No reason to take offense, I'm just stating the facts... its well known 3000gts are huge sleds. I've probably worked on more than you could ever imagine :P

VR4 around 3800 pounds, supra weighs 3600. My car is a twin-turbo awd car, not a n/a fwd 222hp car. It came w/ 300hp stock. it now has 395. That is not a great amount. I just watched a turbo civic vid on dyno w/ 802 hp. I LIKE HONDAS. they are nice for what they are. AND they ARE light and can be made as fast as anything. My car is a Sports car and yes there is japanese muscle, skyline, supra, sti, evo, rx7, 300zxtt, 3000gtvr4, nsx, and maybe I missed a few. Yes the car is heavy and stable at high speeds. I have had my car up to 150(it had plenty more) and it was very stable due to weight, width, and electronicly controlled suspension. I would like to see a civic or crx run safely at those speeds.


So, anyway, if there is anyone who would like to talk about their car instead of mine, I would love to. I KNOW THERE ARE FAST-ASS HONDAS. I'm not dissing your cars, so dont diss mine, If you would like to have a debate or discussion, then by all means, lets. ;D

AbaZ, I haven't ever been in a fast Honda. My wife owned a 92 accord that we put intake exhaust rims and clear lights all around (white car with white 18's). Not fast though. My daily driver is my 02 accord and its stock. I watched a video of a civic keeping up with a viper (viper guys were very suprised :o)

My friend Tim is a honda freak. He has 01 v6 accord that he's about to turbo and i will tell him about this site tomorrow.

HaHa on the van, but let's see your real car ;Dthe fast one. yeah i guess i was testy, i came on here in peace and actually didn't expect smartasses at 3 in the morning (should've tho, lol)

I will be researching some of these projects, I'm sure I could get some insight on my own car.

ive heard that the silvias in japan are pretty much equivalent to the mustang in the states being that the older ones are dirt cheap in japan. i dont dought the supras muscle, but wasnt the price up there in the supercar relm with the nsx

Welcome new guy, we always talk ---- to new people, is the iniciation period...don't worry about it too much, but don't be dissing the board and some of our setups. It's mostly about function, things don't have to cost thousands to work fine.

I always liked the 3000gt that was my dream car when i started high school, I always said I was getting one, someday. But didn't.
If you want to talk cars, it's cool. Fact is the car is heavy, and even with 300 stock HP they where not that fast, for it's time, they where, but not anymore. With some work they could be incredible. I've seen a few with 500hp, track videos and magazines. Not too bad.

For my cars look at signature, AWD 300whp/300lb/tq on 3100lbs of metal.

Harddriver, I like your car. This site is cool, but its very heavily honda, so a change up is cool.

AWD and steer? that is crazy. I would like to drive one sometime.
