ok. be honest, are 6th gens slow? Options

[supra33]

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

The Celica is a fun sporty car. It will drive better and last longer than everything mentioned in this list. The best part is that a Celica, while retaining its good looks and originality, will hold its value very well in the coming years, while others may simply fall off. Pretty much all Hondas are known for this as well, and you may very well have a better time modifying a Civic to the tops, but you certainly won't be surrounded by an excellent crowd like this while doing it. Plus, you won't be doing anything original at all. Everything has been done with a Civic. Everything. Try a new combination with a Celica. Hell, do what I'm likely to start getting into--autocrossing. The Celica is great at it, and there are plenty of good suspension modifications to help get you started. Don't worry about power, there's no need to show off to the prick revving his Civic at you at the light. Turn up your stereo, look away, and drive normal. Or do what I do.. rev at him, look at him with the "let's go" look, when the light turns green, make a left/right turn. Cracks me up everytime.
