I hear some of ya guys saying the handling on our Celicas is pretty good. I don't disagree but then again I haven't had the chance to drive any other imports. Does the Celica really handle better than other imports. And I was looking into AutoCrossing with my Celica but saw from the results of runs that the only toyota anyone used was an MR2....How well do you think my 97 Celica could do autocrossing, i plan on getting a strut brace, coilovers, and better wheels...i think that would make my car pretty agile right?

Assuming about 15% driveline loss thats 145hp at the crank.
Assuming a more conservative 10% loss thats 138hp at the crank. Not too bad considering a stock ST is rated at 115 at the crank and all I have are minor bolt ons. |
