Is our car faster than a 7th gen gt? I was just looking at the specs and they only have 10 more hp than us(gt) and we have about 10 more Tq. So does anybosy know which is faster assuming that both were being driving my equal drivers. If im wrong on the specs can someone clarify.

Heh...never said it was great... just said its much better than 6th gens... very biased 6th gen owners seem to not want to acknowledge that.
They're better elsewhere also. "Elsewhere" the 7th gen GTS, called SS2 in Japan and Celica t-sport in the UK, are rated around 190 bhp... and the Beams 3sge (the vvti motor) is more fiction than fact. Many toyota enthusiasts doubt, along with myself, that the Beams 3sge can put out 190-200 bhp, as it's rated. They're actually closer to the mid 180s mark. Even still... vvti isn't what you think...and just because you mention it, I'll assume you don't know exactly what it does...
agreed... but it's far from the perfect car everyone here seems to play it as... I know why I like it...do you? What makes you think it's far better than a 7th gen GTS?
I guess you didn't read anything I wrote. To make it short and sweet... turbo is better than VVTi or VVTLi on the track...sure but depends in what car. I never said the GT-4 wasn't as good because it wasn't powerful. I said, it's not gonna win against a 7th gen GTS stock for stock in a track race, because it's nearly as well designed for such a thing. Kinda like, a tractor is never gonna beat a Saleen S7 in a drag race, cause it wasn't designed for such a task, however, you can drag race tractors... although the celicas are a closer match, and are not to that extreme. And if they were so good in rally, why'd they get pulled out by toyota and replaced by Corolla hatchbacks within a few years? Again, I'm not saying they weren't good (a 6th gen holds the pike's peak record as i recall), but I am saying, don't Immortalize somthing too much... when everything has obvious flaws.
