Well I didnt have any spectators or passengers
But I reckon I was doing pretty well till I got to that corner
the guys behind me were in an AWD Subaru too... and it was like 30 seconds before they came into view after I crashed...

I know this much
GZE is easier to get parts for, apparently 20v parts can get a bit scarece on the ground at times. Depends on what u wanna pay on insurance too.
If ur gunna go for a turbo buildup later, go the GZE as its already setup for a lower compression. Not to say the 20v can't be used but.... meh
GZE u get power on tap from 0001 rpm, which is good, but limited as the supercharger also robs power from your engine to create boost. BUT the GZE has a soleniod that i can engage / diengage it with.
Personally I'd stick with something like a 16v 4A-GE, thow some cams into it, port it, ectractors, maybe a quad throttle body conversion and a haltech / motec / autronic ECU install, but thats just me

Yer? how much you reckon that all would cost for the 4age?? cheaper than doing the conversion with either a 20v or ze frontcut?
Yes, the torque of the ze is excellent. im just not sure if i wanna be opening my wallet all the time to pay for all the things that would probly go wrong because of the forced induction.
this is why 20v is apealing more to me atm....but torque would be nice... also cheaper insurance.

hmm... this is true.
But now that he's hit a nice guardrail, i think he's gonna steer clear of them
its a learning thing.
