Hmm, I've never had an accident so I can't comment on that (knocks on wood), but I like my car to be intact, it helps to win races.

welcome to the board....

sorry i couldn't come up with some new noob basher thing about your mom or sister.. its been a long day

like random strike said, fix the pics you posted, i can see part of them and then read the other parts.

what turbos are you currently running on the vr4? i know of a some high school kid who has the vr4 engine in a base model 3000, and automatic = rediculous slow with no turning abilty, or rather, a waste of money. he has 9b turbos (i think...?) they spooled a quicker than i have every seen any turbo spool before.

ok to answers everyone questions on whats considered muscle and whats not consider muscle.

Yes in america muscle cars are prob consider v8 or higher but in japan that wasn't the case. Obviously there culture diff than ours so if you asked them whats there muscle cars they would prob say the supra, skyline, and rx7.

**** mention that skyline were made as luxury family car. What do you think the muslce cars were consider back in the 70's? they were daily driven family car sedans with high horsepower v8 engines.

Knock the skyline all you want and dont consider it a japanese muscle. In japan the skyline alone has won 29 races in 4 years. the R32 dominated the series till the rule out awd vehicles. GT-R has developed an immense racing pedigree that includes over 200 race wins, five consecutive championship wins in the All Japanese Touring Car Championships. If you went to japan and asked what car they considered a japanese legend it would be the Skyline.

Like the neon and mustang the skyline is underated. Its makes more than 280hp. But with japanes strict horsepower requlation, they had to rate the car that. And its not like you can't tune the car to easily make more horsepower.

I only said the Skyline was consider a japanese muscle because it was stated that. Why would i just throw that out my *** and make that up

the base model only weighs a little over 3000 lbs. Yes the automatic is slow, and I have stock turbo's (9b's). Vr4 weighs more due to awd and aws plus electronically controlled susp., electronically controlled exhaust, tt system (intercooler, oil cooler, piping), transfer case, big brake system, active aero sytem (wing and front air dam electronically extend for downforce)


Black dragon, there is more than one considered, why dont you review some Car And Driver articles from the 90's. there is a comparison between toyota mr2, rx7, vr4, tt supra, nsx. Skyline is very similar car and vr4 came w/ 300hp stock.STOCK. thats more than the skyline and its also awd.

Nobody can ---- with a 92 civic. It's unmatched even in Iceland.

Just a little correction... The 3000GT/Stealth are NOT DSMs. The DSM was made in Normal, Illinois the 3000GT/Stealth was made in Japan. You will not find ANY DSM badge on the 3/S.

Ban this retard. ---- japan. ---- a peice of ---- 3000gt.

your 4000 pound sled could hang with a boosted d series ek.. thats about it.

3000gt was a pretentious homo ******* car when it came out. They look like low rent trailor park novelty ferraris. Congradulations on driving a supercar thats as fast as a normal american sports car.
