The quoted figures on GT4's are a bit hit and miss. The ST205 was quoted 239bhp and 224lb/ft on the UK car and 255bhp and 224lb/ft on the JDM.
Mine is totally standard and has 100, 000miles on it and got 260bhp and 253lb/ft at the Pulsar RR day at Prosport. I only had it a couple of days at the time and it was misfiring big time and needed a service. All sorted now so god knows what it has.
Here is a "Best Motoring" clip. I need to find the full video.

People go on about them being heavy but they are 1380kg which is lighter than todays evos and scoobies I think (???)
Handling is fantastic with 50/50 torque split and a rear lsd and a viscous centre diff.
Brakes are amazing. The only production car at the time to have a shorter stopping distance was the Mazda RX7 (3ft shorter).
For 1/4mile then the GTiR would get my vote.
For driving then the GT4 is far better to be sat in.
