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.

"What the hell is a Celica STX and GTX?"



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The 90-93 Celicas came in four main trims: ST, GT, GT-S, and All-Trac. Two trims that were not offered at the factory level are the STX and the GTX. What exactly are they?

The STX and GTX were offered at the dealer-level. They were used to promote the car similar to how "Special Edition" will catch a buyer's attention. The "X" trim levels made the Celica ST and GT seem more unique, special, and rare.

The most common addition to the STX and GTX trims is the badging. They included pinstriping and STX and GTX badges on the sides and rear. The STX received:

a rear spoiler (not originally offered at the factory- or dealer-level with the ST),
aluminum wheels (not originally offered at the factory- or dealer-level with the ST),
and (in some cases) the Power Package (power windows and power locks; not offered at the factory- or dealer-level with the ST).
The GTX has the same available options as a regular GT but with the addition of the GTX badging. Despite rumors, they have no advantages in performance. No super-special engine; no super-special suspension.

The STX and GTX are the ST and GT with eXtra options. Emphasis on the "X" badging.
