What makes the GT4 so great? Options

[Jeremy1210]

I've been thinking abotu the GT4 lately. What makes it so great? I mean you cna put the 3rd gen 3s into our celis and have the same power. Is it the fact that it is awd?

[Newbie]

Suspension, power, drivetrain... Looks. ^.^

Edit(add): Did you mean GT-Four, or Gran Turismo 4? I'm too tired, and don't feel like thinking.

yes

[x_itchy_b_x]

the
AWD in a celica does it for me.

[Watanbe88]

it isn't all engine, the AWD system and the superstrut suspension system it uses among other things.

[macavely]

its just cause we don't have it here in the States.... so its like the super hot girl that u see on TV.. u want her so bad cause u know u'll never have her....

because high power FWD sucks

i'd take the extra weight of AWD over FWD any day of the week. no point in having power if you cant use every drop of it.

What makes a GT4 so great ---
Having a car that hardly anyone else has, there are only 2 others in the city I live in, I like a car thats unique, scoobie`s etc there are hundreds of them, they are everywhere and nowhere near as nice as the Celica.
The fact that they handle great and really "Goes" when you put yer foot down.
Its my own personal Rally car.
It looks beautiful, I cant ever walk away from it without looking back.

The fact it goes like stink and can take on pretty much anything down a decent road.

what makes the gt4 so amazing? Beside the fact that it is in alot of video games, and the rarity of the celica. The awd system takes the trophy. But it is not your ordinary mazda awd minivan, it hand good handleing and a powerfull TURBO engine. The gt4 has stunning looks with 4 round head lights which set if off from the crowd. The curves, the lights, the sexiness, an amazing combination that pushes the envelopes of automotive design. How often do you see such a radical design, yet still keep a conservative feel? And the 6th gen look was created to commemorate the first gen celica.

Also not that at around 3100lbs I wouldn't call the gt4 a heavy car. And I have to agree, the car can take on anyone, if not because of power then because of handeling. I am running all-season radials and I was able to keep up w/ other cars on slicks and HP Summer Tires at an AutoX

[Supersprynt]

All im going to say to you Watan, is keep the car locked up.

Seriously, Im not that far; I will try to take it.

[Watanbe88]

Oh don't worry, I am the paranoid driver. but hey if your in the area, and want to meet up, she should be back on the road in april or the latest may. Having some new gear installed.

[Supersprynt]

I'll take a run at ya with the ol' GT2, see how they pair up. It would be an excellent experiment.

[SlowCelica94]

It's better looking, tighter suspension, AWD, and more power.

It's also going to be better in the snow and other ****ty conditions. Something about a rally car as beautiful as the GT4 is nice. I hear GT4's are a very easy to drive car

[nObOdy]

lol wow - Ok then! lol
i was hoping you might know where to get it for say maybe a GT??

[boosted_K2]

a dealership... check the sticky in exterior styling forum for part numbers. back on topic...

why does anyone yearn for any particular car... there a certain features that one is attracted to, and it differs for everyone...

for me it would be like getting my WRX only with a more reliable transmission and a bit of nestalgia getting the meaner version of my previous car... granted if i were able to buy a 2n-... well 3rd car, i dont think even a legalized GT4 would be my first choice. its an excellent car no doubt, but not something id give up what i already have for.
