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!

hope its not a dumb question but whats SSII and SSIII?

toyota's answer to Honda's VTEC cars.

they have 3sge engines and factory ground effects and some have different suspension and LSD.

basically, the fasted 6th gen celicas aside from the GT4's the ss2 had a 170ish HP 3sge and the ss3 had the BEAMS VVTI 3sge with close to 200hp

basically, its another instance of toyota screwing over the american market.
