Manual or Auto? Manuals are about .5 - 1 second quicker than the autos.
My 95 base auto ran 15.8@89.9 which was considered to be the fastest stock auto 3000GT.
SLs are slightly heavier than the base models... I'd say roughly low-mid 15s for a manual and low-mid 16s with the auto.

VR4s are obviously a dif story and run upper 13s - lower 14s stock.

I traded my 3000GT on my 2000 Lightning. Needless to say it's MUCH faster. ;)

You can get good reliable info from 3Si.org

stock vr-4 can do mid 13s the whole day,
SLs are rediculous slow due to FWD and weigt...

Oh yeah i saw a red '99 VR4 today. I've never seen a 99 3kGT, not to mention a VR4.
That anglular wing looks amazing :)

Are we talking the 160hp version or the 222hp one? Either way they're butt slow. I once saw a manual 222hp car break out of the 16's - that's the fastest I'd seen out of a stock non-VR4 3000GT. They're really quite pathetic for as good as they look.

A Turbo Beetle would win easily.

1991-1999 SL model - 222HP
1991-1993 VR4 - 300HP
1994-1999 VR4 - 320HP
2000 Lightning - 360HP ;)
