well, either way, i don't think you can classify the gt-four in with the st1 or the evo.
I know it was once in the rally with those other cars, but the celica is a 2-door sports car while those others are 4door sedans.....I must admit that i like the looks of both the wrx and the evo, but from the specs sheet i got from the dealer the other day, the evo is running at 19psi....and thats just pert damn near crazy on a mitsu motor, in stock form.....so i would imagine that subauru has there kinks out of the wrx, being that the evo is just in its 1st year over here in america with all that extra emissions stuff on it.......
but either way you are lookin at 250whp with both sti and evo and the price is pretty much the same, body is pretty much the same, so its just in your peference at which to buy....
i also tried out an evo, and it was hella fun!!!
the evo's do run a lot of boost.
i would prefer the STI, .5 liters more displacement and a boxter style engine

I'd rather have an evo over the sti, the sti seems more problematic from consumer reports.
never driven either (evo or gt-4), but i must say that I HIGHLY doubt thet the GT-4 could even compare to the evo or a wrx from today- I mean come on now, these cars are technological leaders right now, and the celica is 10 years old. Not to mention the fact that the celica gt-4 ST205 couldent compete in the WRC with the likes of the WRX back then (and rememebr that it was using an illegal air intake to boost its power, which was discoverd and lead to the ban of the use of the celica ST205 from WRC events for several odd years).... there really is no comparison. Dont get me wrong, im not saying the GT-4 is garbage or bad in any way, im just saying its outclassed when you compare it to a WRX or EVO.

I like the looks of the STI better, but the EVO drove much cleaner. Just everything seemed so much smoother in it, and Mitsubishi dealers normally don't get pissed about adding a turbo timer to your car to keep your turbo happy, but Subaru dealers do. A friend of mine got an STi, all he did was install a Turbo Timer...bam warranty is dead. 2 month old car.

Man, every time i see an EVO VIII i just stare at it cuz they look so mean for being stock, and are fast as hell. I cant wait to be able to afford a serious car like that someday with a stock turbo hopefully... >

time for me to swallow my own words..... K 2 celica is right, it was TTE that was banned, not the car itself. I am right about the WRX though.

> It was sooooo much fun....i think i scared the dealer guy sh**less! Then i got to wondering...I know that the EVo has around 270 hp and the gt-4 has 250...Has anyone test driven both of them, and if so are they anything alike?
