Celica GT4's - whats the story with performance! Sun, 08 February 2004 04:42 Go to previous message
Hi
I have been trying to decide with a purchase between a 1991 Toyota Celica GT4 ST185 2litre turbo (huge stock turbo) VS a 1993 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR 1.8litre Turbo (tiny stock turbo).

Over the past 2 weeks I have driven 5 GT4s ranging from ones which are complete stock to ones with Computer management, water intercooled, higher boost.

Anyway - I am sooooo disappointed with performance. I found all the GT4s to be slow and laggy. With such a huge stock turbo and a 2litre block - why are they such a poor performer.

I ended up buying a GSR purely because it out did the GT4 in acceleration, handling and overall.

Can someone find me a GT4 - a road registered model which does quarters in 13's or 14's and that is faster than a stock GSR. I could not find one!

This is not a slag on GT4's because I wanted one badly, but could not rationalise the purchase against the GSR.

Please people - tell me why!
