Hi guys,
Thinking of getting an early GTO Twin Turbo - around a J plate, just wondering if any1 has or had one? what are they like in comparison to a 93/94 WRX by means of performance/reliability/drive and value, common faults??
.... Oh its a manual that i'm after...

Thanks in advance.

performance isnt as good as an impreza, 0-60 is poor but same top end as scooby.

the 3000 gt vr 4 is 0-60 is 5.4 seconds, top speed around 160mph, wicked cars.

From what i've seen slow and clumbersome.

So a 320bhp twin turbo monster is no match for a 208bhp WRX?

ok.

pffft dunno what they are talking about, monsters but they leave the driver a bit detatched.

Lots of drver ainds etc, but a quick car.

They are nice cars (especially in the looks) but wont set any pants on fire in the driving department - despite their appearance i'd say they were more of a grand tourer ala XK8 rival than a sportscar ala 911, but if thats what you are looking for then its ideal! If not and you still want something as rare and japanese, try a supra tt or RX7, all around the same price.

no such car as a 208bhp WRX. UK turbo's had 208... I need to get out more...

Much quicker than an impreza turbo. A WRX (import) would be quicker but has a similar power output (240 vs 280) and is half the size.

Good cars, handle well go well. The car does do a lot for you but with the roads as they are today maybe not such a bad thing.

They had a facelift in 94 and look much better IMO.

image doctor i was referrin to 0-60 not handling etc, ive read they are about 6sec to 60 which sounds slow to me. if theyre not then ill eat my words.
