Killed a 3000gt

Yeah, so last nite I was driving to my girlfriends house and this 3000 GT got up next to me. He slows down a bit...looks over at me and then punches it. I take the bait and floor it. By the end of 3rd gear I had already passed him and was about 1 1/2 cars ahead. I hit 90 and shut it down...all I could see were his headlights in my rearview.

I wanted to talk to him afterwards, but he made the first right hand turn to avoid me (im guessing)

Anyway, yeah..... Civic - 1 3000 GT - 0

Im sure there'll be more stories to come (Prelude race soon)

No idea but those things are mad heavy. We had one where I used to work, they used it as an ECU tester. My boss raced me in my civic, he won by a fender but my car was completely stock.

Nice kill though, bet he didn't expect to get burned so easily lol.

Racing a stock 3000GT is like racing a V6 Camaro. Heavy car small engine verse Light car with sizeable engine. Go figure.

nice kill! ... I stopped posting my war stories a long time ago ... I can't wait til somebody pulls a BS flag on you. So many stupid haters on this forum.

"there's no way you were even with an sti, it has 300 hp"
"there's no way you were even with an e46 m3 and I still wouldn't believe it if I saw the vids"

... ah, my favorite quotes.

Stock Base or SL model 3000GT had 220hp, but you figure its like a 10 yr old car its going to lose some hp.

From the website: http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/u...ex.cfm/id/2213

"Mitsubishi entered the sports-car arena with its new 2+2 sport coupe. The Dodge Stealth was mechanically identical. Base and midrange 3000GT models got a twin-cam, 24-valve 3.0-liter V6, rated at 222 horsepower. The flagship VR-4 had 4-wheel steering, permanent 4-wheel drive, and a twin-turbo engine with dual intercoolers that made 300 horsepower. "
