Is it possible to put a 7th gen GTS motor ( 180HP VVTL-i) into a 6th Gen GTS ?

good post man... but just wanted to point out something. im pretty sure that a lot of accura sedans have 200-250 hp in their fwd modles. hondas, celicas, etc... are not produced with that much power, becasue they are ment to be economy cars for daily driving and great gas milage.

also there is something about torque steer that people seem to forget. it dosnt happen when u are daily driving, or even doing a spirited run. its only a problem when you FLOOR the gas in 1st and 2nd gear and as long as you dont punch the gas, its not a big issue in a car thats making 200-250hp fwd. and even when it is a "problem" its the type of thing that is easy to control and kind of takes your breath away (in a good way) as you experience that much power.

i think 200-250 is perfect in a fwd car. ask anyone else who is making the same power (3sgte, 5sfe,etc) and they will prbably agree that it feels just perfect. so much that toyota could have sold the car just like this. i never noiced any negative changes in the way my car handles or drives. its still a celica, except now, when u give it some gas, it dosnt disappoint you like it used to with the stock motor.

i think most of the issues you talk about, start to become a problem at the 300-400 hp level on a fwd car.
