The guy in the 3000GT was really cool i said i didn't want to race for money anymore and he was kinda disappointed since i made him drive a really long way to get to the road we were gonna race on. He said that was alright and said that he was gonna take it easy and wasn't gonna lauch and some other stuff about differential explosions from hard lauching. we raced on a road with a bump in the middle i picked it because i knew he would take me up top so we only got up to like 60-65 before shutting down. I had a really good launch and took off on him since he pretty much didn't launch it at all but he was already pulling on me by the upper end of 1st gear. He granny shifted it into second and caught up to me at about 45mph then he walked away slowly. My front bumper was at his door at 60ish and he was walking away from me faster. Then we had to slam on the brakes for the bump. We talked for a while and he gave me a ride in it and he is a really good driver he just didn't push it as hard as he could for the race since he doesn't like to beat on it all the time. Told me that he granny shifted second and i know he did cuz he was just messing around and pounded second and spun the tires and he deffinately didn't when we raced. It was soo much fun!!!

All you guys must have raced automatic 3000gt's because this one was definatley faster than an auto supra NA or a stick shift supra NA i have driven both now. I also looked at his odometer and he has almost 152,000miles on it i asked him about it and he says that the engine has never been rebuilt.

Only mods on the 3000GT are cat-back exhaust, open element air filter, ACT 2600 racing clutch. only weight reduction was 1/4 tank of gas and spare tire removed.
