy emanating from the wheel wells with smoke rather than propelling the vehicle forward. Do some traction mods to your Z and you might be surprised what you can hang with / beat. :Thumb:

[Jasen]

Ask drew about the 500 RWHP WS6 he took down with his stang when it was putting down 260 RWHP.

so many people don't under stand that its funny

[CrazyPete]

:rofl: his car is slow as **** he got rid of the good exaust, the volk wheels he had, its on a low boost setting now and the tune on it is very mild. BTW he's a very good friend of mine

[Thunder]

:rofl: his car is slow as ****

ouch lol

[CrazyPete]

you should race him thunder i can set it up

[CrazyPete]

and dont get me wrong for a heavy ass car its moves its prob a high 12 sec car

[Thunder]

you should race him thunder i can set it up

im going to be getting some DOT slicks here in less than a month, i'm glad to run him

[CrazyPete]

Im not saying im fast but i wouldn't say the vr4 is slow as ****.

[C.J.]

its badass

and traction is gay anyways. I would rather have a 500whp tire fryer than a 300whp car that hooks anyways. Mostly b/c i drive around by myself more than i race my car and spinning tires is fun.

[C.J.]

oh and about that 3kgt, haven't seen Aaron out for about 2 years and that was only seeing the car once, he hasn't been regularly out since i was probably only 16 or 17 back in the days of SGP.

he said he was running intake, exhaust, boost controller set to 15psi tapering to 9 psi....it wasn't as fast as i remember.

[s13curtis]

since when does SGP still exist??

That's the first time I've heard a STi owner say that. Weird.

[STOK5OH]

Ask drew about the 500 RWHP WS6 he took down with his stang when it was putting down 260 RWHP.


I think it was like 460whp actually,and he had full suspension and DR's and it was a dead even race at the 1/4. Rofl,so then he got pissed and stiffed dynoDan for a bunch of money.:rofl:

[Cobra Commander]

i wouldn't say the vr4 is slow as ****.

No, they are.

For all the Seward boys on here, do you remember that red 1st Gen VR4 that used to rod around your town?

[DarkSlide]

I remember a stealth rt/tt way back in the days.

[Cobra Commander]

The red VR4 sat on the side of Herpolsheimer's for a few months. I think he finally blew the tranny or something. This same dude bought a red SRT4 after killing this VR4.

Anywho, I have many stories of this douche losing to 15 second cars. He drove that ****er like it was a seven second door slammer or something. :lol:

[DarkSlide]

Oh that guy. The car looked clean but yeah it was slow as aids. I think he barely beat or lost to the red SL that runs around Seward.

[Cobra Commander]

That dumbass used to cruise around York and bounce it off the rev then drop in in 1st every time he took off. I'm still amazed that tranny lasted as long as it did. He got walked pretty badly by a GS-T with a ricer BOV, hard piping, and a catback. :ohnoes: :lol:

[DarkSlide]

Oh snap. The SL got beat by a neon.... so neon > that vr4

[Cobra Commander]

This is true. ^

[Kelvin]

you are a closet VR4 nutsucker brook don't lie

[Cobra Commander]

I own three. :(

[Kelvin]

so this is the older guy correct?

[cole]

decent, wish i coulda came cruisin'

[Mits3kGT]

VR4's are on the heavy side in terms of weight but with just a few easy mods its pretty easy to get them to 350+hp. But parts are ****ing expensive as ****..

[Cobra Commander]

The term "easy" flies out the window when everything is expensive.

[DarkSlide]

I miss Dan and his VR4, that thing was sex.

[DarkSlide]

And by that thing I mean Dan.

[Cobra Commander]

Dan, yes. The car, no. That thing was beat to hell. It ran good though.

[Mits3kGT]

The term "easy" flies out the window when everything is expensive.

ha true
but the parts are some-what easy to intall if you have the money and have a little bit of mechanical know-how

[96speedZ28]

:(

C.J. is a good ol' fashioned grass roots mullet at heart. Besides Kevin, I don't know anyone who likes doing a good burnout more than C.J. :)

[Cobra Commander]

Paul. ^

[C.J.]

its un fair to group this VR4 with any that you guys have seen/raced in the past...this car is museum quality and deserves respect from anyone. It is better cared for than my SS was.

