So my buddy has a 1987 Chevy Camaro Z28 IROC. And all he does is brag how fast it is, so he has 18"Chrome Rims, which are even heavier than my 19s because his tire base is wider. So he was talking mad **** about how he wanted to race me. We hit the Interstate 90. And stopped and took off, i must admit he had me on the first 5 secs but i punched it into 3rd and smoked him! i was almost a car and half length ahead before i shifted in to 4th. When he was shifting his car sounded like it was going to fall apart. Not to mention i know this kid is a good driver. But was it nice to say..."A Ricer beats A.M."

Sorry Guys - I didn't explain properly.

Lots of American cars have large engines with a relatively low power output, lots of American engines do last for a very high number of miles.

It wasn't a specific comment about that particular car.

I used to drive an old Chevy station wagon when I lived in Massachusetts it had 450k miles on it - was rusty as anything but the engine was great smile.gif

Keyword.."OLD" ...the old ones did go for a long time.. It doesnt happen much anymore. These celicas are about the best car you can buy as far as reliability goes. Yeah some may have problems but for the most part they are very good cars.
