GatorVR4,
Found that old Sep 91 Car and Driver issue. Tested and finish order:6th Audi 80, 5th Infiniti G20, 4th Subaru Legacy Sport, 3rd Acura Vigor, 2nd Galant VR4, 1st Maxima. No accounting for tastes on the Maxima that was only the 160hp version.
Car 0-30 0-60 0-100 1/4 mile top spd skidpd slalom
VR4 ...2.1..7.0..21.9..15.6@86..132mph..78..60.8
Maxima.2.6..8.0..24.7..16.4@85..128mph..79..60.4
Vigor..2.6..7.7..21.7..16.1@88..128mph..76..57.2
Legacy.2.3..7.9..23.9..16.4@85..126mph..81..60.0
G20....2.9..8.7..27.7..16.8@83..121mph..78..61.1
Didn't bother with slowpoke Audi. The prices back then were not a lot different than our SVT prices showing what a bargain our car's are.
Acura Vigor $23,575
Audi 80 $24,395
Galant VR4 $23,652
Maxima SE $22,790
Sube Legacy $20,702
Infiniti G20 $19,835

Yeah, I dug mine out too! Also dug out a Turbo magazine from Jan of last year. Dyno Cell 3 part article on the GVR4. MAd HP from it with three mods! K&N, downpipe and exhaust showed a 35hp gain and 55ft/lbs! All for under 800 bucks!
1991 GVR4
Lots of mods done.

It's still ugly.. I think Steve has the right idea with the Cobra, though I'm thinking about a 300ZX TT for myself.

I'm disappointed, Steve. We had discussed this. You were going to get the wagon option!

Thats cool if it's really what you want. Buying a V6 Mustang and putting the Cobra wheels, brakes and emblems on. But isn't that rice to do that?
