Define good. Swap a 2zz in it and its way fun. Its light and handles like a dream. Kinda lacks in the power department but oh well. Still fun in my opinion.

[jdg371]

[rspjean]

I think the stock ST is rated at 115 hp at the crank. GT is 135.

^were talking 7th gens

he asked how much his celica had. and under his username it says he has a 94 ST... unless I missed something

[devilsden97]

oh...lol im slow sorry.


118hp at the crank, like 78hp at the wheels (celicagirl2000) dynoed her st stock and with nos shots.

[rspjean]

i have an stx is there any diffrence? by the way i put st because there was no stx in the choices

[j0e_p3t]

no difference under the hood. but you should consider yourself lucky. if you had gotten a 96+ st, you'd only have 105 hp.

[rspjean]

omg

[rspjean]

ive been debating which car to get and its come down to A) 2005 celica gt but its automatic B) scion tc from dealer C) MR2 SPYDER what do u guys think ? right now im kinda leaning toward mr2 just cuz i saw one in my drive way today....my dads girlfriends car sadly doh i wasnt able to drive it he had to leave

[SinisterWhisper]

Id get an mr2 and do an engine swap down the road. They are the best handling of all the gens just a bit underpowered in stock form.

[gt_driFFter]

MR2 isn't really practical as far as space goes but it's a great driver's car and really fun.

[6strngs]

you know... for about the same price as these, you could have a GT-four imported? just find that thread in general discussion.

[Benevolence]

id go for the spyder or the tc... depends if ya need the backseat or extra space.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

I loveee the MR2 Spyder. I want a white vert with leather seats mmm i love it

Don't forget about the 117 ft lbs of screaming torque at 2800RPM.

[jdg371]

it screams? wow.. when im at full throttle.. nothing screams in my car..

[quicknstyle]

anyone read the article in the new super street about the mr2 spyder with a honda k-series swap? the guy said that with basic bolt ons, it felt faster than when he had the mr2 turboed... sweet ass sweet... those k series motors are some bad ass mofos

yeah a friend of mines told me that..unbelievable...

[rspjean]

hrrmmmm i wanna go with the spyder sooo bad but because of size i think im gonna end up going with the tc plus a warrenty wouldnt hurt

[sinner96ST]

tC's are heavy, but you can supercharge them with a Blitz kit and get some decent numbers.

i'd go with an MR-S, add a hard-top for it, and swap a 2zz-ge in to it, myself. definitely unique, but lots of $$$.

turbo GT celica's make at least 200hp, you could also try that out.

[jdg371]

try a MRS with a 2GRFE, 280hp STOCK 3XX slicks in the rear and still traction problems!

Apex-i MR-S for the win!

[sinner96ST]

MR-S with a hard top, and wide body kit = sex.

[creamed_corn]

Scion. Easily the most practical car there with the most creature comforts. You're also going to get the most for your dollar.

The only downside is that it's the doggiest performer of the three and it's fastly gaining a reputation as a chick car.

The MRS is the most underrated car ever. Why? There was a lot of passion for the MR2 Turbo and too many people pass this one off at first glance. Anyone who says it's not "powerful" enough has never driven one, because I can guarantee you that it's the most properly balanced car that you can get for your dollar out there right now. The interior is kind of spartan, but I like that in my cars. The only drawback is it's good for nothing else beyond driving. No driving in bad conditions, no storage, no passenegers, high insurance, and a history of being a popular car to steal. Be sure to get an 03+ with stock LSD, better seats, and slightly better styling. Stay away from that e-manual crap or whatever it is.

And 7th gen... well not it's kind of a compromise between the other two, now isn't it?

^ what he said.

i consider an MR-S to be somewhat of a toy, it isn't 100% practical if you live a normal life and have to go grocery shopping, or have more than 1 person in your car.

also, i wouldn't wish the feeling of getting squirrely (breaking tires loose) on an MR-2 on anyone, either. it really is freaky the first time you experience it, because 99.99% of the people on the planet aren't used to mid engine, rear wheel drive cars.

[Consynx]

apexi? lol
Autobacs is the best MR-S ever, but supposedly a 3S swap is No piece of cake for it
i've thought about getting the MR-S a lot, and i've decided i can't live with one without being able to make it pretty fast, and by that time i'm in some bad debt...
