: Me VS. 3000gt

My friend with a 3000gt (not vr-4) is 100% convinced that he will smoke my jeep in every race every possible. 0-60, off the line, quarter mile, etc. Im pretty sure I would leave him at the line but dont know about the rest. I've rode in his 3000 and it is pretty fast but he is pushing 200,000 miles and might break down or something.

What you guys think?

Laughed so hard I had to look up a review



"For the driving enthusiast, the non-turbo 3000GTs are a bit of a letdown. By the mid-'90s, even the 222-hp 3000GT couldn't perform any better than some $10,000-cheaper family sedans, while the 161-hp 3000GT fared even more poorly"

Go out and DESTROY your friend in his slow ass 3000GT. And why don't you put some $$$$ on it and go home with a smile and some extra cash.

ajharman

Yes he is stock. He even rode in my truck and counted how many seconds (1 one thousand, two one thousand) it took my truck to to get to 60. He counted like 7 seconds but he was counting a bit fast. After the ride all he was talking about is how bad he would smoke me. I just want to meet him at the track and shut him up. I love how people under estimate this truck.

So you guys think I wouldn't have any problem with him?

They can be made fast but since he is stock and not a VR-4(not that that would matter) go show him what Jeep can do and get a case from him for making you waste your time and gas.

Haha no guys I wasn't slow in school. Pulling a 3.5 going into senior year at Purdue actually. :rocker: I would just hate to have something turn out bad and get beat by him because believe me...I would NEVER hear the end of it from this kid. He thinks he 3000 is fast as lightning as wont shut up about it. Sounds like i'm going to have to shut him up my self. Might be going to the track next friday with him joining me. Ill let you know how it goes.

If you were worried about it, the appropriate thing would have been to do a google search and look at that car's stats instead of asking us to guess :thinkerg:

ajharman
05-17-2008, 10:03 PM
True and since then I have done that. I found 0-60 times in the 7's and 1/4 miles in the high 15's. He don't stand a chance :)

Happy racing fellas

garbage. it must be something about those cars that makes the people who drive them delusional. i work with a guy who had one and claimed to have smoked a Dodge Ram SRT10 in his 3000GT(no twin turbo, again, not that it would matter). those cars are sleds, im not even really understanding why you say its kind of quick, they weigh almost 4k lbs with around 200hp.

This is the fastest stock Mitsubishi 3000GT I could find on Dragtimes -- not that I needed to look. I was in love with the Dodge Stealth back in the day (same car basically) and they're OK but nothing compared to the GCSRT8. Twin turbo or not.

It's pretty funny. I remember when the stealth came out--before I was driving-and I thought they looked insane. So funny how dated they look

Okay, I've got it. Go to Home Depot and load up the back with dirt or lumber or something. Then race.

Edit: changed my mind--you've got to get a hitch and then tow another 3000gt while you race.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH this made me LOL for awhile.

Sorry to dig up a thread from the dead fellas.

I'm new to the site, just kind of browsing a bit. Me and Tony (thread starter), are friends in the same hometown and I know the kid he is talking about. He thinks his 3000gt would be "a good race" with my Twin Turbo 6-speed S4 with K04s (if any of you domestics know what that mean).

Anyway, you guys have some damn sweet trucks, no question about that. Tony and I are going to run as soon as my car is out of the shop. I saw a guy on here that had a 2.7t Audi in his sig, care to pipe in on who you think would win.

My car is a 2001.5 6-Speed S4 Avant
K04s
Giac 3- Tune
5.0 Bar FPR
710N Dvs
Samco TBB

I have never run it but cars with the same specs run mid 12s pretty easy. The tune is good for about 400 crank hp, 430 crank tq. The best part about the turbos is that they wallop you with all of their torque from right around 2700 rpm, the dyno curves on this tune is like a freaking spike to a straight line.

Cliff notes on this car is: 12 second, 400+hp, 6 speed, AWD, station wagon.

