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!

the ss2 had a 170ish HP 3sge and the ss3 had the BEAMS VVTI 3sge with close to 200hp

Actually, all SS-IIs and SS-IIIs have the same engine for any given year. In '98 and up models, both the SS-II and SS-III have the BEAMS 3S-GE. wink.gif

sorry for giving out some incorrect info. i dont look into the JDM celicas too much

it depresses me frown.gif .
