i seriously believe that a celica will whip alot of cars asses in autox and suspension type races where hp and acceleration isnt the main issue...i have sportlines and 215/45's so i think the reason i was whooping ass in turns was becuz the zx is a long car with rwd and the celi is smaller and definately more stable with fwd

I used 2 have a 300zx TT, and if the N/A is anything at all like the TT version he definatly let you win.

i get surprised by my handling all the time!! i take turns pretty sharp and the celi juss takes it and laughs! and i have stock... this thread reminds me of initial d an N/A 86 whoopin like everything!

The N/A is a second slower in the quarter and about 2 seconds slower 0-60. There are almost as many differences between the N/A 300ZX and the TT as the Supra N/A and turbo. I do agree with drnovascotia about the ST vs. 300, there isn't a real way a stock ST can beat the 300 in a straight, now a GT wouldn't win in a straight line if the both had perfect runs but if the 300 has one mistake the GT would take it. As far as cornering goes, the Celica will usually has better handling than the driver has huevos, I credited the tires on this one but I took a 90 degrees left doing 50 mph and barely squealed a tire, in the Lancer OZ (which has reasonable handling since the chassis isn't much different than the Evo) took the same turn doing 45 and it sounded like the tires were being ripped from the rim. Now with stock tires I really couldn't tell you how the car handles but it must be a major increase by switching to 17" and Z rated tires.
