200 HP out of a 3.0L V6 that weighs 3263Lbs...Only 40% of the parts are from overseas...
0-60 in 8 seconds and only a 16 second 1/4 mile time...huge 16.4G tank

Basically you're driving a 2 door DIAMANTE.



I'll stick with my 215hp 6-speed GT-S that can pop 0-60 in less than 6 seconds,weighs 2500lbs and runs high 13's,low 14's...

Not to be hatin' but... FFS you shouldda stayed JDM! Atleast your car would have been able to see 200,000 miles someday.

I agree with above.

Show me a dyno sheet or there is no way i believe you.

I know a lot of people with vvtli's and there is just no way mate, sorry.

The TRD vesion only has just over 200BHP for god's sake. Are you telling me you are better at tuning than TRD?

I'll make sure to show my track times and videos of me beating a lot of "nice" cars at Import Wars this year and I will DEFINITELY find some new Eclipse to make an example out of by handing him his butt... You guys can ask Presure2 or not if my car sounds mean...it was recently at his shop.

/bow


p.s. Don't compare vvtL-i to a v-tec... and btw,son, vvti is what's in the 00-05 GTs, I drive a GT-S which is the same motor as the Lotus. vvtL-i to vvti is the difference between the old school mustang 4 banger and the 5.0...both look the same but only 1 could outrun the cops. Do the math and some research before making yourself look foolish.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. If it is truly 215hp you should have the dynosheet to prove it, or else you're just speculating, which just makes you look bad when you flip out like this. Saying your car has 215hp off of bolt-ons is like me saying the Yelli Celi was throwing down 175hp with bolt ons. No high revving low-displacement motor can get there without a significant amount of work - and furthermore it doesn't matter if the motor comes in the Elise, it's all about power/weight ratio, which the Lotus does much better than the Celica. That's the whole reason why it's fast.

and vvtl-i is Toyota's i-vtec. vvti is equal to vtec. Sorry to burst your bubble. Both are variable valve timing with intelligence.

So please, list your modifications, track times with timeslips, and a dynosheet - or it's all not true.
