I was a little bored the other day and decided to go take a few test drives. I got to test drive the new evo VIII. OMG!!! tongue.gif It was sooooo much fun....i think i scared the dealer guy sh**less! Then i got to wondering...I know that the EVo has around 270 hp and the gt-4 has 250...Has anyone test driven both of them, and if so are they anything alike?

p.s. there is nothing like going 0-60 in 5 sec!! biggrin.gif

never driven either (evo or gt-4), but i must say that I HIGHLY doubt thet the GT-4 could even compare to the evo or a wrx from today- I mean come on now, these cars are technological leaders right now, and the celica is 10 years old. Not to mention the fact that the celica gt-4 ST205 couldent compete in the WRC with the likes of the WRX back then (and rememebr that it was using an illegal air intake to boost its power, which was discoverd and lead to the ban of the use of the celica ST205 from WRC events for several odd years).... there really is no comparison. Dont get me wrong, im not saying the GT-4 is garbage or bad in any way, im just saying its outclassed when you compare it to a WRX or EVO.

TTE was just padding its chances, and it wasnt the car that was banned, it was Toyota Team Europe that was banned. crafty europeans.... man i tell ya...

oh and there also was no WRX back then. they only had regular imprezas.

but i agree the evo IV owned the GT-4, 276BHP and a slimming 2976 LBS, 0-60 in 5.5, although its top speed was a depressing 112 MPH
