Celica STX, Different performance wise? Options

[Justin]

I have a friend who was just givin an stx coupe. He says that it does come with a different stroke and cams. I didn't belive him, so , he took me for a ride. He only has an intake and that thing pulls way harder than my st. For even more testing, I raced him. To my surprise he won by a 3/4 to 1 carlength. I have full exhaust with no cat and a resonator. He also said it has different gearing, but I did'nt pay attention to where he shifted in my ride along. He also said it comes with stiffer suspension and that it came from the factory with an unclearcoated front bumper. Also his is like 190 something of like 250. So, uh, I'm really confused.

sorry about the rant on the motors, i just saw someone saying that the 3s-gte can make more power than a 2jz. i live supras day in and day out...so i know for a fact thats not true.

but i just dont think i can be convinced otherwise of the st and stx being the same because of how that car performs infront of my own eyes. the information about the differnce in motors comes from the stx owner who drove it every day for 2 years before coming to own it. it pulled on mustang gt's then and it still does now. this person has also owned a 6th gen gt-4 for 4 years so he is a celica enthusiast as well and has done a lot of research on his celicas.

please dont get me wrong, im not trying to down celicas in anyway.i know they are great cars.
