+ you can always upgrade past what the VR-4 has stock.
+ your car is lighter than the VR-4.
+ cheaper insurance.

yea my boyfriend is thinking about doing the single turbo for his base 3000gt. it definitely has its advantages over the vr-4...but you just have to decide what it is you really want.

tropic is an unknown quantity at this point

...

also not only its cheaper insurance.....depending on what type of car parts you get...the n/a parts would be a little cheaper than buying parts for a turbo BUT having a car that already comes with a stock turbo IS better due to the fact that you dont really need to get that motor turboed ready....unless if you upgrade the turbo parts i.e...turbo itself....intercooler....etc....but i would rather do a N/A set up...for insurance reasons.....besides you could always go back to being n/a if you decide to get rid of the turbo....(not like many peeps would actually do it)....

heres a thought....i have a 99 accord and a 01 integra....my insurance is $130 a month for full coverage plus other incentives that i got with it....

how much would a turbo car be on insurance that has full coverage and some other incentives added also?
