im debating wether to get a 96 hatchback gt or pay a little less for an mkIII supra turbo. i mean i know the supra is much faster but i love the look of the 6th gens and they r pretty rare around here, i just want to know if they are gona be able to hold there own with the common cars around here. im not talkin like vets and vipers but i mean the civics and cavaliers with all show no go. so by experience is ur celica a slow car? (stock of course) o and also, is there any mods for cheap to raise around the 150 or more hp mark without turbo-ing or swapping? thnx in advance

depends what you compare the car to

compared to most entry level vehicles its pretty quick. lots of low end torque to make it lots of fun to drive on the street and the curb weight of the car makes it lots of fun to toss through turns.

as far as if you really wanted to get into heavily modifying it, you are at a disadvantage. the market is pretty small, and for any big gains while keeping a reliable motor, you will have to fork out some big bucks and tear the motor apart and replace quite a bit, or you would have to swap.

they are great cars all around, their performance is ample, but not going to knock your socks off.

Hey Tim, doesn't it amuse you when people always seem to compare 6th gen's to Honda's? LOL. People talk as if Honda's are the slowest cars on the planet. Or could it be because 6th gen's are on the same class level (in terms of performance) as Civics and Integras? Oh well... tongue.gif
