Nice clean ride. smile.gif

...It is funny to see how people always mention power stuff, 3sgte, comparisons etc.. but what about HANDLING? -- If I had to guess, the Celica would be better than the corvette on a really curvy road. The Corvette probably has a little bit of a "boat" feel? ...correct me if i'm wrong.


Well, stock for stock the corvette and the celica are about even... The vette has more traction than the celi (due to 9.5 in wide wheels in back and 285/40s) but weighs considerably more. Now, i rode in my friends vette the other day (same model, year, engine) but he had a performance suspension on it and it was much much better than my celica with eibachs and kyb struts. His vette sits much lower than the celica and the vette only weighs 3200 lbs (pretty good for a huge v8). Also, the fact that the vette has a 49/51 weight dist. whereas the celi has a 62/38(this plays a huge role when going through corners at speed. Where the celica would majorly understeer, the vette can push through the corner with very little to no understeer. the vette defininatly feels better on the road than the celica. Just my opinion (numbers may show opposite)

Also my celica tips the scales at 2850 lbs because it has power everthing, leather and moonroof...
