My friend got one in 94. A 93 V/R Touring... After I drove it I knew SOMEDAY I would own one.



I do now, and the thrill is still there.. Even though I have to play a tape of the exhaust revving while I sit in it and tug on the steering wheel in the garage... cause the engine is out... LOL

The first one I drove was when I was looking for my FD, that one acctually had something wrong in the tranny. I got so mad it just wouldn't go into gear and the seller ended up driving it back. BUt like a week later i drove the one I wow now. I started it is sounded so good and then when I drove it the clutch felt so much nicer than the first one. Before I drove the car off the lot for the test drive I told the guy I wanted to buy it.

When we got on the freeway the guy asked me if i was gonna get the turos going or not so that when I stepped on it for the first time. I had to buy it. I guess the feeling of the racing clutch is way better the the first car.

I drove one for the first time when a friend of mine brought his to my house.

I was getting ready to go over my new girl friends house but when he said I could drive it that took prescedence over girls!!. after that I was hooked and bought my own a month later, with 4 flat tires, a blown motor and turbos for 11,800 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif . the sad part of this story is that the day that I got mine his broke and he never fixed it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png it just sits in a dirt lot w\weeds growing through the hood https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif and no he said he would never sell it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

Mine was last year at about September. I was approaching the amount of money I needed to get one, so I went ahead to a dealer I found on a magazine add and drove one. It was a VR R1 stock, never grinded a gear, but I did stall it 10 seconds after I started it up.



The thing was that I was stunned by the engine sound and exhaust note that I just kinda drifted and let the clutch slip. Yeah, I know it was stock, but I was in shock and never heard anything that sweet!!!

I drove all the way from Colorado Springs to Houston to test drive the first FD I drove. My friend and I took it out for about 15 minutes and while we were gone I launched hard from a light to make a left turn and thought "WOW", then I looked in the rear view and saw a cop fly up behind me. He saw me haul ass around that corner but I never broke the speed limit so he kept a really close eye on me for the next few blocks. Thank goodness the FD sticks so well to the ground, just about any other car would have been sliding the ass around and I would have had a ticket in somebody elses car! My bank screwed me when I tried to get that one though, so I had to wait for the next one to come along a few months later.

When someone on the board lets me drive theirs, I'll let you know what I think of it!