I know I'm not exactly in my home territory, but spare the "eurotrash etc" comments. I'll post some pics up if you guys want. Anybody who knows anything about the B5 S4 chime in for sure and the outcome of a race between Tony and I.

Again, sorry for digging up a dead thread, going wayyy OT, and not introducing myself in the right place.

AWD, Sleeper, Torque Monsters FTMFW!

Yea man I never got a chance to run his 3000gt. It is halarious to talk about how bad he thinks he would beat us...We should have him come out to the track next friday and run with us. That would be priceless...I would have to get it on video.

We do have some sweet trucks :cool: your ride is pretty sweet to man. Sleeper blue station wagon with fat snails and AWD = nasty.

I think there are a few audio owners on here and I think people can appreciate your ride. Now if you posted up about how bad your Honda civic with a fart can on it...:rofl:

Anyone want to chime in on the outcome of this race between the jeep and boosted audi?

Looking foward to it. Should be a good time. Then after we race we can take our sleepers and show up some big headed stang and camaro owners...and maybe that funny guy in his "super fast" stock 3000 gt (not even a vr-4) haha

You will be one of the few people that understand my plate "S4 Bi-Bye":D
Ever thought about going stage 3?


Are you talking about kicking 3000gt butt or SRT butt? Very big difference.

Tones and I will post some results in the next week or two. Some digs, some low rolls, and some highway pulls. For some reason I think my weight, coeffcient, and gearing I might be able to take that highway;). From a dig should be a serious race though.

Your plate really says that? Focking awesome wynn. Majorly kick 3000gt butt. The srt will be close. I know you launch hard off the line. The SRT launches like a smacked up biotch off the line...sore neck sometimes haha and hold on the the wheel or bad things happen haha

From a dig will be a site to see...either way we both have bad rigs that will spank about anything off the line and leave them behind us for a good while.

From a roll the jeep is real strong from about 30 or 40. Highway roll ill be reading that plate of your bud

I have a front euro plate that reads "S4 Bi-Bye". Since S4's are German spec they have cutouts for their long ass plates on the front bumpers which is where I have it.

I applied for the vanity plate but since that takes a year, so I have awhile before I get the real deal.

IMO the S4 will kill the gt, But off the line i think the Jeep will take it, But then the S4 will walk byeeee, I dont have a S4 I have the Allroad Bi turbo, same engine but night and day, no mods and suffer's from turbo lag. I'll be doing some mods real soon, Chip , Exhaust and Intercoolers, Nothing to extreme, Since This is my Winter Beast.

Thanks for the input. I could just dump the **** out of my car and get some quattro loving and see how we would be from a dig then, but i'm not trying to break anything or ruin my clutch.

PM for info on mods or check out AZ. I can hook you up with some good stuff. I used to have the APR file on my car, its buttery/deceivingly smooth, prolly best choice for a winter beater.

GT S4's are no joke. Too bad a GT kit is like 15.5k, thats more than the value of an S4 now days. A K04 (what I have) powered S4, with a solid tune, can make a solid 450whp, similar to the one in the video above. Even though that one is getting its ass romped on, there is about nothing on the street that can hang with it.

WBSRT- What year is your car and is it 6-speed or tip? If its tip, going with AWE/GIAC, they have a nice "tip chip" which really improves performance for the tranny. If its 6 speed, GIAC has a more aggressive tune, which isn't as smooth as APRs, but GIAC also makes more power. No matter which you get, you will be astonished at the performance gains. You will add a solid 60-70 crank hp and a 70-80 crank tq. It's unbelievable.

My dad used to have a 320HP stealth twin turbo. Love that car. It was pretty fast in the day but the SRT8 would even smoke that thing anywhere. My dad drove my jeep a couple of weeks ago and agreed. You have nothing to worry about with the other. It's actually a waste of time and gas lol. You will have him wearing a bridal gown getting Ass Plowed in no time.
