I dont know much about vr4s, but I heard from a few people that they've topped out at 180 or so. (I didnt believe them). But yeah, whats the top speed on these cars? Just need a quick answer.

Galant or 3000gt? Neither will get close stock though.

172, 175, speedo indicated. That was with mbc, filter, gutted cats.
Factory they will do around 155mph in 4th (5spd) and slow down when shifting into 5th gear. They are geared to over 200mph, and a few have gone there with turbo upgrades.
galant vr4? lol, good luck hitting 145 stock.

Yeah, that was with your 13" Dayton gold spokes on though. That will throw the speedo off a bit! :p

I forgot there were two kinds of vr4s, haha. I'm talking about the 3000gt. I was on cardomain and read this guy's page and he was talking about all sorts of weird gadgets on these cars, like the handling stepping up a level once you reach a certain mph. Or the front low spoilers extracting at another mph range and the rear spoiler tilting itself at over 70, for more down force. Do they actually have these or is that guy just dumb. I wouldnt know, but it caught my eye when I read his page. I always thought they were just regular cars with no electronic stuff like that.

The 300GT VR4 had that aero package as an option. Mainly it was just a marketing ploy and didn't do much. It also added weight.

My car came with: electronically controlled exhaust (electric potato), electronically controlled suspension (good thing, switchable under push button, also under extreme handling conditions it would 'firm up'), digital a/c control/display, 4ws, abs, power all, etc.
The 3000gt's also had the active aero, doesn't work all that well, and since the banana spoiler is the most aerodynamically proven one (or so I've heard) kind of a waste.
fun cars, heavy as hell, but fun.
