You guys are missing out on one of my fav cars of all time. The Celica GT4
The only exterior mod i see is the lip on the front.. other than that the car looks lowered and thats it. The hood, spoiler and everything else you see is stock. Its such a shame they dont have them here....
The car is AWD, 2.0L, Turbo.

I think prob most of us know what it is... and there are some in the states actually I dont think they were shipped and sold here though not to mention we got a step into that since it shares teh same motor with the MR2 Turbo which is smaller lighter and just as good if not better at handling

yea the older gt four is in the states...theres a couple in my area...but this gen of the celica didnt come in awd turbo form here.

...easy enough to swap into the same gen Celica IMO. You can also get those in left hand drive too, right?
I do like those cars and it would be the only Celica I would buy.

But that one is AWD. So it wouldnt be the same if you just swapped them out.

...so is the Eclipse GSX as opposed to the Avenger/Sebring

Understood... but come on you seriously cant compare. The motors are different... the drivetrain is different too.
Not to mention it looks alot better stock

. I like my mr2 better, but of course im bias

ummm you do understand teh advenger is a different motor and drivetrain as well right??? then swaping in a 4G63T with AWD... its the same thing

Correct, that's all I was saying. You could easily swap in the drivetrain and motor from a GT4 just like you would swap in an EVO1-3 motor, body kit, and drivetrain into a Mitsu Mirage or like my car from a GSX
. You can either keep it a sleeper or add the GT4 body kit. I thought about once, but along the lines of what TE said, IMO, I'd rather have an MR2..it's not AWD, but still badass and one of my favorites
The US never gets the badass cars first hand, that sucks. We always get the tamed version and then the general US populace calls it stupid when the Euro versions are copied in the states.

after driving both awd and rwd, im actually liking the RWD better. And even better in this car cuz i can pull similiar 60 ft's with this as an AWD and then still have fun kickin it out and whatnot with the RWD

I LOVE RWD soo much. Fun car = RWD . Controlability = AWD.
Stock for stock i would take RWD...but for a high powered sports car AWD has to be my fav. My brother owned a viper for a while and got into some pretty sticky situations without even being on the gas AT ALL.... and before you ask he is not a ****ty driver.
