I had to get a new clutch in my car so I didn't have it for a week b/c the shop was backed up. I did not know how much I would miss my car.. (94 ST). While it was in the shop I had the chance to drive all my roomies cars. I drove a 94 Honda Accord, 94 Integra, 97 Ford contour V6, 96 Jeep wrangler. I tell you from all those cars, my celica handled the best and had the 2nd best Accel (integra faster). I read all these posts how the celica handles so well and I tell you it is soo true.
The Accord took off slower than the speed of smell and handled like ****.
The Jeep, well its a jeep, so thats a diff catergory(but it was fun to drive, I reccomed driving on if you get the chance).
The ford was faster than the accord b/c of t he v6 but handling was **** and I still think my ST is faster off the line. It was slow.
The integra had great pickup, but I didn't handle the corners as well as my Celica does.
I also prefer the interior of the Celica to all the cars that above. The only mods I have are SRI, and front strut bar. I love my car soo much more now that I drove other POS's.

Has anyone else experienced this and Loved your car more than before??

Im new to this site and this is my first post, but I have been doing a lot of reading over the past few days and have learned a lot. I used to own an Eclipse RS until about 2 weeks ago when someone ran me off the road and I did 2 360's flew off a 25' embankment into the woods (the bastard didnt even stop). Needless to say the car is totaled and in the meantime Im driving my moms GT. As far as the performance comparison I think the celica definitely handles better stock for stock, but then again its hard for me to remember how my eclipse handled stock. As far as the performance my eclipse was definitely faster (15.46 w/ intake, exhaust and UDP). The celica has loads of torque when compared to mine, but the top end completely sucks. My car seemed to come alive around 3500rpm, felt like Vtec, and pulled all the way to its 7200rpm ignition cut. Right now Im searching for a replacement vehicle and since my car has been totaled Ive been borrowing my moms car and Im definitely impressed. Plus the option of putting the 3sgte into a celica would be cheaper than the money I was planning on spending on a turbo kit for my eclipse. That opens a whole new world of performance potential. I think that if I had the choice of another NA eclipse or a GT, Id go for the GT. biggrin.gif
