I am trying to choose between a Mitzibishi FTO mivec or Celica SS3.
Ive taken the FTO for a test drive and found it very responsive and what a awesome sound! But was disapointed with how rough it felt on the road.

I wana test drive a Celica SS3 to compare but cant find a yard in close proximity that has one..Questions:
1. whats the SS3 drive like?
2. has it got the kick of a mivec kickin in?
3. is it smoother to drive (than a FTO)
4. how much Hp does a stock SS3 produce(beams and non beams)
5.whats the power difference between SS2 and SS3 (of same year?)
6. for thoose that have driven a FTO mivec and the celica which do u prefer??
Please help meeee! Un biased comments would be good!

there is the info for the 3s-ge engine which is the engine for the ss3 and ss2

I have a friend that is from australia and he says that the FTO's are really nice but they dont handle anywhere near as good as a celica.

they ss3 beams has vvt-i and 197hp and the non beams only has 152


If I am not mistaken the FTO is a V6 so it will sound a little meaner but hks super dragger exhaust could fix that for the ss3.

I would (also my friend from down under) recommend the ss3 beams because the horsepower is the same. lighter car, more reliable and better handling.
