Both for sure

But thats a hard one.
I would probably go GT-4,
but the ss-III is a very very close 2nd.

Beams if you want to be unique every man and his dog has or wants a GT-FOUR.

I absolutely love NA horse power. But I awd is a bigger passion of mne. I vote GT-4, even if everyone has one. Not everyone has one with 400hp. That's how you be unique.

I'd say get the SS-III.

I kinda realized alot of ST guys like the NA power vs. GT guys who like the AWD Turbo power.

Just in case SSIII comes with the LSD as stock... so the power delivery to the ground is wayyyyy better then on normal non LSD gearbox

Both cars are great and rare pieces

It depends what you like to drive and to feel too

1996 JDM GT4 = 4WD 255bhp
1999 Beams = 2WD 200bhp

How many ST205 GT-Fours have you seen in NZ - especially compared to EVOs and GTRs for example? And how many seriously modded GT-Fours here too? Could probably count them on one hand. They are not that common which is why I like owning one. It's different

What I mean't is in other countries people always put in GT-FOUR motors or want to import GT-FOURS. Yeah GT-FOURS are quite rare in NZ. There are lots of beams ones around coming in from the dealers at pretty good prices and also private sales I don't know what makes them rare. There was a GT-FOUR at a dealer with the spoiler removed that looked horrible and how could anyone remove that trademark wing.

Go SS III mate !

GT 4's are good, but not all that when yoou put them next to a Evo or scooby !!

but the Beams in a FWD is one hell of a car

(as long as it's not auto!!!)
and you won't get all the stress from the boy racers at the lights.....

GT-Four.

But then again, Gary and I might just be biased

and actually they aren't that common, there's only 5000 real GT-Fours worldwide...

There are a lot more than 5000 GT4's mate, the one 6GC with a bit of rareity is the WRC model, of which 2,500 were built.
For me I would go GT4 every time over the SSIII as it has the total package and ticks every box
Power - check
Speed - check
Handeling - check
Stopping -check
4WD - check

Youve got to remember a lot of the ST205s - mine for instance - will be 12 years old this year and for their age are fantastic. Yes there are alot of newer models that can match and beat the 4 but if it was still in production today, would get my money yet again.
I maybe a little biased as an owner but I call it as I see it

Who says they lose to Scoobies?

Mine has beaten every WRX thrown at me - beaten Evo6, beaten a few STIs....

Ehmmm maybe some owners trying to compare Evo 7-8-9 and WRX 7-8 with ST205 of 1994-1999!!
Its hard for a Mitsubishi or Subaru owner to discover that Mitsubishi or Subaru just release a version newer than the one he is having now.....

oh they hold there own with all but the top of the ranges (depending on the driver)
but there over ten years old in design now..........
