I agree mostly with what Yuri says. Within a few minutes of being a passenger in a GT-4, I already experienced tire slippage. I figured it was probably a patch of loose tarmac that threw the car off a little after some aggressive maneuvering. Martin later explained that it was an intentional thing, I did not know a Celica could stick onto the road like that! I was extremely impressed. I realize there's a huge drivetrain difference between his and mine, but I could probably never match that in my Celica.
