celica vs other coupes, handling Options

[Euphoria]

hey, I know what everyone is thinking, we all know the 6th gen isn't the fastest car in its class, this isn't gonna be another one of of those threads but with everyones experiences, how much better or worse does the 6th Gen generally handle compared to other cars in its class such as ford probe/mx6, prelude, integra, hyundai coupe etc etc.

you guys ever think the celica handles better because it enters every corner slower and accelerates out slower then any other car? obviously if you slap on 100 more horsepower its not gonna grip on corners as well unless you snail into it like it still had 130hp

You don't need a lot of horsepower to enter a corner quickly, you just need to be going fast. Most cars have to decelerate to some degree to go around a turn. A Celica might not have to decelerate as much as other cars (that have more horsepower). However, it can go around the turn as fast as those cars, if not faster. Accelerating out of the corner is a different story though...lol.
