Loving the gt-four and the black jdm. They'd look the nuts parked next to each other on the drive.

I would say that the Celica feels heavier and more solid, more along the lines of a bugeye. That's not surprising though as it is heavier and a bit more solidly built from an interior point of view. The Celica was great but I think I would enjoy the classic more for pure driving fun.

Depends on the power, at standard it would be slower than a JDM and probably about the same as a UK 2000 Turbo. I had mine upped to 294bhp and 278lb/ft with a few mods but largely due to upping the boost. It was pretty quick.

My old ST205 GT4 was reg plate M845 XTM so must of been registered similar time and place!!
The GT4's don't "feel" as quick as they are carring extra weight compared to a Scoob.
I did a 13.1 1/4 mile with around 300bhp in my old Celica so they aren't too bad! I then upped the power a bit more and turned it into a Sprint Series car.

I got a 14.1 from mine when it was basically running standard power.
