They are however more robust than the 94-99 models but this strength comes at the cost of weight. They can be made to go harder than a WRX but then again, the equivalent mods to a WRX will net better results due to the weight factor. As far as i see it, the only thing wrong with the 94-99 WRXs are the glass gearboxes and the fact that every man and his dog has one. This to me is why the GT-Four is a more desirable car! Quicker maybe, but the equivalent mods to a WRX may yield slightly better results, but the decrease in reliability is far greater. WRX's were basically built to save a company (subaru) from going under... 1. the engine was bought from BMW as subaru had nothing worth writing home about 2. the body design while fairly aggresive is uninspired and interior is cramped. 3. The Torsen AWD system was first employed by the ST185, 4 years before the first rex rolled off the production line. All awd subarus before this date were utilising viscous coupling awd. All this coupled with the fact that 15 y/o GT4's are rolling around in much better condition (paint, body, rattles, engine condition) then the majority of 10 y/o WRX's all points to an overall inferior product, but yes you are correct. in standard form they hit 0-100km/h 0.5 seconds faster than a 4. My point of '2 door WRX eaters' still stands as i was not referring only to 0-100 performance, but every factor of their overall design. [Report message to a moderator]
