No offence to any one that is in love with there celi.. I mean i like mine, it handles nice after springs an its fun, but its hella slow. ok, i mean its not a 74 bug, but its not fast or eevry really quick. and i was thinking about a swap, but it seams most people here end up spenging close to 9k, i mean if i could do it for 2.. maybe 3 i would. My real question is who here has just thought screw theceli and get a real sports car? and if so, which?.. Im really thinking about getting a a camaro or firebird, cause no really imports have enough real power. eh just all what iv come too after looking and search for info and prices for swaps. its just not happening

It kinda bugs me my stock Celi is so slow. But I don't have the cash for a 9k engine swap. But the nice thing about the Celi, is it's a killer daily driver. My red GT is sexy enough to the point where chick look twice at it and the interior is supra like.
As for as speed? Well I have about $4k to kill so it's either boost the celi or a GSX-R 600cc. With the bike I will be an unstoppable chick getting machine. The rest of the money can go to the STD clinic. -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
