No GT4's in the US? Options

[94wrc]

Hello,

I have heard that for some reason you guys in the States are not allowed the GT-Four in it's standard form, is this correct? I heard that a lot of engines get shipped out for you to put into "normal" celica's. Does anyone know the reason you aren't allowed them? is it down to emissions?

Thanks

Nathan

The cobalt ss is no better than that damned srt-4

I'm pretty sure both these cars have Japanese influence. That's why I don't consider them. I know the SRT-4 has had a lot more builds than the Ecotec 4cylinder. But that Ecotech is really building a racing reputation. That thing is nice. But, I still think it doesn't count as a true American engine. And there will never again be a true American engine due to so much convergence in manufactures.

no no no no, the corvette it a verry well engineered car but the viper and saleen s7 are better, oh and the 5.0 plus is wrong the mustang rocks a 4.6

The Corvette is better than both the Viper and the Saleen S7 and the GT40. It's about cost effectiveness and what not. For the money, the Vette is a great car, especially now. The older ones weren't too great. You'll hear guys yack about the big block Vettes. That's a 454cupic inch 7.4 liter motor in that car. As far as the little 4.6 Mustang, they weren't so great. I don't hear a lot of Ford guys bragging about them. Most of the time they just want a bigger V8 in there. A 4.6 isn't much for an American V8. I'm no expert though, that's for sure. I only know what I've heard.

better engineered than a saleen s7 what, that happens to be the most aerodynamicly efficent production car ever. and the viper is way better engineered now-a-days, test drivers say it can corner like an elise, plus the heads were designed by lamborghini hello, and the new 4.6 in the mustang is 300 hp, i think that is enough
