What are the different models in the 6GC range ? Options

Hi,

I was hoping someone could enlighten me with the different models around the world.

In Australia, all we have is the Celica SX and Celica ZR, both have the 5SFE 2.2L, which is pretty lame.

There are GT4's around, but all of them are imports.

I have seen people talking about SSIII, GT,ST and all these other models, I have even seen some come with a 1.8L motor ? How slow would that be ?

I know that in Japan they come out with a 3SGE, because my mate bought an engine from one and put it in his ST162, standard with a Microtec (aftermarket ECU) he made 146HP at the front wheels, thats pretty damn good for a NA 2.0L

Anyway, i'd love to know what all these other models are and which countries they are in.

Only the really unlucky know. Some even operate them with automatic transmissions attached, rendering speeds immeasurably slow.

I was one of those unfortunate...
The 1.8l from 94-95 put out 110hp/105ft/lb tq, 96 and onward it put out 105hp/107ft/lb tq. Automatics will do 0-60 in about 12.5 seconds depending on how you launch, condition of your engine and whatnot. Fastest I got my 94 was to 12.3. Eeks.

Manuals are slightly faster, I have a 96 st, so different power measurements but not enough to really make a difference. I haven't tested it but I'm fairly sure I could hit a flat 12.
