Subject: Team3S: "Defying Its Weight"

I was ordering some stuff yesterday from Jeremy at Tallahassee
Mitsubishi.  He mentioned that he was recently flipping through a
performance magazine, and he saw a picture of a black 3000GT
VR4 with a sticker saying "Defying Its Weight."  He said that the
article mentioned that the car runs "10's at 100-something."  I
was, of course, very skeptical of those times, but I decided not
to argue with him (I already had a big argument with him since he
thought that active exhaust works like a straight pipe dump-tube
and a car won't pass emissions when it is turned on.)  Does anyone
know what car this was?  The picture was from a big track event.

BTW, good job at the track Mike!

And Bob, I'm very glad to hear that you didn't burn your
house/car down, and that your car is up and running again!

Subject: Team3S: Car buying service I'd recommend - Off topic

I just bought a Ford Explorer at the tissue price (dealers cost) no hidden
crap.
I expected a lot of dealer prep or mysterious add ons. To the contrary, a
clean straight foward deal. I got the prices off the Carprices.com and then
asked for a quote from AutoVantage.com. I could not match the AutoVantage's
price of Zero over invoice anywhere and I'm good at it. If your considering a
new purchase, check it out.
I'll be using the new explorer to tow my 91 VR-4 and taking it to another
level.
Can I consider the explorer a modification for my VR-4? (grin)

Be ready to total your Exploer soon b/c it lacks in the muscle to tow a
VR-4. Either go to a full-size truck or use a Grand Cherokee like Chris
Dotur.   I know of overheating probs w/ Explorers and hopefully your
money doesn't go down the drain on the purchase.

Hi Frank, on the Jeep...They look good but the Doctor next door has nothing
but problems with it. The dash electronics keep going on the blink. His
Limited is on a tow hook more then he can tow. What would you consider a full
size truck? I did not want anything big.
I guess a bit late but I'd still like to know.

Hi,

I was just wondering what do you think of a Jeep Cherokee (4.0L I-6) for
towing a VR-4.  My friend just bought a new ('99) cherokee to tow his 26
ft sail boat that weights about 5500lbs including the trailer.

Thanks,

Jose

This is a good additional 3S point of interest Jose...what is the total towing weight of a
Stealth TT or a VR4 TT once it is trailered?? AWD's do not take to 2 or 4 wheel towing, so
a trailer is a prerequisite...and that bumps up the towing weight a bit more than most
suburban assault vehicles can handle. My Brother in law says his Jeep Grande really isn't
equipped to handle his 5th wheel regardless of his add ons to assist in the towing, and is
trading it in on truck after 6 months of owning it.
