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 ??

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) 

you were driving your 86 gt-4 with winter tires? the 86 gt 4 wasnt rated at 250 horse was it? wasnt it more like 225 or less? in fact the 86 is the fourth gen so a celica with a beams motor and your 86 gt4 are going to be very similar in power because the power rating on the older gt4's were lower. if it were a 94-99 gt-4 it would have pulled a lot harder. am i right or am i completely off the mark here?
