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 . the sad part of this story is that the day that I got mine his broke and he never fixed it it just sits in a dirt lot w\weeds growing through the hood and no he said he would never sell it

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 *** 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 *** 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!
