If you buy a standard 4, splash out and put the lightweight Group A alloy bumpers on front and rear. This will take 60kg off straight away! (ever notice how having your mate in the car bogs you down??? how heavy is he or she???) what about a full tank of juice to add a damper to performance?? now tell me thats not the easiest mod ever, not ejecting your mates or fuel...the bumpers! Like you'll hear from lots of people, the standard GT4 is heavy and until really pushed you'll never appreciate it. It likes being driven fast and hard and by f**ng golly it'll take it. It's not until you push the bastards to beyond their limits until you realise the potential of this fine rally car...it will never be a city street light drag zipper machine....unless you mod it or do the greabox ratio mod on a Group A hehe Having said that, they are quite easy to mod and make them haul ass and handle well. Outta the box the standard 4 handles like SHITE! springs, sway bar, shocks and a front camber kit will see it out handle a lot of cars and I'll do another City to surf cruise to prove it again...and that was with 3½ cylinders. I'm am lucky to own a Group A but luck played no part in my descision to finally get one. They are much lighter, have fuel maps to 18psi, have better gearboxes, shifters, power, water to air IC. looks, water sprayers, standard Group A suspension was better, it's a collectors item, blah blah blah. I turned my baby down to 14 psi now because my wife hates fast driving (damn handbrake! she had me fooled until the ring went on!!!) and it still cracks. But it's not until you get over 12-13psi before it starts to crack. Big difference from 10psi! Another misconception is putting a massive turbo on it. Avoid the lag. The CT26 spools up nice and gives the right torque down low when you up the boost and let it breathe with headers, a dump pipe and system. I do like the sound of a RWD twin Turbo GT4 though...I would predict a very stable and controllable drifter for sure. [Report message to a moderator]
