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

ok all you guys are talking about completeyl different cars. the NEW Mazda3 will way outdo a Celica like ours, but our Celicas would definitely be with one of the older Mazda MX-3s I looked into an MX-3 and the 1.8 v-6 is really tiny, I kinda liked it though. Would have been an interesting project. But yeah, new Mazda3 definitely faster I'd say, but I don't know the exact specs

We aren't talking about the MX-3. Alright I caught a blue Mazda3 this weekend, I killed it, but a stock GT it would be up to the drivers. |
