Let me throw something out here, there is more to performance than just horsepower.

With all the recent talk of the 2zz swap got me thinking.
From what I have found a 2000+ GTS can do a 0-60 in about 6.6 seconds

2000 mass = 2500 lbs
1994 mass = 2580 lbs

If you swap in the 2ZZ your weight should be down closer to 2500 so you should get a 0-60 around 6.6 seconds. Not bad, but consider this:

2AZ-FE, the replacement for the 3S and 5S

In the 2002 Camry with a 5 speed, 0-60 is 8.0 seconds, and this car weighs 3147 or so.

dropping that engine in a 6gc, your 0-60 should be around:
8.0 / 3147 * 2580 = 6.57 seconds (rough approximation)

note that this does not take into accont the reduced weight in engines and better transmission ratios in the 6gc, and this engine is not tuned runing on 87 octane cat-pee.

this engine may bolt up to the GT tranny, not sure though...

that ratio wouldnt work, weight is a percentage multiplier, not a direct comparison ratio.
it also depends where the weight is located, how and where the weight shifts.

as a comparison, the NA MK2 MR2 weighs in the area of 2600-2800LBS. the GT celica, with the same motor only weighs 2500. yet the NA MR2 is faster. its because all the weight is centrally located over the rear axle, making all the weight drive the wheels against the ground. also all the weight is situated low in the car, and it sits lower... high weight = bad, low weight = not as bad.
