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 sorry. I'd have to see it to believe it. The only thing the car has going for it is a V6 engine. It only has 130 hp and 115 lbs/ft of torque. Sure the car is light weighing at 2541 lbs. But a liftback GT only weighs bout 41 lbs more? And then theres the coupe that weighs less. If you're hitting 18's with a GT Celica then I really don't know what to say to you. I can see an ST doing that, but not a GT. I don't see how the MX3 could be any faster than a base model Civic.
