I hear some of ya guys saying the handling on our Celicas is pretty good. I don't disagree but then again I haven't had the chance to drive any other imports. Does the Celica really handle better than other imports. And I was looking into AutoCrossing with my Celica but saw from the results of runs that the only toyota anyone used was an MR2....How well do you think my 97 Celica could do autocrossing, i plan on getting a strut brace, coilovers, and better wheels...i think that would make my car pretty agile right?

I have autocrossed my 97 gt a couple times. As far as I know it performs really well since it's light, wide, and quick. However, it has been my experience that autocrossing is entirely about the driver and tire pressure. It really doesn't matter what you drive, as long as you know your car well enough to handle the track.
For autocross though I would recomend eibach springs, a trd strut brace, and maybe a sway bar upgrade. Most autocrossing will put you in a different class though. I don't have enough experience at the track so far, but my main claim to fame is beating a Mini Cooper S. lol. |
