So It seems we have another real st205 in the states. There is a local shop around here that is known for importing cars. A few weeks ago they brought over a black gtfour with the original 3 spoke wheels (from what ive been told). I called them up today, and verified this story, however they informed me that the car was sold about 2 weeks ago. Seems another shop just a few blocks from them bought the car. They said that if I stop buy they could have the other shop bring the car over for me to check out, so I'll try to get some pics of it.
The guy also mentioned that there are two more in a lot in japan that he is thinking of importing. He's asking price is around 14grand. This post has been edited by lagos: Nov 11, 2008 - 8:11 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Emissions is a big reason they are illegal. Japan apparently has lower emissions standards than the US, and especially California. Plus real GT4's are RHD, whereas our USDM cars are LHD. Plus America gets the shaft on all the best cars
 I know there are more reasons why the GT4 is illegal but I haven't slept well in days and I can't think of anything right now.
