YES! Finally got a 6th GEN TODAY!!! I am so excited, and you guys definitely underrate the power of the 5 speed gt
This thing flys and handles corners crazy! a lil over rev from 3rd goin to 4th is a huge jump in MPH

Coming back from cleveland my stepdad got it from 80-120 in 5th gear like it was nothin, and he also said he felt more gas to be pressed

I got a 96' GT 5 Speed, Black nice as hell paint is awesome no rust on body what so ever, we just built a custom cai and fit it in in like 20 minutes definitely gave an awesome woosh when in neutral i am already in love

It has 136k miles drove it for 4.5 hours back home it is in great shape im so excited!

Just stock this thing is quick as **** ill for sure burn my friends cars and they have a lil bit of performance done

Econo box is a car like a Corolla, Civic, Fit, etc that's only meant to be driven as a commuter car for economic purposes, good gas mileage, etc, basically a car with very little power.

Our cars are pretty light, but not that powerful. 135hp isn't that much, and the GT's powerband is just awful. While it is "quick" and fun to drive, head to head with another car they just don't hold up.

If you do want best performance per-dollar without turbocharging I would get a header, and do a search on the Webcams 294 grind for our cams. Intakes are pretty much a waste of time, and exhaust gains are minimal without doing a lot more work. Welcome to 6gc, our cars may be slow but there's a reason I'm on my 4th one
