I dont take much part in the 6gc forums but spend time mostly viewing other peoples rides on this site..
So im keen on ur opinions on which car has better straight line performance, the Celi GT or the Mazda3 2.0l.. im curious because my friend has one and the specs are pretty similar. I think maybe my celi would have a slight edge with more low end torque, but the age difference in the cars might make a bit of a difference as well. Curious to know what u guys might think.. if u even care

I'm confident that the Celica would take the Mazda 3, the peak torque is low on the Mazda but it's not enough to help it, the peak horsepower probably will never be seen since it is made right on the redline where the Celicas is about a thousand less than redline. IMO age makes a difference but a new Celica GT would probably give the 2.3 Litre version a good run if the 2.3 acts the same way as the Honda KA20 in the Civic Si which doesn't seem to have as much power as the numbers claim, I might go Mazda 3 hunting this weekend and see how quick they are.
