So i've been wondering fora long time now how is that toyota was not able to produce a powerful enough engine here in the U.S. to compete with honda. I mean how come honda was able to have 160 hp SI civics with b16 and b18 engines.The best the U.S. can come up is a 2.2 135 hp stock engine. How come they werent able to modify the 3sge with egr or w/e is necessary to pass U.S. emissions. Even it it had like 10 less hp. I mean i dont know if im just talking out of my butt or something but i want to know. Also, are the SS-III low and high beam headlights made out of glass??

its because they wouldn't sell, simple as that.
st185 was unsuccessful at 200hp, celicas doesn't have that "sports car" status, and the car itself is unpopular. -------------------- PROJECT 6TH GEN