[Cobra Commander]

No, the car will never gain my respect. Working at Mitsubishi for over a year will make anyone hate those piles of ****. :lol:

[C.J.]

since when does SGP still exist??

they don't, but this is one of the two guys who owned/started it.

[RallyEclipse98]

Sixth gear performance is still around as far as I know. In Jacksonville. At least last summer they were. Them and their 1,000 AWHP Evo.

Not the same thing...im afraid you don't go back long enough to know what we are talking about.

here are some really random bad pics of the VR4

Too bad he ****ed that car up with those hideous wheels.

Yeah, I thought the OP said they were stock chrome rims? Guess not.

They are...... :puke1:

Then again, Mitsubishi has never made a good looking wheel.

Ugh! I'll stick with DSM. Mitsu took a bad turn with those rims. They remind me of those totally sick wal-mart pop ons! JP, I hate those rims and the pop ons. Seriously though, those rims belong on a lowered S-10 or something ha.

[C.J.]

rallyeclipse your opinion doesnt matter

brook, your retarded.

[Cobra Commander]

brook, your retarded.


I know those are stockers now. To me they looked nothing like the stock wheel in those rolling pictures. Well, kinda. It took me a minute to figure that out.

We had 1 (one) of those wheels on a top shelf at Mitsubishi for some reason with a foot of dust on the box. It was listed for almost $900 bucks. Why anyone would spend almost $4k on that kind of ugliness is beyond me.

[Cobra Commander]

Oh, and 300GTs are ****ing gay. Their interior sucks, their reliability sucks, their curb weight sucks, and their wheels suck. The chrome starts to peel off if you even look at them wrong.

[Lamb]

I remember back in the day watching Jesse and Aaron line up quite a few times. Aaron always got him out of the whole but Jesse would always reel him in.

I still remember SGP hosting a car show for the premier of Fast and Furious. That was 4bangercity days kids.

[Bobby Light]

ahh the imfamous 4banger city...

[RallyEclipse98]

3KGT's are just not for me. I've ridden in and driven them many times but they handle like whales. And yes, the wheels on the vr4s are hideous.

[Cobra Commander]

I hate how ugly the leather gets once miles are racked up. Ewww.

[RallyEclipse98]

You ever see a red NT 3KGT around Lincoln ever? Big alumium wing on back.

No. If I did I'd swerve and hit it.

Thanks. It might be for sale here in a few months.

Might

[Mits3kGT]

the wheels are the stock 2nd gen VR4 wheels. great looking car, not a big fan of the 2nd gens just bc the front end/head-lights are hideous compared to the 1st gens and the 3rds.
yeah you can say they're unreliable/horrible quality blah blah but at the time they were produced they were unquestionably the most advanced cars of their time.

[cole]

:gayspin:

[Kelvin]

ACTUALLY

the jaguar xj220 was. in '92 they had factory run flat tires that were able to be driven upto 50 miles at up to 60mph. IN ****IN 92

[DarkSlide]

Yeah they were far from the most advanced.

[LastPewterZ]

at the time they were produced they were unquestionably the most unreliable/horrible quality and for this they were the most advanced cars of their time.

Most advanced for their unreliability:confused:

[Kelvin]

**** you tanner take your pushrod 32v the **** out of here



i kid

[C.J.]

Yeah they were far from the most advanced.

not the most advanced but remember they came out in 1991, they had more crazy features than anything else that I can think of that wasnt an exotic of the time.

[DarkSlide]

Idk R32 GTR was more advanced imo just because of the whole attessa setup

[96speedZ28]

who cares

[cole]

whatever, 305 3rd gens would have torn anything up...

[Snake_Eyes]

Too bad he ****ed that car up with those hideous wheels.
Agreeing with the others they are stock, he bought gunmetal volks for it a few years ago.

[CrazyPete]

he sold those a while back

[Kelvin]

i think he could sell that and make some money off it.

[Mits3kGT]

Electronic Controlled Suspension (could toggle between two modes of suspension..basically still and soft)
Electronic Controlled Exhaust (could toggle between two modes of exhaust, open for more power, or closed for better mpg)
Active Aero (could control the rear wing spoiler, and front air dam, increase for more downforce, and flatten for a smoother ride)
4 wheel steer (wheels also tilted after 30mph for better ride quality
LCD In Car Temporature Monitor
and some other stuff i cant think of off the top of my head
