6G Celicas Forums

Im new to this site and this is my first post, but I have been doing a lot of reading over the past few days and have learned a lot. I used to own an Eclipse RS until about 2 weeks ago when someone ran me off the road and I did 2 360's flew off a 25' embankment into the woods (the bastard didnt even stop). Needless to say the car is totaled and in the meantime Im driving my moms GT. As far as the performance comparison I think the celica definitely handles better stock for stock, but then again its hard for me to remember how my eclipse handled stock. As far as the performance my eclipse was definitely faster (15.46 w/ intake, exhaust and UDP). The celica has loads of torque when compared to mine, but the top end completely sucks. My car seemed to come alive around 3500rpm, felt like Vtec, and pulled all the way to its 7200rpm ignition cut. Right now Im searching for a replacement vehicle and since my car has been totaled Ive been borrowing my moms car and Im definitely impressed. Plus the option of putting the 3sgte into a celica would be cheaper than the money I was planning on spending on a turbo kit for my eclipse. That opens a whole new world of performance potential. I think that if I had the choice of another NA eclipse or a GT, Id go for the GT.
