Selling fully loaded (when new) inside of $25,000, it's the poor man's Ferrari. The four-
banger base-model is a cheap little cutey-patootie coupe.
The 2.5-liter V-6 GT, however, is the most underappreciated sports
car of all time, largely because of the four-
banger models. It can, and routinely does, smoke its contemporaries, such as the 240sx, the Celica GT/GT-S, and the Honda
Civic or Acura Integra. To this day, the machine's reliability lets it take on modern-day cars, from the vaunted Mustang GT to the Civic Si.
Let's see some good ol' boy in some rustang take that. With his pathetic solid rear axle.
-It's
bad enough my Probe GT takes your Mustang GT in every handling category, but I
beat you in drag too. Why did you waste all that
money?
-Wow. The Ford Probe GT takes a lot of crap about the name, but no one ever wins against it in a race. Wonder why?
