like i said, i test-drove a new rx8 and damn that car is a monster around 4500rpm...

i havent had the chance to ever drive a sports car like that before, but at $29,500 theres noway i'll own one for another 8 years! but how does a 2nd or 3rd generation 3sgte swaped celica compair? yes, i know the engines are 2 completly different formats* and that rotary engine is a thing of beauty, how it sits right between the front wheels, ect...

just wondeting if i could get the warm and fuzzy feeling i did in the rx8, for about 6k in my celica?

i have an RX8 and i am not a fan of rotarys

the ride is increadable, hwne your doing 150mph it feels like most cars at 80

but the power just isn't there and the motor doesn't like it if you try to give it to it

i hate rotarys

but my celica is still not as fun to drive even with 20k invested in it, but it is definately quicker than the stock 8 was.... for now

but on boost that RX8 came alive, it just didn't stay alive for long
