If you can't afford an Evo, would you settle for a 3000GT VR-4?
 
^ 3.0L Twin-turbocharged and intercooled 6G72 V6, Active Aero System, Four-wheel steering, Four-wheel drive, 320 hp. Sounds fun.

I would go either with a 1g DSM or a Galant VR-4, but thats just me.

I you like 'em, get one

Does sound fun!! But No....too small of an interior...two doors.......interior gripes.....IMO

texasnoiz Nov 10, 2006 07:04 PM

hell no that thing is too heavy. looks too ancient...like the 88 supra.

Talon Nov 10, 2006 07:08 PM

VR4's are cool, but they weight like two tons. Plus, you seen the engine bay of one of those? Have fun working on it

mitsu_lover625 Nov 10, 2006 07:08 PM

It's still ahead of its time! How many cars today have four-wheel steering or an active aero system and can go from 0-60 in 4.8-5.1 seconds? Even the body design is modern enough to fit in!

I agree, the interior is way too small. Despite the fact a VR4 may be faster than an Evo, stock vs stock, I love the roominess of the Evo. Not to mention the evo looks 100% better inside and out.

slow_evo Nov 10, 2006 07:09 PM

eh. I'd take a civic hatch over that...

Arithmetic Nov 10, 2006 07:10 PM

Nope, I would go STi, Supra or RX7 (considering you want to stay in the boost game)

sleeperevo8 Nov 10, 2006 07:11 PM

i use to own one to heavy not easy to build hard as hell to wrk on and spendy on parts I'd go with first gen myself

Evo8yurAMG Nov 10, 2006 07:11 PM

so heavy. but if you like it, get it. you can always make up for weight with power.

Evo8yurAMG Nov 10, 2006 07:12 PM

1st gens are the way to go...mine was soooooo fun.

Blue Evo 8 Nov 10, 2006 07:22 PM

I vote for a 93-98 Supra TT

mitsu_lover625 Nov 10, 2006 07:23 PM

^ yeah, but a 3000GT VR-4 has a lower price these days. A good condition SUpra could go for $18k+. A 3000GT VR-4 with miles as low as 10-22k miles I've seen go for $5-10k
