6G Celicas Forums

What I mean't is in other countries people always put in GT-FOUR motors or want to import GT-FOURS. Yeah GT-FOURS are quite rare in NZ. There are lots of beams ones around coming in from the dealers at pretty good prices and also private sales I don't know what makes them rare. There was a GT-FOUR at a dealer with the spoiler removed that looked horrible and how could anyone remove that trademark wing.

Go SS III mate !

GT 4's are good, but not all that when yoou put them next to a Evo or scooby !!

but the Beams in a FWD is one hell of a car (as long as it's not auto!!!)
and you won't get all the stress from the boy racers at the lights.....

GT-Four.

But then again, Gary and I might just be biased

and actually they aren't that common, there's only 5000 real GT-Fours worldwide...

Finally SOME ONE steped out and said this..

Which part of this is most significant to you?

There are a lot more than 5000 GT4's mate, the one 6GC with a bit of rareity is the WRC model, of which 2,500 were built.
For me I would go GT4 every time over the SSIII as it has the total package and ticks every box
Power - check
Speed - check
Handeling - check
Stopping -check
4WD - check

Youve got to remember a lot of the ST205s - mine for instance - will be 12 years old this year and for their age are fantastic. Yes there are alot of newer models that can match and beat the 4 but if it was still in production today, would get my money yet again.
I maybe a little biased as an owner but I call it as I see it

Who says they lose to Scoobies?

Mine has beaten every WRX thrown at me - beaten Evo6, beaten a few STIs....

Ehmmm maybe some owners trying to compare Evo 7-8-9 and WRX 7-8 with ST205 of 1994-1999!!
Its hard for a Mitsubishi or Subaru owner to discover that Mitsubishi or Subaru just release a version newer than the one he is having now.....

... sorry don't quite follow what you're trying to say there...

doGGy as you know i own a '4' and wouldn't part with it for the world
but yes i'll step up and be counted as saying there not the be all and end all,
but blin there a damn nice car



i never said they loose to them, you just get a lot of attention from them
on the road.......
and when i'm not in the mood to play silly b*&^*s it really can get on your tits !!
oh they hold there own with all but the top of the ranges (depending on the driver)
but there over ten years old in design now..........

What i am trying to said is that Subaru and Mitsubishi are having new version almost once every year for Evo and Wrx

i think that i've opened a can of worms

maybe mate

but it good to get these things out in the open.........

is the SSIII stick or auto ??

yep she's Manual

well in that case mate, i'd have the SS III

cause with the fun i've not been having trying to keep an AWD on ice covered road
this winter..... when you start to slide you can try putting you foot down in to a nice power slide
but once you go, really go.......

in the summer

I recon a high powered FWD, 6 year old Celica would be the catch of the month mate

what's the milage on the two cars ??

53000 mls on the Beams,73000 on the GT4

so much of a muchness then really !

it's your call now mate, only one thing else white cars (SSIII) look lovely when there clean, but if she's your daily drive you'll be washing every other day if you like a clean car !

wahtever thou, i bet you end up with the '4'

you might be right

'The four is with you'

and once you've seen it there's no good back.

good luck mate, keep us posted on what one you get

GT4, turbo yuummmm
