GT-4 vs GT, extra HP in GT-4 Options

[popstar]

You Guy's know all about weight and power ratio's and stuff like that !

so is a stock GT-4 really any more powerful than stock GT ?

A GT-4 has 250 ish bhp ! but the extra weight of the fwd running gear and the extra effort required to drive four wheels,
over just two wheels a stock GT (SS III) at 210 ish bhp !

i'm probable so wrong but i think the GT has got more power on the road..

So many guy's out here think the GT-4 four is such a quick car, and are supprised when (with my bad driving and such),there's not much in a head to head with a SS III.

I raced one of the lights the other week with no real conclusion due to trafffic and road conditions and care of our cars !!!!!

on paper in a straight drag, what are the facts, who will be quickest ??

anyone know ??

Thanks guy's

it's still not answered the question on paper, but yeah it was pritty much as doGGy said, but we cooled it at 165km/h.... the road were wet from melted snow and not in good repair as most are over here...

2 turboinduction.
i don't know if it was a red top or black i never spoke with the driver of the SS III but it was a late model 'beams' imported, so i think it was the 210 bhp...
I was driving 'my' 1986 GT-Four (with winter tires)

As for what cars are called in the US and how there called in the rest of the world, sorry,
but for some of us out here just driving celica and not in the know .... maybe someone can make a break down of the different cars and engins through the US, Japan and the export market 'so we're all singing of the same song sheet' in furture. this could be something very usefull to a lot people looking on this site !!!

An lastly i might be new to this site but i've had 4 different celica in four different generations over the last 18 years.......... and i still love my first twin cam 20lt lift back 2nd gen !!!!
