Also OOBE...Your Supra weighs more than a Non-turbo 3000GT.
88 turbo supra manual = 3530 93 N/A 3000GT= Base model =3307 SL=3461 Real heavy huh? Kinda weird how everyone thinks that all 3000GT's are heavy just because the VR-4's are 3800lbs. They may be heavy compared to a celica but they really arent very heavy when it comes to it. --------------------  |

no, but they do use electronics to control most of the handling of the car, hence not so pleasurable to drive

HUH??? What are the talking about? They have electronic controled suspension (ie Sport and touring modes) just like corvettes. That is a really nice feature and stiffens or softens the suspension depending on what you want. The Vr-4's are All wheel steering which is not electronic but does help cornering. That all they have...

How am I comparing a forced induction car with an NA? I mentioned that the 3000GT SL has about 170 WHP...so ToyCeli8 would take him...power to weight ratio...that's why I wrote the horsepower...and I wrote mine to specify which day it was, because I took my car to the dyno 3 times, so I wanted to specify which time it was, hehe.

Again...why are you throwing my Supra in the equation? FORGET that I mentioned my Supra...I just mentioned the horsepower to identify which dyno day it was. My point was to mention that ToyCeli8 will take the NA 3000GT. -------------------- Past - 7A-FTE: Will never forget you

just dropping a 3sgte into the celica isnt going to be 400+hp... a 210hp celica with no traction off the line isnt going to go very far very fast. FWD 3000gt's have the same problem but they do have bigger tires and more weight in the front so the race could be relatively close off the line. Im pretty sure the turbo celica can take the 3000 anyways but you just never know.

ud have 2 spend an extra 6000 to get a stock 3sgte to 400hp. then again if racing sum1 in a straight line gives the best idea on how fast acar is then any car can be made fast, throe in sum cornerd on the other hand....
