Isn't it kind of strange that not one, not two, but almost every magazine comparison put the VR-4 in last place...?? Maybe the VR-4 is at fault..

NOMIEZVR-4 takes it up the ass for M3's!






Just Kidding

Just my opinion but car and driver seems to think that AWD is cheating, not a true driving expereince unless you are a ralley driver. I bet i could take the exact same VR-4 that they drag test and drop 1/2 second off thier times, most tests have the time over 14 seconds. Our cars take a little skill to launch, they drive a little differnt than RWD cars so they tend to get ignored.

A lighter car like an M3 probably has a lot crisper handling and better road feel, Even if I could turn a faster lap in a VR-4 its not what they want to drive so it looses comparisons.

But personally I like surprisingthe crap out of other drivers at drag strips and road courses, If I loose to a Viper everyone acts like the HeavyWeight championof the world just beat me in a street fight, nobody cares, But If I beat a Viper everyone is shocked and amazed. I can't loose
