Was in a ST185. It was a 2nd gen with a CT20B nothing crazy making around 130kW i think he said. I rekon it was pretty slow for a 3sgte in general but it felt around what he said (130kW) . I dont know... always assumed a stock 3sgte still would been FAST! Maybe i have high standards for a turboed engine. He was able to slide the car about on roundabouts and keep the car in very good control i guess thats the perks on AWD. This is with poor tyres mind you.

yeah, the extra drivetrain and taller gears make the gt-four feel a bit slower at the start. that was my first impression too. also the fact that 5th gens are slightly heavier. but did it still feel slower to you after hitting boost? cuz thats where the fun starts. i still think for daily driving, gt-fours are better suited with a supercharged v6 or v8 in it... more torque in the lower revs..
