Talking Knowledge works.

[I love my MKIII, and can afford it fine. But some people have lots of $$ to put onto a car, and if going insanely fast is what you want, an MKIII is not it.]

I'm talking...INSANELY fast. Apparently you have not gone 180, 200, or 230 mph in a drag car. Its a RUSH !!!

Also...
http://auto.consumerguide.com/Auto/U...arreviewspecs/

Stock specs of the 3kgt

All 3000GTs from 1991 to 1996 used a 3.0-liter V6 engine with dual-overhead camshafts. A normally aspirated version went into base and midrange models, developing 222 horsepower (218 in '97). The hottest model, the VR-4, got a twin-turbo rendition that made 300 horsepower (increased to 320 for 1994)

Stock ...MKIII...N/A = 200hp....Turbo = 230hp.

Like I said, I love my car, and plan on keeping it for a very long time. Its a pleasure to drive.

But, as you may have (or not) noticed, I NEVER have to swear, or call anyone an idiot. Those ways of communication speak "volumes" about the knowledge, age, and experience of the speaker.

I just have lots of car experience....40 years to be precise.

And I have lots of experience researching the facts, too.

Well put mrnickleye, hopefully this issue is now put to rest, and hopefully something will be learned from you statement about communication. While reading this post I kept expecting to see Ya, well my dad could beat up your dad, because that is about the age level this thread reminded me of.

So this whole time we were talking about drag cars? Thats cool, you've gone really fast in a drag car. We are talking about street cars, 3000gt vs mk3. Either car can win, it all comes down to driver and hp. Hp can be made in a mk3 just like any other car.

Thats all common knowledge, I'm glad you were able to find that through your research. Stock values don't matter as we were talking about modded cars. Like I said before, stock vs stock the vr4 wins.
