3000gt........?

Anyone ever race one? I personally know nothing about them just curious if they are as fast as the look.

VR4's are fast, they will kill you. the non turbo models... autos are cake, not sure about 5speed nonturbos though, should be close to our car but im sure a max will still take it(5spd max w/good driver).

Just remember, SL for the 3000GT means SLow.

the TT models are fast, no way your maxima will beat even a midly modded one.. there are lots that run in the low 12's and high 11's
