Found this pretty funny, Integra VS Celi Thread Options

[TiGZ461]

A friend of mine told me something about a H22 powered 6g and I just had to Google it. Never found it but while looking I came across a Supra forum discussing which is better between the Integ and Celi. Pretty funny what people post, I'm a die-hard Honda enthusiast, not because of what I see on the streets but of what they do on professional circuits and events. But the idiots on that board remind me why I hate having one.


ummm let me just give you guys the link.......

You have to keep in mind that the 6th gen celica was also oriented towards females more so than males (the supra was the opposite). I still find it's styling to be pretty much be Unisex, but I think initially Toyota was hoping for different sales.

You also have to keep in mind that outside of us, and our amazingly awesome cars, a vast majority of the population viewed the 6th gen as the "ugly duckling" of the Celica line. The lack of sales versus the 5th gen also resulted in aftermarket companies considering other routes to make products for. Couple this with Toyota putting in "efficient" engines (5s, 7a) it didn't seem profitable by 3rd party companies to make products, even if people did buy them.

Had Toyota thrown in the 3sge/3gste engine on USDM cars and marketed them towards younger males, everything would be different right now...

However even with that being said, I thoroughly enjoy seeing a modded up celica much more than an integ. Integs are a dime a dozen, sure they push the 200hp boundaries much easier than our cars, but they have no soul, no personality. I'd rather get love from another celica owner, than "props" from just another integ owner....
