00 v6 auto vs 98 3000GT base auto
 
One of my friends just bought a 98 3000GT base model, in automatic transmission and wants to race me..

From teh interwebz.....this is what I gather:

Engine: 3L 6cyl 12V SOHC
HP (wheels):161 @ 5500rpm
LB/FT: 185 @ 4000rpm
Curb weight: 3,131 lbs
Front wheel drive

It has about 90,000 miles on it, bone stock.

And then my car which is just a 00 3.8L V6 auto with an aftermarket CAI, and has about 48,500 miles on it.

So....what are my chances? I do know that if it was anything but the base model i'd definately lose, and maybe even if his was manual he may win, but since it's base, has less torque and FWD, do I have a decent chance?

Just to inform you a 3000gt is not a 12valve and nore does the N/A verion only have 161hp! They are a 200hp car, I've seen several bone stock range from 230-265hp...stock! Also they weight 3800lbs, so good luck and not to be a dick but you will lose.

As for the VR4..they are not faster than a 03-04 cobra...280hp. The JDM model called the Mitsu GTO will beat a cobra but not the vr4's here in the states.

You're thinking of the SL, that's not the base model

There's Base, SL, and VR-4

Is the 3000gt thats near you Right hand drive? If so then i'de believe it does have 390hp due to being a Japan model GTO which are nasty but theres only a few that have been imported to the states. If it's a regular VR4 then it's not stock at all. We recently did some work to a '97 VR4: Turbo's, front-mount/hard piping, BOV, SAFC II, Boost controller, Exhaust and on 15psi it was making 384AWHP. Therefore the one near you if it's not RHD than it's highly modified!

are you talking about the one my friend has? It's left hand drive, like any other car in America...and it's FWD, with less than 170 hp

It's the base model, not a VR4..

Good luck with the race I give you the edge.

WHy does a guy with the sn stang00 have a civic??? Oh well I guess that's why he can't tell the difference between a JDM spec and a US spec car...:shakeno:

Bases are slow, put gears in your auto and kill it

mustangvsix 08-19-2006 07:25 PM

just race and find out...maybe we will find a car slower then ours, maybe not...:breakdancesmilie:

White04GT 08-20-2006 12:12 AM

I'm sorry but if you truely believe the 3000GT VR-4 is going to beat a stock 03-04 cobra you are a real idiot.
