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

I think you are very mistaken regarding this. Toyota has various smaller vehicles to compete with the Hondas especially the integra. The Levin, Trueno, Cynos and a couple of others are in the 1.6 category of the integra and the also have similar shape, size and weight. The Celica was created to compete with larger category like the Prelude and other 2,0 litre cars, well not actually because the Celicas history goes decades earlier than these cars. Then the Supras come along to compete in the 2.5 to 3.0 litre category where honda is not really in but there are other cars like the 300zx etc. After the ridiculous low power of the 6gen in the US the 7 gen was created to be smaller in size and cheaper to directly compete and gain back the market share from the integras. This time they were carefull to produce a car that would have the power and pass smog tests and not go with a low power engine in the US market merely for smog purposes. They have learned their lesson and that was looks aren't everything. You need to have a well rounded product to succeed |
