there is nothing high performance about a BEAMS


How do you feel about bumping the beams vs v6 thread so we can argue about this? Fun? Yeah? woot.gif


no leave that thread dead where it belongs. The BEAMS has High Performance qualities like VVT but its far from a high performance title.



I recently drove a beams powered car. I was actually surprised at how well it pulled for NA. It had good initial bite and enough power to keep you in your seat. It was genuinely a fun car to drive.

This was my impression after driving a turbo celica for the past 10 years or so, so thats saying a lot. Was it faster than my car? No. Not by a long shot. But it was a lot of fun to drive in its own way.
