Honestly, I don't understand the complaint. I haven't had the privelage to own a 6th gen yet but I'm working on that now. I've had 4 Celicas, and they all were pretty decent. I had an 87 ST, a 92 ST, a 90 GT, and I still have my 91 All-Trac. The Trac is the fastest, but the GT held its own with a clutch weaker than Mark Prior's current pitching arm. The 87 held its own too, but G gutted that damn thing so there wasn't much weight. I'm guessing the 6th gen GT should be about even with the 5th gen, if not better. In my oppinion, the autmatic Celica is slow as dirt because you don't have full power over torque.


As far as the ST205 is concerned, >>


lol.


Turbocharged AWD manual transmission is the effing shiznit. :-D.

My buddy ghetto rigged his 92 GT automatic with a turbo and it ran fine. Blew two motors, but the turbo was fine. lol.


If you got stop and go city traffic, I'd rather have an automatic anyways. Prolly why the GSX Eclipse auto sells pretty well. That, and people want performance but don't know how to drive stick. The "I take what I can get" line is bullhonkey. If you have something set in your head, go for it and don't settle for less. The juice is definitely worth the squeeze.


Thats my two psi on a lot of things... Point is, I don't see the complaint about not having fast cars. Its about torque, not power, to an extent. Power produces torque but torque doesn't produce power

Hey dude we hade the same Previous car. I also had a Nissan Primera before my GT. I got rid of it as soon as i saw my celi came on sale Online!. But the 2.0 engine wasnt al that bad. But because its weight and modest HP for a 16v 2.0 liter its not that fast. But i got 215 km/h with it >>

You should try to drive a turbocharged 4wd Primera GT >> Damn that thing was fast.. I was actually thinking of swapping my engine with a turboed GT engine, but decided to swap in a stock 96' instead and sell the car to buy a 99' Civic Coupe Si (1.6 liter DOHC VTEC with 170~bhp.. As already stated in some other thread the seller just disapeared and I never got to buy the car) Ended up with the Celi and I'm kinda happy now >> The Civic would have pwned the Celi bigtime, but the Celi is sexy >>

In Europe (At least in my country) The Civic/Golf/Kadett/CRX/Subaru's or to Common in the "scene"

Almost every friday i go to car meetings and everytime i am the only 6GC there. Sometimes theres a stock Silver and Red one, but they look so bad with the stock 205 wheels+Alloys, not lowered and no window tints, no skirts etc etc.

And Illyont. The Civic would have pwned your Celi, not mine, 3S-GE Power!!!!!!!

And what makes you think your speedo is anything like accurate. If it's anything like mine, 115mph is probably 105 in real life.

A ST is not a fast car. I'm sorry, but it's not. It's a very nice car, but not quick.

It is. I have seen the light, and the light is boost.
