300zx or 3000gt?

[Sunkenkarma]

Alright everytime, me and a certain friend get together, which is alot, it always comes up in our conversations, he is a big mitsubishi loyalist, and I consider myself a Nissan fanboy :goodjob: , anyways, he is always saying that a 3000gt Vr-4 is a much better all around car, than the 300zx Twin turbo. I cant find any videos of a race between the two, and Ive never seen either go head to head. Im sure the 300 would dominate the track, and the highway, and im sure the 3000gt would be a more desireable drag car with the AWD, the 300zx has a hard to work on engine bay, and the 3000gt weighs a considerable amount more than the 300, Ive also heard that Vr-4's arent all that reliable, but both are not your everyday cars. Someone clarify the subject for me, opinions are fine, just throw it out there, which you think is better and why.

i've always considered the vr-4 more of a grand tourer than a sports car.

[richbaker]

yeah i think that vr-4 is designed to be a grand tourer. that is all i can say about that thanks.

I have a friend with a Z32 TT and another with a VR-4. I've driven both, and I personally like the Nissan better. Mod for mod I think they're pretty much the same. Working on either one is a pain in the ass, and you can't nor will you make any serious power on stock twins.

They're both almost identical, power wise. They both have their ups and downs...

I'm a Rwd fan, so my pick would be the 300zx jmo.

i have to go with the vr4.......it is heavier i believe but i luv awd and aws

aws steering slows you down.

lulz. The 3kgt is a POS to work on, not to mention its DSM related. What a nightmare those cars are. If you HAVE to get either or, i would definitely get the Z. they are good cars, plenty of aftermarket, dont weigh 3800 lbs, get better MPG, look better imo and at the end of the day its not a Sh!tsubishi

doesnt the Z have it as well, HICUS? :D

tt does, my Na slicktop didn't.

My old RX-7 had it.....what a b!tch that was. If you held it right on the edge while cornering, it tried to correct for you.....sh!t was scary sometimes. Got rid of it with the bushing delete with a quickness :D

I say the VR-4 simply because it is differant and stands out. Look at it this way when was the last time u saw a beefed up VR-4 on the streets. I dont think i have ever seen one that has been in great shape most are beaten to death. They also run a 13.4 QM stock. for a few hundred buck ur in the 12's. But i also used to live about 3 miles from Z1 motorsports so i have seen my fair share of build 300zx's.

VR4 hands down..........and on the weight the huge awd vr4 only weighs 200 pounds more

[OneSlow5pt0]

also id call the 300zx a GT too

[Deke]

The 3kgt

For some reason this abbreviation irritates me greatly. How much effort did that save, honestly? :D

As for the cars I'm a fan of both. Another negative I didn't see mentioned about the VR4 is that I believe it has rather bad crash test ratings (don't be surprised if you end up with 2 broken legs). Sorry if this is inaccurate, I just seem to remember it from back when I was looking into getting one.

that is why i said

I saw 2 nice vr4's last weekend... on plesant hill... :)

3000gtvr4 ftw

[superboost]

300zx. The 3000gt would be the choise for a "different" car to mod, but sometimes being different for the sake of different (and thus difficult) does not help. They weigh about a million-billion pounds and most examples are all ragged out now. However, I give you more kudos if you mod one of those over the z. However, the lazy man in me would go for the Z just due to the fact that the VR4 gives a rotary a run for its money in terms of making you act as a mechanic.

I cant find the quote but "DSMs turning drivers into mechanics since 1989"
