Default Question for all of you......3000GT VR-4...VS.....

S4 with chip downpipe, exhaust, RS4 clutch.....The VR-4 has a chip, some people said upgraded turbos...nothin for sure. He ran a 69 Camaro with a 383 and beat him. What are the chances the S4 will hold a candle?

Racing AT sea level.....

They're fast out of the box, but heavy. It may just come down to driver. Can you row?

Default Camaros didn't have 383s, only Mopars did You have a chance against a VR4 with minor

mods but not with anything major. I've just been testing some out for possible purchase. Pretty inexpensive (compared to the S4) to get them to run fast.

Default I believe he is refering to a stroked 350......

And yes, Chevy does have a factory 383, but they are rare.

Default who chips a VR-4? are you sure he doesn't have a boost controller?

Chips don't do **** on those cars. With stock turbos and a boost controller and/or fuel controller, they get pretty stinking fast. Assuming equal drivers, I'd go with the VR-4.

Default You will never beat a modded VR4.. Even one with stock turbos and a boost controller.

My VR4 does a 11.5 1/4 mile on pump gas, with only 3500 dollars in mods.

Default I stand corrected. I figured it could be a stroker but that was not a common

displacement for a stroked engine in that year.
