Check out this link. its a review about a gt4 and its handling - it gets sort of slated -I dont understand all the technical jargon - (i learn when i need to), thought some of u guys might find it interesting :

very interesting.. i always knew summat was up with the handling on my car.. off to the garage it is.

So what do people think - is it true or is he talking ***** ???. I was always told the gt4's handling was really good. Have any of these problems been rectified in the later models or the CS ???.

<_<

Well to be perfectly honest, in my opinion, I`ve found that my GT-4 understeers like the QE2, Rolls like a pig and wears tyres like they`re going out of fashion. But i still love it to bits.

But lets look at it logically. The running gear and basic design goes back 17-18 years to the ST165 so it`s getting on a bit. (Good in it`s day tho)

As with most cars it`s built to a price. Has to be. I dont think Carlos Sainz could have won anything with a standard ST185 and i dont think the car buying public would pay £150,000+ for a replica rally car.

It`s all about compromise. There are plenty of products on the market that will enable you to have a Safe, Fast, Good handling car and still be cheaper than buying a new one.

Really is a case of how far do you want to go and how deep are your pockets.

Fantastic cars... Just need a bit of fettlin.... Enjoy. :D :D :D

Not a bad read......I'd expect an ST185 GT-4 to eat a GTX Laser & the VR4 is even heavier than a GT-4.
