Are you actually going to call the american celica a sports car? I think if it's a sports car it shouldn't get outrun by almost everything on the road. And I'm not talking about my personal driving skills, I'm talking about the numbers. Unless you go for the 3S swap, or do a turbo, you have nothing. I don't care if the car does handle well. I have a 94 GT with the sports supension package, and I must admit it does handle very nice, but handling will only get you so far.

The Celica isn't a sports car. Its a sporty compact. And run for run (as used in an example eariler) a stock Celica GT and a stock Civic EX are about equal in speed. Celica out handles, Civic out gas-pumps. And please understand that the Celica isn't a UBER-performer on the track stock. Yes it handles nice, but its no Evo. Now, you can boast about handling if you have a Mazda, but just take the good with this car. And the honda D16=bad people. OMG. Wake up buddies. The D16 is 10 times the engine the 5S wants to be. I have to agree that the ignorant "hondas suck" response is childlike in so many ways. And I dont even like Hondas!!!! And to reinstate my thought - which of the two cars is still being made? -Ti |
