in the US the GT is the 5sfe, in the UK and everywhere else in the world (besides maybe canada ) they are 3sge, once again we got the shaft -------------------- Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm...

Yeah, ive often thought the same.......you'd think it would be a lot cheaper to make all GT's with the 3sge engine instead of two different runs of the same model.... Oh well, im with K2 with wishing that my celica = GT-4 -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

well the reason for not putting the 3sge in the US celica is the fuel economy. americans want good fuel economy, becuase we drive SO much more than people elsewhere in the world. the US just isn't the market to push a lot of sports cars. one or two is ok, but i'm sure toyota didn't want to distract supra and mr2 potential owners with a cheaper powerful car. -------------------- 1994 Lexus ES300

Realistically, they should have put the 4agze in the ST and the3sge in the GT. I mean, honestly, why did our celicas turn into econo boxes in the mid 90's?

What was the "slight distraction at 90mph"? Seriously though some people total their cars over crazy s**t... cigarette ash on the crotch, spiders hangin from the sunvisor....a friend of mine done his car while trying to read a chinese takeaway order off a menu on his mobile phone... |

I was on the motorway (or highway..................whatever), and i saw a Yellow Ferrari 360 Modena on the other side, obviously i looked - and the rest is history!
Im happy with the 3sge under the bonnet- anyway, insurance is a bitch and in the UK it would cost me more to insure a GT4 than to buy one!! -------------------- 1996 UK white ST205
