hey yall...just got rid of my 2000 prelude and UPGRADED to a 96 3000gt sl....it is unfortuatlly an automatic....im used to preludes and am well informed in that area...i need some information on my new ride...even tho it is an auto with 222hp and 205flbtq what is the 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times for this auto beauty

 

most websites say that it runs an 8.5 0-60 and a 16.4 1/4 mile. but it's not at all accurate! i ran a 7.5 0-60 in my 1993 automatic and they can easily run low to mid 15's in the 1/4 mile. you shouldve tried to find a 1st generation vr4. that runs 5sec 0-60 and low 13's!

 

so is there any difference in our 3000gt's both auto same hp and tq??

 

also what is the stock whp and wtq for the 96 auto sl

 

if its a sohc it only has 160 hp and its crap....

dohc has 222hp....the manual's are quicker then the autos.

the vr-4 is the best versian of the 3000gt...its the same dohc 6g72 with twin turbos.

 

like maybe 165 whp.

 

thanks guys i got the 96 dohc with 22hp...damn tho only 165whp why so little ?

 

every car on the planet has a huge decrease in power from the crank to the wheels....its normal for any car.

 

Come on guys! Read the reviews and specs. They are still found on-line. The weakest engine is the base model which came out in 97 or 98 at 165HP + or -. All SL's had 222HP, and the early VR-4's had 300HP compared to 320HP in the 2nd generation up. All HP ratings are "at the wheels". Even the base model isn't bad because it is lighter than the VR-4. And, with a little extras like cold air intake and test pipe, you can boost the HP to about 195.

 

I didnt really think the 3kGT VR4 had 320bhp... Seems like an overestimate, to me...
Love the new sig though.
