Welcome to the site! I think the GT4 is better because its a more practical car. More passenger room, storage, etc... But don't know which is better performance wise... I know the others on the site could tell ya >>

welcome to the site

as for the gt-four vs mr2 question. I think it would be pretty hard for most of us to make this judgement call as we don't have gt-four's this side of the pond >>

from driving mr2s they are awesome cars but my gut instinct tells me I would prefer the gt-four. turbo, awd, with the 6g looks to boot... whats not to love?

Yeah, it's close. The MR2 is RWD tho; which sometimes you prefer over AWD depending on what you're going to do. But the GT4 is AWD.. you get my meaning. >>

Also, the MR2 comes with targa tops (which leak constantly I hear) while the GT4 only comes with a sunroof.

The GT4 holds 4 people, the MR2 does not.

On the MR2 you can get dual exhaust that WORKS! >>

the T-top thing is kind of a myth... alot of them have it, but its because of poor maintanence more than a chronic problem, if people let their cars sit outside for long periods of time the seals tend to get brittle and crack. mine has no leak problems.

personally my view:
MR2 = race car, its a purpose built vehicle
GT4 = anything you want it to be

so to sum it up, the GT4 is the multi purpose car, it can do what you want and then some. the MR2 you better have a plan for and modify it (or not) towards that plan, otherwise you will end up with a headache.

hmm.. seems alittle too expensive.. but hey.. GT4 itself looks Hot... don't need no body kits.... you know how many people over here wish their 6gen's a GT4 and how many people made their car to look like a GT4 lol....

i was hooking up just as well if not better than the AWD cars at the last autocross. i love Mid engine with LSD >> my buddy travis who has an alltrac was getting GREAT launches too, though on the track his tires were rolling over on the sidewall a bit b/c hes still running the factory 15s with pretty used tires. the WRX guys were impressed with 2 cars a decade old doing so well >> go toyota!

aye i was quite surprised to find out that USA doesnt have the GT4, seems odd to me considering u got the supra twin turbo etc, i gotta see if i can find the veilside kit cheaper than that tho, cuz thats just daylight robbery lol.
