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`ve gotta agree with soundmangt4, the GT SSIII would not be able to give much of a challenge to a GT4, I`ve driven both, and own a GT4 st205 and was disapointed with the SSIII after driving it around for a couple of hours while I was shopping about for a new Celica, so brought the GT-4

As for launching a AWD/4WD car from redline, not good if you want your car to live long, I`ve seen a brand new Evo (less than 100 miles on the clock) destroy its gearbox doing this, actual pieces of it on the floor. I shouldnt imagine it would do too much good to a GT-4 either, I certainly wouldnt do it, no matter how tempting it is
