GT-4 vs GT, extra HP in GT-4 Options

[popstar]

You Guy's know all about weight and power ratio's and stuff like that !

so is a stock GT-4 really any more powerful than stock GT ?

A GT-4 has 250 ish bhp ! but the extra weight of the fwd running gear and the extra effort required to drive four wheels,
over just two wheels a stock GT (SS III) at 210 ish bhp !

i'm probable so wrong but i think the GT has got more power on the road..

So many guy's out here think the GT-4 four is such a quick car, and are supprised when (with my bad driving and such),there's not much in a head to head with a SS III.

I raced one of the lights the other week with no real conclusion due to trafffic and road conditions and care of our cars !!!!!

on paper in a straight drag, what are the facts, who will be quickest ??

anyone know ??

Take the pain? The thing that takes the pain is the road. That and the transmission. However, since the AWD tranny was meant for that, it wont break. I've never seen or heard of anyone in a AWD that broke their trannies because the wheels dont spin. I guess in my experience, I'd be more worried about burning the clutch out in a FWD trying to keep its tires on the road.

^^ I wrote that. And oh boy did people like to jump at it.

Ok, lets re-read it.

Did I say "I never saw anyone break an AWD under ANY situation" No. That WRX driver is a moron. I can also say that rotors dont have redlines, but I'm sure a moron with a rx7 can eventually break the no redline limit. I've owned AWD's. Launching a AWD at the proper max torque (NOT FRICKING REDLINE) and settin the car back without spinning the tires is normal. Nothing is gonna break. Its just as 'dangerous' as launching a FWD or RWD. Wheel spin doesn't release pressure. Spinning the tires releases pressure. So... If the tires are spinning out of control on the pavement making smoke or the tires are gripping and throwing the entire car forward like a bat outa hell - the effect is the same. You CANNOT break a AWD driftshaft because theres no 'wheelspin'. You CAN break it however, its not invincable. But before anyone else with no experience besides "my friends dad's got one" says anything, THINK.

Also, to add to Kwanza's battle in the last 2 pages. I said Kick - I did. What I meant was the feeling of power in the upper range. Kick comes from Lift. The reason you feel it 'kick' is because you are used to a sucky ass car. Sucky ass cars have power in the beginning through the mid RPM range and die. VVTi keeps the power going. So at 4500 when a normal car of the same attributes dies, your car is surprising and has oogles of power and oh boy its so fast. VVTi is great, but as stated creates no jump effect. What I meant by kick, again - since I may have caused this all, was the feeling of VVTi in the upper range since the lower range its less effective.
