These cars are definetetly not dodge neons,lansers,etc.These cars are arguably the most advanced car of all time for a car that has a budget price but,can compete with porsches ,lambo's ,and such.All i know is i bought it because it is beautiful and has no mechanical problems and has potential to unleash up to 650hp all wheel drive.The car also has 4piston calipers and the rear wheels turn in around fast corners.What the heck i'll try and have alittle fun racing porsche's with it, and dodge lansers too!
The vr4 stock 1/4mile times are 13.2 at 104mph so,i read on that 3si site;we'll find out soon enough if that holds true or not!

lol good choice on a car.. haha.. ive got a 92 vr4 as well.. stock you should be able to post a high 13.. ive got a bout $800 worth of mods and i run high 12's.. they do tend to experiance tranny problems only becase it is awd.. a lot of awd cars have tranny problems.. but it also deopends on the way you treat it.. if you start popping out the clutch thats when transfer cases break.. its not hard to touch 11's in this car and still be daily driven.. theres a few that run 10's and are still street driven with full interior at 3700lbs.. so the car definatly has a lot of potential.. and the motor is actually quite reliable.. just do your basic maintence and youll be fine.. any questions just ask me.. pce..

To make it live longer you should lighten that pig as much as possible. They are even heavier than TR's!!!!!!!

They handle well on Gran Turismo, I know that

Flyin'GN-- I never said that the Eclipse based vehicles shared anything with the 3000 based vehicles?? I think the 3000GT is one of the most beautiful vehicles I have ever seen. The same vehicle was sold here as the Dodge Stealth minus the rear wheel steering. White Shadow, enjoy that sweet ride

yea the dodge stealth and 3000gt are the same cars.. they share the exact same motor.. tranny. and enterior.. oh and by the way .. the tranny is not a mitsu .. its a gettrag.. the stealth doesnt come with as many optoins as the vr4 did..like active aero.. 4ws.. and air suspension..
