you realize that HP doesn't matter when it comes to handling?
i know of 200hp BMW race cars that will walk a 400hp porsche around the race track simply because they can out handle them. take the four grand....invest into a couple of track day/driving schools you'll learn more there and figure out from experienced drivers more about what you need to do to improve as a driver and ways to improve your car. not to mention that handling is the single biggest asset of the celica......hp and out right speed not so much This post has been edited by playr158: Nov 17, 2007 - 11:58 PM |
