Re: Mitsu VR4

What only import you would own, I would definitely lay down to buy a EVO 8 before I bought a VR-4. Plus the new 6 series BMW's hold a warm place in my heart, can you say M6.

Re: Mitsu VR4

I am not a BMW type but I do like them. Just wont own one. My brother had a vr4 and it brings back memories of when he would let me drive it. Like the SY it was a dream to own one. EVO...yeah thats on the list too.

3800lbs for all years and 3600 for 96 stealth's. They have 3 new diffs coming out by march and new billet transfercase housings so driveline issues are going to be a thing of the past.
It's just a six said:
I think those cars are pretty heavy like 3600 lbs???

Re: Mitsu VR4

I lined up against a VR4 (300GT) before and wasn't impressed with it. The light turned green and I was already on the other side of a rather huge intersection. I guess I was about two cars ahead when I let out of the throttle. Then in typical fashion, it comes hauling ass by me. Now don't get me wrong they can be made to run fast but when a 5600lb truck puts 2 cars on one, that would be a sign to sell if it was me.

Re: Mitsu VR4

Well guys i finally got my first ride in a SY. I really like just about everything about it, The launch felt really good, then again it is an auto which is nice. K5cruz, a new member here got one i cant wait to see what he can push it to. I am sure we will have a lot of battles once he gets it tuned and modded. Jared

Re: Mitsu VR4

I know you have the same pride in your Syclones or Typhoons as I have in my Sy. And if you happen to line up to a True 3000GT VR4 or Stealth RT TT and actually gain room out the hole all I can say is you are a better driver with quicker response or the guy wasn't racing or doesn't know how to launch his VR4. Remember we are still talking about both cars being Stock. Don't belive me ask Mike @ Raceproven Motors. I raced him 2 times in my friends VR4 & my friend who owns the car raced Mike 2 times. All 4 times we got 2-3 cars on Mikes moded Typhoon which ran 12.1 @ the time. Mike won the first 3 races because the clutch on VR4 wouldn't hook up in to 3rd gear. But week later we ran him again with same clutch only It hooked Up in to 3rd gear and we got Mike by 2 cars. I think it was the only time ever Mike lost a race. When we put a new clutch in VR4 I called Mike to see if he wants to go again He said his truck is going to be RWD from now & with a different motor. Lets jst say It's not the same Typhoon any more.

Not that I don't believe you, your opinion is your opinion, but have your ever pushed the Sy to do a very high psi boost launch? I also would believe that the 3000 you had was a stick? Have you ever boost launched a Sy with 10+ psi?

Just when I compare these vehicals in my head I can't imagine what you could have done to make your VR4 launch noticably harder then the Sy agian comparing a stock VR4 to a stock Sy. I mean were talking about vehicals with similiar factory torque ratings and the VR4 ( correct me if I'm wrong ) tips the scale a little bit higher then the Sy does.

Maybe just one of lifes little mysteries ;)

Oh and Seti that car is badass looking :tup:

As I mentioned earlier I do own a Fast & highly modified Syclone far from stock. And yes I have driven lots of Typhoons & Syclones both stock & moded launched them all. On stock Syclone by the time you get 10psi with Brakes locked your rear tires are spinning so there goes the launch. I know how to launch Syclones not new to this trust me. Not easy on my truck either just like wasn't on my VR4. Bottom like is 60' And you will see that best Syclone stock is 1.7-1.8 mostly 1.8 60' with 3000GT VR4 1.6-1.7 mostly 1.6 60' That's all I have to say. I know you have pride in your Syclone or Typhoon just like I have in my Sy. Syclone might catch it on 1/4 mile but not pass it. Oh yea And Black Knight it's not my opinion it's a fact.
