GT4s just aint all that unless you actually are going rallying...
It's too much of a serious car... An S16 you're able to explore the limits of the car without triple figure speeds... I've always said this about cars, Imprezas, Evos, stuff like that is ALL the same... If you're getting to the point where you're exploring the car on a public road, you're being f*cking stupid...
A friend of mine has an MR2 Turbo - same engine, admittedly RWD, but even so, it's probably ~320hp, but it's to the point where you put your foot down and instantly you're breaking the law... It's boring to me to have THAT much power with a chassis that can probably cope with another 100hp on top and still be within its comfort zone at 120mph+... I'd MUCH rather have a 306 where you can chuck it down twisties and if you want you can put your serious face on and attack it, if you want you can leave the throttle trailing and have the lovely french hatch-esque tail tuck in as you corner... At MUCH more legal speeds...
