The vr4 was an still is a quick car. Weight is an issue but the car was designed for the GT class even though for it's time was compared to the ferrari, until other cars such as the 300zx,rx7 and supra came on the scene an became it's competitors. 6k is a great down payment for one in excellent condition, as for purchasing one for or around that price, consider work to be needed and possibly high mileage.

For $5k you would not want to get the vr4 even though I love em. Because if you want a completion car the vr4 needs some chunk of cash to support more power and it's transmission is it's weakness so performance will be a challenge, get a car cheap and get a swap or get a car with a ls1 engine and find a descent turbo kit since the ls1 is common.

RE:

Is a 1993 3000gt VR4 a fast car?

Im looking into buying a car and i have a budget of 6 grand ! I want a fast car that can be modded and i bumped into this 1993 3000gt vr4 and i was wondering if it was good. Please tell me any other fast stock cars .

The 3000GT Vr4 is considered fast, but it really isnt. It is FAR too heavy. And unreliable. Lots to go wrong.

Probably the fastest stock car you could buy for 6K would be a Camaro SS. Which will be faster in straight line than most other imports. The camaro is pretty easy to make into a very fast drag car.

They were fast...they aren't now.

Tons of mechanical issues with these...if it was well cared for it might be an option...but none of them are well cared for.
