I told you this before. You dont take out a loan to buy a car that is 15 years old. Do one project at a time, unless you have the cash already. ANYWAYS, although I love the 4G63 and it has way more potential then the 6G72 in the long run, the 6G72 has such a nice ammount of power from the factory. There aren't to many clean VR4s around and although I think about getting an EVO all the time (cause it's a better car for the $), I see 20 EVO's for every 1 VR4 I see. I think 2G VR4's are one of the best looking cars for it's time (same price range). The reason no one is in the 9's is because it's a lot easier to do in a Supra, Skyline or RX-7 and people haven't put the time an effort that people put into Supra's. In Japan a VR4 has the top speed record for it's class. Ray's car will be in the 9's shortly and is putting down 800AWHP!! Mike, at AAM, had the record for years on his 20G's (which are 2 big for his setup) and now 3 people have broken his record in 2005 alone. W/ Ray's stroker kit or the Montero 3.5L swap (or both :-) ), the potential for our cars will change a lot. They are still heavy, expensive to maintain and a pain to work on but they are such awesome cars. END OF RANT. BTW, since when are you so worried about running 9's? -David

Wow, you must really want someone to reply. I guess I've got nothing better to do.
You are absolutely correct with everything you said. However, roughly 9 out of 10 people are on a tight budget and 3000GT VR4s are definately not the way to go for those people. Those that you mentioned above have tons of money and time wrapped up in them that most people simply can't afford. Nick was also over-stressing the RARE issue with VR4s and they just aren't that rare. I would love to have a black 1G Stealth RT as they are my favorite, but it isn't in the cards right now. If I ever have one, all I'd do would add K/Ns, larger exhaust, and a mbc, plus some suspension and wheel/tire mods.
