Getting back to what was said earlier...

Don't get on the Honda bandwagon. I'm not knocking Honda or anything, but they're just too common.

I live in an extremely small town. A town with 25 Civics, 2 Preludes, about 500,000 Cobalts (really only about 4, but those are so ugly that it amounts to 4 more than I'd like to see), and a slew of Neons and Eclipses. And how many 6GC's? One. Mine. I can't say how many times I've been in town and said, "Oh look, a Honda." And even though I wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of hanging with a Prelude, a Cobalt, or a Neon, it still amuses me that I could hang with all of those Civics that are supposed to be so amazingly badass.

Short story - My '94 ST, completely stock at the time. '03 Civic EX, LOADS of bolt-on mods (header, exhaust, intake, ignition, etc...). Both 5-speed. Who won? I did. That was the point where I was ultimately not impressed with Hondas. And the look on his face after I showed him my stock 7A against his $800 investment in bolt-ons - priceless. Anyway, racing is out of my interests right now. MPG > WOP.

There's a guy here that owns a Shelby Daytona (the only one in this town) that runs 11's in the ¼ mile on street tires with a Quaife LSD and boosting around 22 psi. Jumping on the bandwagon doesn't mean you'll have a fast car. My point here is the same as everyone else's. With enough time, enough money, and enough elbow grease, you can MAKE your Celica fast. I've raced plenty of races that I didn't win, but it's not discouraging me. Our cars have potential, we just have to unleash it.

Seeing a video of a 5GC GT-FOUR blowing the doors off an R33 Skyline was all I needed. But alright I'm done ranting.
