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.

i can see that happening.
one car i REALLY want to backroad race is a prelude, they are basically our arch nemesis

when i start to autox i will see how my car performs against evo's and sti's, thats the class i will be in i suppose

I hate to break it to you, but the 92+ Preludes (model with Vtec) would run circles around us.

My friend used to have a 94' that was mint, never taken out of the garage, and was owned by his grandfather. When he took it over, it had only 10k miles on it. The car was practically brand new. Now, I'm normally not a Honda fan, but this car was QUICK. He was always constantly spin through 3rd gear with the normal tires it had.

He took it out to a road course during the TX2k5 Supra Nationals, and he was lapping Supras with it. Mind you, the car was completely stock aside upgraded spark wires, distributor, and an awesome set of BF Goodrich G Force Sport KDW's (as well as 104 octane). He said the only downside was the stock suspension, as after a few laps, it was becoming spongy.

Even though it would be very rare to run into one in that condition, I still say it would beat the Celica.

Let's face it guys, the [US] Celica is a dog.
