    is it?

    i tend to think gte's shud be quicker - no cat. but then again some gsi's, came without cats... gsi engines are newer, therefore might be likely to be faster..? sods law mate. both are around 100bhp. no diff.

    if you take the cat of the GSI will it give it more power than the GTE?
    As GTE's don't have them in the first place do they?

    only the very late (ie 1993) gsis had the c16se with cat

    all the other oneshad e16se's just like the gte

    same car same engine

    gsi is slower to 60 due to extra weight from electric windows etc(not all gte's had these mind)

    gsi is faster top speed due to better areodynamics

    but your talking about 2mph and 0.1sec of a difference so its not gonna matter a fuck - better driver will win
