To those 'in the know' that is a very cool car yes

I don't buy Evo anymore but didn't one of the writers buy a later shape version?

Not sure on the Evo connection, but the later ST205 GT4 is meant to be the better car than the one I posted, an ST185. However, it's the ST185 or 165 for me, out of the three.

the ST205 had a better version of the 3SGTE. CT20b turbo and metal head gasket meant it was less prone to HG failure and also revs out much better. the old CT26 engined cars run out of puff around 6k rpm.

Just my ownership experience anyway.

yes I remember it well...

My car magazines are all about to go into their new shelves (having spent the last 6 year sitting in old boxes or in piles on the floor) - by the end of this year, I should have them ordered and in their boxes and at my fingertips - can't wait!!! smile

I never remember the GT4 in that one unless it was a counterpoint at the end
