Bitching about a 4g in a 3000GT

[IPD]

ATX sucks

Except for all the ones installed in any fast car other than Thadds.

That reminds me of Winston Churchill,

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried.

Still waiting for DSM owner reactions. I bet They'll go crazy like supra owners. 4G will be the new 2JZ can never lose. lol

Remember the thread about who has gone 200mph? The 4g63 has, in a 1/4 mile.

On a 1500lbs frame? What does that car makes? about 1200hp?

By no means do I speak for all DSM owners, but I completely agree with AudibleSilence. I think this was a cool project, but not really pratical for any other purpose then "I did it."

Coming from the 4g63 platform, the thing I saw most attracting about the 3000GT was that it was more of a sports car than the DSM and that it is a twin turbo V6. The 3000GT is amongst the RX-7, 300ZX, Supra, etc. But putting a 4g63 engine into kind of disgusts me.

But I haven’t gone through the hardships that may be present with the V6 engine, maybe in the future I’ll understand why someone would want the 4G63 in their 3000GT.

4g63 is one of the baddest engines out there no question asked, but it's still a 4 cylinder. More cylinder and displacements is always better. The downside of 6g is it cost a lot more than papular engines to make power since it takes two of everything and are expensive expensive since there are little to no competition in the aftermarket products so there are lack of r&d and high price of parts because of them being custom made.

Point is, if the 6g72 is so great, why aren't people swapping it into other chassis, and running 8's?

Actually, the dsm's are more of a sports car, the 3000gts are grand touring cars. Much nicer cars, but not sports cars.

So many people in here are sooooooooooooo butt hurt.

Why?

It's interesting that the "Internet mechanics" of the forum are the only ones insulting and complaining about this swap.

Lack of marketing. No shop has ever really made a big fuzz about their accomplishment. A stock internal 6g72 ran 9s on a ~3200lbs car. Imagine that on a 2000lbs car. lol Marketing your product around community where people are limited by their income and interest doesn't make you any famous or successful. You got to put the word out for people to see and draw interest in to the community. Why people ditch their supras and buying GT-Rs now? It's all in marketing and when people are drawn in the platform who want to spend money then the competition start between shops and R&D goes up and parts get cheaper. It's easy concept. lol VR38 needs so much more modification than 3000gt and so do their transmission, but people are just there to have fast cars. 3000gt is a little late in the game though. New cars are out and not many people want a 20 years old car that has not many options available to make it fast.
