VR4 on E-Bay

[nick-f1]

I think Kierans and BDA's points are most relevant and whether a VR4 / Legnum is a sports car is academic. You are not comparing like for like and its down to want you want from a car, the 200sx sucks- its sh**e ( sorry Jimbo )and is made from bean tins! We can argue all day but for me my Legnum vr4 is the perfect car, a stealth-mobile and even my nephew is jealous in some respects and he drives a nissan 300zx twin turbo! For my two pennyworth anyway you can keep your coupes........... unless its a Dodge Viper of course :$

I noticed the VR-4 was heavier than I was expecting, the turning circle is/can be a pain. However the VR-4 has it's good points, compared to other cars here in New Zealand.

We have a lot of 4-door V8's here. (i.e. www.holden.com.au, www.ford.com.au), heaps of power, but no roadholding. Owners I know, complain of no traction, can't get the power down, use gallons of petrol and make a VR-4 look economical (e.g. 20-25 litres per 100 km)

You can compare up againsts Commodores/Monaros and Falcons, or down with EVO's and WRX's. The VR-4 can out-handle a Commodore/Falcon and out cruise an EVO/WRX. A good compromose for most.

As I said previously; This is a "Gentleman's EVO" an audacious "Sports Sedan"

PS: These are my categories of cars

Sportscar: Lightweight two-seaters: Elise, MX-5, MR-2, S2000, etc
Rally Car: Small, Agile sedans; WRX, EVO, etc.
GT Car: Large two-seaters: Astons, Ferrari 456, 550, etc, GTO, Supra, RX-7, etc.
Sports Sedan: 4-door/4-seaters: VR-4, M5, Commodore/Falcon, Legacys, S60Rs, AMG Mercs, etc.
Super Car: Lamborghini, Ferrari F40/F50, McLaren, etc.

While they are all cars and could be considered sports, I believe we need some definition here.

An excellent summary, thanks Richard!!!
