would a vg with cai y pipe and stick walk a ve auto stock they would seem even, anywayz thank you in advance, PEACE

 

I would say probably about even if the VG 5spd has a good driver and well maintained car, you might wanna advance the timing too! but there will be no "walking" of the VE auto going on!

 

well if one car was going uphill and the other was going downhill, but the uphill one had a tailwind and the downhill one had a headwind, and was also being followed by a ****ed off semi truck driver....

who do you think would win?

 

hehehe....I added too many variables didn't I??

 

I have been racing for well over 13 years and I have personally beating a ve stock auto with my vg stock on a open highway! Last I checked against my buddies electronic dash ve he topped out at 139 and I had a car and a half on him on a open highway in Nevada. I just recently checked my top speed with my latest mods and my top end is at about 145. So anything can be done if you can drive . I also kept up with a 2000 se even though they are quick there is always that one chance in what ever odds so try it for fun , what you got to lose if you beat'em thats one more for the vg family!

 

Uh... I think you have a VE and your friend has a vg. Electric dashes were only an option on 89-91 gxes (i think) and the 145mph speedometer is only avail on the 92-94 se.

 

read the dudes other posts, he's got a VG 5spd and ****load of mods to go with it.....

 

Oh sorry. When he mentioned 145mph I thought he had a ve (since vg's only have 125mph/115mph speedos).

 

yeah but still I understood what you meant...unless he has an aftermarket speedo or speed meter of some sort, there is no way to measure more than 125-130mph on the VG like you said! well, except if you get caught on a cops radar, right Matt!

 

As far as I understood, stock auto VE's aren't that fast, and I think that a VG could keep up with one, especially if the VG is a 5spd with mods. If anything, my goal is to have my auto VG as fast as a stock auto VE. Only in time though since I'm broke.....

 

well the VE is no doubt a fast car for its class, considering it is a 7+ year old car and can still beat some of the newer 200hp autos, thats enough proof for me that its pretty quick!! and stock for stock I SERIOUSLY doubt a VG auto could keep up, the lack of highend and only 4spds just kills it for us! but I was always 50/50 on 5spd VG vs auto VE on paper the numbers are very close, but I've never seen a race between the two so I don't really know...

 

but the stock auto VE doesn't know i'm not stock just given enough of my hard-earned money and i'll show the auto VE not to mess with the *cough* better *cough* engine.

did someone say VG?

 

to tell you the truth, I've seen a VG auto with intake and advanced timing run a ~16.5 before and there is a guy who just posted in the 1/4th mile post claiming to have run a ~16.4 with intake and advanced timing also, so I guess it depends totally on the car cause 16.4's and .5's is stock VE auto territory!

 

I know you guys are skeptical about everything people say here but I assure you guys my car can run 145+ top end, and yes my car was clocked by a buddy of mine with the highway patrol here in my hometown! He is a really cool dude and if you catch him late at night you can even race his camaro. We also have a place where we go to race V8's to chop there heads off, us import guys are tired of the V8 clan giving us slack. Its time we show the american muscle who really is king of the road! And in my case its Nissan!!!!

 

I like my stock Auto VE. It's pretty fast. In fact, it just got faster today.

 

It's turbo time in the spring for my VG

 

Hey Ron I believe ya man, you don't sound like a lying Riceboy. Do you got a website or any pics of your car? I'd like to check it out.. sounds fugin sweet!

 

Are you serious? I thought I was crazy doin what I'm gonna do to my 90 GXE (spend ~3-4k altogether) but just a turbo is about that much eh? Well props to you man, you seem to be on the same wavelength as me :P

 

I'm about to drop about $10,000 into my car people tell me to buy a new one but I love this car and I'm NEVER getting rid of it.

 

Dude, if you have $10,000 that you can dump into a car. I would buy a new one reguardless of how much you like your VG. But, if a really fast VG floats your boat...you better have that thing deep in the 12's after 10 g's. That's a lot of money.

 

Tell me what you're doing to it. I only WISH I had 10k to put into my car. You're gonna have the nicest 3rd gen out there for sure! That's gotta be more than David C put into his even. Feel free to contradict me if you're out there Maximapwr!

 

The only things I'm doing are the engine rebuild with the turbo, tranny rebuild,stereo and paint. BTW I only have this money because I sued someone

 

Oh really :P... *evil laugh* hmm I could slip and fall at the grocery store and break a few vertebrae... I'd have 50k easily! I could afford to let someone else drive for me (bein a parapalegic and all)

 

It's a lot more than $10,000 it's just that I'm willing to only put that in to the car.

 

Yes Anne I do have pics but my car is under construction tomoorw I will take some more up to date pics of my project car. I also have my own little import performance shop but here is a pic of my engine todate or you can look into some of my other posts I've also started a cardomain page but cant figure out how to upload my pics yet. Got to much pride to ask some of this uppty maximaniacs here but i'll figure it out soon.

 

Nice I wish my engine was that clean
