170 hp 2.0ltr turbo with a miniature intercooler. Hella nice Tokico suspension set up.(basically a aftermarket suspension kit) from factory. 0-60in the 7's, 1/4 in the 15's.

I seem to remember it being tested by motor trend against the SRT-4.

"big power Vs. great handling on the track"

End result "Rompin stompin SRT torque makes this neon hard to pass up"

The SRT stomped it on the trac. The Mazdaspeed does have hella nice suspension though... but for two grand, the celica could Easily have better.

I'd personally have opted for a Hyundai GT-V6 6 spd, or a WRX, or even a GT-S celica over the mazda though,..
