[QUOTE] What are you talking about man? [/QUOTE]
What did my sentence say...? More exacting was my reference to USDM 6gc...

[QUOTE] My GT4 kicks ass and so far nothing has matched its overall image and performance. Even guys with Evos and Subaru's that are heavily modified aknowledge the superiority of the GT4. [/QUOTE]
No one said your GT4 was slow... mind you, this entire topic is focused around USDM celicas...

[QUOTE] Not designed for racing? Remind me again who was winning all those races and championships in the early nineties. [QUOTE]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 205 chassi didn't win many races... and was swapped over to a more competitive chassi (corolla hatch). The 205 chassi lasted what... 1-2 years? It didn't have the success of the 185 and 165...

[QUOTE] if you see other cars in the category you will see that Celica is indeed built for racing. [/QUOTE]
'That" celica yes... along with all of the other high-powered ST205's and 202's with their performance oriented suspension... In the US... I'd hardly call them race cars...

[QUOTE] In my country which is a small island, we had 7-8 dead people from accidents. all with Mitsubishis or Hondas. [/QUOTE]
So Toyota's are immune to accidents in your country? In the US... Toyota Camrys get stolen more than any other car (2003 at least)...

[QUOTE] A friend of mine was hit in the side with 80 mph and he lived. the car was heavily damaged but he had only a concusion and some bruises. (his had a yellow 6gc). Another guy i know who had an integra was hit in the side with 50 mph and the car was split in two and was killed instantly. [/QUOTE]
??what does this have to do with being a racecar??

[QUOTE] You have 6gcs with very bad engines in the states. If you like more power just spent a couple of thousands and get a 3SGTE engine and bolt it on. You would need to limit down the boost though because your car will be a beast. A friend of mine put a modified 330bhp 3SGTE engine on his 6gc and the wheels were spinning in 4th gear. [/QUOTE]
A swap would be nice... but a little bit impractical to everyone, short of real enthusiasts. As for a swapping to create a more powerful 'racecar' IMO, the 3sgte isn't the best track engine (although it can be very good)... I would prefer a high-revving n/a over a turboed beast on the track. I also find it quite funny... when people always suggest a swap. I've heard that all too much, and even though it's an excellent motor and a swap isn't all too difficult... when I want a powerful car, I would much rather build a n/a racing engine myself...

All in all, my last post merely states, the car is the way it is, and is an excellent set-up for driving. If you wanna race, you're driving the wrong car (although with work, can potentially be a nice track car).
