3000gt Sl and SVX

Post by dzx »

I've raced two 3000gt Sl's, one was a friend and the other was some random guy on the highway who gave me a thumbs up after i beat him. I've found that my friend's svx which is pretty slow 0-60 is actually faster than a 3000gt sl up high. Whereas i was easily pulling away from the 3000gt's even at 60-70 mph start, i was just barely pulling on my friend's svx. When i say barely, i mean inching. When 0-60 none of them really stand a chance, especially with the wheelspin the 3000gt fwd has. Just found it interesting...that' :roll: s all

the svx's are not too good at lower speeds. Get them up to highway speeds, and they haul major ass and just keep going and going.

I've got a friend with 3 svx's, one of which is a 5 speed. I've raced all of them at one point or another, its so funny to shut down at about 75-80 when he's finally about to CHARGE past me. i get a good leap on him at starts. SVX's accel at about the same rate regardless of their speed, it's strange to drive them.
