ok u hear alot of info about the vr4 and most of it is correct.
i was a HUGE fan of those cars and researched the HELL outta them. i looked into everything about those cars.
91-93 vr4 300 hp 5spd AWD with active aero spoiler(front and rear) the car ran a 13.9 best STOCK. most drivers hit around 14.2-14.5 with them.
94-95 vr4 300hp AWD 5spd, looks changed, no pop up lights. car still had front and rear active aero.
96-99 vr4 320hp(conservative figure) AWD 6spd, no longer had active aero but was quicker and could run 13.7 best in the 1/4 mile.
those cars also had sport electronic controlled
suspension which would ajust automatically between sport and regular settings....
as for the AWD its not the best for dragging... rwd is the best and a good driver on a rwd car will win off the line everytime if the cars have similar power.... the vr4's can be quick and with just exhaust, intake, and downpipe those things can hit low 13's. put a boost controller on it and those things hauled. only problem is they were built like junk. altho the stealth is a worse car... true the engines are the same but the tranny was horrible.
in this race i have to give the nod EASILY to the vr4 IF the kid is a good driver.
