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

**White 95 T/A** · 04-07-2006, 06:43 AM

Yea hes def not modded except for some underbody neons.

I will enjoy this race win or lose heh

I Plan to do the following by middle/end of summer
Intake - Not sure maybe SLP or other
Exhaust - GMMG w/ either GMMG oval tips or Corsa duals
Longtube headers - Pacesetter
Y-Pipe - Not Sure
Wheels/Tires - Not sure
3.73 gears - maybe, I have 3.23s stock

Hopefully i can get myself into the low 13s (High 12s

) with that set-up and keep up wit my friends 01 WS6

, i've beat a stock 98 or 99 formula from a stop driver looked crappy with his friend yellin at him for losing lol

i wouldnt get too hyped about it yet...i have a 97 vr-4 and a 02 z28. My z is faster than the 3000 cause its got more torque, but you having an A4 might have a little trouble. Heres some specs for the 97-99 vr-4's: 3.0 liter twin turbo V6 DOHC 24-valves, 320 HP @ 6000 rpm, 315 ft-lbs @ 2500 rpm, M6, AWD. It weights roughly 3,750 lbs<--one heavy sucker. If you take him from a stop, he'll rip you a new one. Youll be spinning, and he'll be long gone. If you take him from a roll, you may have a chance. Hope this helps, best of luck to you.

Vr4's Are Dogs Unless Modded Decently, For One They Weigh Close To 4000lbs, Their Awd Helps But Runs Outta Breathe Round 70-80mph, I Took One When My Z Was Stock, His Was Stock Too Of Course, I Would Love To See How Bad They Get Beat If I Raced One Now

If Your LT1 is bone stock A4, with avg tires, You will be around a 14.2 car at 98mph. That would be with a 2.15 60ft or better. Stock VR4s run a 13.8 at around 98mph. That would be with a 1.95 60ft or better. (AWD)

My 95 A4 LT1 Z28 did a best 13.89 at 100mph, with a 2.08 60ft. That was with C/Air, air foil, cat back, alumn D/shaft,pan hard and L/control arms. Still had stock 16s and 3.23s. I also used a tuner to change my shift points to 6,200 and firm shifts.

My 98 T/A bone stock A4 with 2.73s ran 13.53 at 103mph with a 2.05 60ft.

**shadegray** · 04-08-2006, 07:02 PM

Completely sure he's stock too, right? A boost controller for him costs $20.

**wickedtalon90** · 08-21-2007, 02:59 PM

My brother has a 1992 3000GT vr4. Stock they run a 13.8 in a QT mile. they weigh a little over 4,000 pounds and run 9 psi stock. Do not run him for top speed the 5 speed will top out at 192mph. im not sure about the 6 speed. if you need anything else let me kno.

**JwMonE99** · 08-21-2007, 05:58 PM

We never did get results for that race

**2000T/A Guru** · 08-22-2007, 07:15 AM

Heres is the thing you cant just say your stock lt1 runs a 14.2, my formula with 2.73s ran a 14.2 and he has 3.23s, and i have seen stock autos hit high 13s

**Getzen_Guy** · 08-22-2007, 07:44 PM

yeah man those VR-4's are wicked fast... especially modded out, my buddy has one, and that thing ran a 12.7 on the stock turbos, with bolt-ons... and he's since added bigger turbos and a shit-load of other stuff...
It's an LSX killer man(Search For Vids on VR-4 on streetfire, user name is jrod/ raced an ls1 ta, lt1 camaro, WRX w/100 shot, twin Turbo 300zx, Turbo Supra etc.. all kills man)... stock shouldn't be a big deal though, I mean.. they only boost like 8 psi... and like 13.5? they're nice cars, make the shitty SL's look even shittier...
GOOD LUCK MAN

**N20LT4** · 08-22-2007, 08:42 PM

The outcome of this race can go just about either way. I've seen 3000 VR-4's run mid to high 13's @ 101 and some go 14.1-14.0 @ 98, so it just really depends. If I had to make a guess though, I would probably say in best case scenario for both cars the VR4 would have a bit to much for a stock LT1 A4. Now a 6-speed LT should have no problem going tit for tat if not pulling one.

3/s platforms suck cock...dont give a shit what anyone says. dont care if you have thousands of videos proving me wrong.

This man speaks the truth...I've seen some real garbage cars, but the 3/s cars are some of the shittiest vehicles ever made. And that mostly refers to quality.

**gotSOMturbos** · 08-23-2007, 08:28 AM

Most 3000's are worn out hulks even when you perform standard maintenance on them, thats why you don't see 15 year old mitsu anything around, unless they are low mileage garage kept. My buddy had one that was pretty much representative of whats left of them. 16 in the 1/4 mile. Yea a fresh one back in the day may have been a low 14 cars but the only ones turning those times now have to be modded. On the flip side a old LT-1 car with standard maintenance will run withing a couple of tenths of new.
