*wisper* (watch out the VR4 guys are coming)

 

Sorry guys if we already had this discusion, but I'm new in here so I have not seen anyone talk about the 3000 yet.....my bad, just want some input..

thanx

 

Yeah, awhile back a turbo maxima had a race with a VR4 and we had some controversy. They came over from there forum, and some of us went over there, it was great.......

 

Ohhh ok, well then I guess I was racing a sorry driver then huh???I don't know but it was fun...

 

Yeah, maybe he just had the badge Good race to you though.

 

 

*shh* be very very quiet...i bet the vr4 guys are lurking again

 

try a search on the subject and have fun.

 

I spanked every 3000GT and 300ZX(and most mustangs) I came across in my Grand AM SE with the Quad four. Since the Maxima has much more torque I expect to get about the same results. I have a few memorable incidents where I saw taillights: A modified stang, a Lt-5 Vette, A >500 SEL Benz. But it's really hard to get any races in a Grand Am I tell ya.

 

I bulbed his *** and haven't seen him since. I think he missed second gear but that wouldn't have mattered.

He(nice guy) came up to me in the pits and told me his best was a 13.80. So he would have been within a couple of tenths of the luxury ride!!!

 

Thanks for all the replies guys...it has helped some...........

Oh it was a VR4 alright, I made sure to look at that, but like I said I don't know much about the car so if those cars are fast and can definitly beat us, then it was just bad driving on his part.....oh well

woods. Here's why.

i would imagine that a vr4 would smother a maxima

 

Yeah must have been really bad driving on the drivers behalf. Kinda hard to keep up with them unless you got some serious mods done.

 

Yeah it was for sure a VR4 but like you guys said it must have been bad driving....thats what I was really questioning cause I had never raced one before nor do I know much about them....thanx

the vr4 was probably toying with him those cars have alot of ballz there is no way a max can beat him , maybe with a sc. come on they have 320hp stock.

DEBO

 

They are rated at 320hp stock, but they are less and they loose performance very fast. They are a twin turbo set up much like the 300ZX, but very, very cheap. One of my friends bought one of the showroom floor in 95, raced it for about 2 months and got to rebuild the engine. Mitsubishi sales garbage, and people love it. Oh yeah, about that guy with the Quad four Grand Am, you are full of ****. If your going to come on here and lie, atleast make it somewhat believable. Come on! A 3000GT SL tops out at like 106 and takes a long time to get there. You might be able to hang with that in your Grand Am.
