Celica Vs. Prelude...?, Not a typical question Options

[No0bOne]

Since my celica is in a shop being done on I shared rides with my buddy with a 97 Prelude today to friends party and all. First thing i noticed was the lack of back space and its small trunk but that's cool. Now, I've beaten this car silly when we money raced when i had my other car. As time went by, people were later chillin outside. Started talkin about cars and be checking out eachothers rides. Being quiet as i am whenever these topic are stirred I thought about the Celica.

I was told that the prelude handles really well and it is fast. So what do you guys think handles better? I' didn't have the chance to test-drive it yet. haha. Oh they also have this shift-kit which is pretty neat, strange enough..my friend doesn't even use it? wierd.

Prelude: 195hp @ 7000 rpm / 156tq @ 5250 rpm / 15.4s(1/4 mile)
Shoot if it runs 15.4s stock than I must've ran mid-high 13's at least that time.

You guys know what? Many people says my car is slow:)
But you guys know what? I've been doing private races more than public races, and suprisingly these fools can't keep their shame but to hide it with false lies. it's cool , faster money win like that right? Okay i'm done with my blabbin

yea i think if you took the highest trim of each car the celica would own all. if each car was stock. i am talking st205, civic type r, prelude, integra type r ect. i was looking at the videos in the links section of alltrac.net and they had a 6th gen gt-4 race a rx-7 twin turbo, escudo, skyline tt, and supra tt. and the celica only lost to the supra so there ya go. and it was barely too.

Well the 205 is another monster all together but im saying the ss-III vs all of the afore mentioned cars. The 3sge engine has to be the crowning achievement in toyota enginering. This engine in it naturall aspirated form 3 gen can hang stock per stock with the GSR B18 and in 97 when the vvti system was added to it....type r b18 at 195 and only 130lbs, the beams 3sge hits with 197 and 152lbs of torque. And this is in a car that still has all the creature comforts like ac, crusie, stereo, yadda yadda yadda. The Type r is a car ment to handle and go fast only....the ss-III is a car that can handle and go fast, but is a pleasure to drive daily....I wish i had vvti YOU MAIKL sell me your car now!
