How would a 3000 GT VR4 Twin Turbo do against a LT1 or LS1 F-body?

**2000T/A Guru** · 11-08-2007, 09:20 AM

Lol, if you really like cars, you can see the good and bad in all types. Not one car is superior to all others in ever aspect of racing. Thats what makes the car world fun, variety. Sure some people favor these and some people those, but when i all comes down to it the only reason we fight or have and fun racing is because we are all competitors. We all want to win, sometimes people have a hard time admiting when they are outclassed. We all want the same thing speed.

Now stop talking shit you both slow.

Yea but it still seems that the muscle cars are on the better half

Maybe if I was a member of SVT Performance...you are always so quick to call me out, get a life.

Oh really??? So maybe Domestic Demon on SVTperformance is just a coinkydinky....

Just funny though, considering you both have names that start with the letter W, you both have 98 WS6's, you're both from NJ, and you both work for Advance Auto........hmmmm, Yup, I need a life.

Thats not that uncommon

double post

4tun8 and wesman - keep the bickering between you two out of this thread.

**Flyman1981** · 11-08-2007, 07:15 PM

Funny huh? Why dont you go back and re-read my whole post and all of them... I got on this site because i was considering getting one... I also said that i wasn't attacking anyone, i just wanted to put my $.02 in becuase i have one and am very familiar with it... I know our cars have drivetrain problems... I also went on to say i replaced my transfer case (problem area) with a better one! I then backed it up with personal experience. My friend with same car as me has broke 5 Xfer cases. I told you all that i spun a bearing (another problem my platform is pleagued with) I then said that didn't beleive that person who said there car dynod around 700 @15psi. So i'm failing to see where you come from???

F-Body's are known for have rattles on the interior and leaky T-Tops.... Would that stop me from buying one, NO! Im here to do research adn just BS with people, so dont get your panties in a bunch.

I also agree there is no perfect car to get... You can be a proud owner, but you should also respect other platforms. They all have there strengths and weakness. Thinking your car doesn't, means you are nieve. Im not about to benchrace with you... let your car do the talking!

i raced on at the track, not sure of the mods. probably was very close to stock. he only cut like a 2.1 sixty, then i walked on him by lengths lol

**2000T/A Guru** · 11-09-2007, 07:59 AM

Well these are v8s and i have see npeople with 15psi on twin turbo lsx cars put down 900rwhp so 15psi on a single turbo setup making 700rwhp aint unheard of.

Except that the LSX has a lot more displacement and is much more efficient as moving air through then engine. 700WHP from a small 6 cylinder with 15PSI is a ridiculous claim.

**2000T/A Guru** · 11-09-2007, 01:08 PM

Correct, unless you have an isane turbo with an isane efficiency

I dont understand some people and their logics. What is the point of having a 700hp car? do they make money off of it? most likely not! and they have put probably thousands of dollars into their cars. i understand 400hp like 100+ from the stock, which you can get to buy bolt ons but 700 is just a ridicilous(sp) number!

im sure its fun to drive but as many people here will say, its also very fun driving a 300-400hp car.

NOT a diss or anything, but I JUST DONT GET IT!

**2000T/A Guru** · 11-09-2007, 01:20 PM

With 700rwhp its still a streetable car, and running 9s in the quartermile is fun. I have a 500+rwhp supra that i love to go fast in.

As don't I. A 700HP car is pretty much useless on the street. Just like all the Supra owners who claim to be making 700+HP yet still run 12's, what a joke. I don't see 700WHP being streetable at all unless its a very large motor that has a linear powerband. These high horsepower small engined turbo cars don't go anywhere until around 4000RPM, and then the turbo spools up and they break the tires loose all of a sudden and cn't regain traction. Same deal everytime you shift. Thats useless power on the street.

**2000T/A Guru** · 11-09-2007, 01:29 PM

I made power from 3700rpms-the 6800rpm redline, and with 517rwhp ran low 11s, poeple who setup there supras to make 1000rwhp for 1000rpms are dumb and dyno queens, i have seen 670rwhp supras run 9.8s when built right.

**JwMonE99** · 11-09-2007, 02:23 PM

There is a guy down here with an easily 800-900hp camaro that is street legal and streetable but he hardly ever drives it on the street lol. But still thats bad ass to have an 800+HP "street car"

yes it is, yes it is. and i know what it feels like to have one

**Flyman1981** · 11-10-2007, 04:40 PM

Its the typical male cock swinging contest...

Once you get used to 500 HP you want more. i never thought i'd want more than 300-400, but play with it for a while and you want more. It might also be an addiction i have to modding!

It goes in a circle though. I've seen tons of people who modded their cars to the max, and then decided one day that they were sick of it and go back to completely stock or buy a different car. I try not to do mods that sacrifice durability of efficiency, so that the car is still very driveable. I would never want to have a fast car thats a trailer queen :cough SUPRA owners cough:
