hm~~~ well~~~ r u really gonna put an rx7 next to a z06??? hello??? in stock form this cars are in different worlds. for all i know fd3s rx7 has 1.6 liter displacement? and to get it to hab 400+ hp that the z06 has u hab to go through a painstaking process and looooooooooooooots of money. sure rwd cars are very fun. but they aren't winter cars, which some ppl need. no matter what~~ it all boils down to money~~~ wif money u can do wutever u want. wanna make it go fast down the quarter??? bore the engine, add a turbo, swap it if u want. wanna make crazy drifts??? stiffen the suspension, get sticky tires, struts and sway bars. add a lil turbo if u'd like. but then again~~~ all boils down to money. u mite as well juss buy a lambo murcielago. hehehehe
Yeah, displacement on a rotary is a whole other world. The 13B gets 255HP when cramming 1.3 liters of gas and air into the rotor housing, while we get 110HP with 1.8 liters in each cylinder. And the engine is half the size of ours too.

But all in all, I want a FAST car that will get me to 200k.

Heh, oops. I feel like a dumbass now.
MY GOAL IS TO RIP A MUSTANG OR CAMARO UP.. IT WILL BE ACHIEVED BY NEXT SUMMER WITH OUT A DOUBT.
this thread is getting rediculous. how did we come from talking about domestic owners who hate all imports to saying how the Celica can't compare to a 'sports car'? I think most of us know what other options exist but we decided to go with the Celica for various reasons. there really is no reason to be talking smack about the Celica because we already know its strengths and weaknesses. thanks though. >rolleyes.gif>

and soundslut please stop posting in all caps, its irritating to the eyes.

mustangs arent cheap because they arent reliable. mustangs, like anyother car can be just as reliable in the right hands with the right maintanence. a guy i know puts about (no joke) 12K miles on his 5.0 mustang every 2-3 weeks, he has over 250K miles on it, and the only problem hes had over the last year besides regular maintanence was a tie rod end cracked, that was it. and the reason they are cheap is because the over abundance of them that has been and being manufactured has brought the price WAYYY down, its like anything else, the more bulk you create, the cheaper you can sell them. same goes for resell value, if your car is identical to a bunch of others out there, then you need to make the price more enticing so someone will want to buy yours over the next guys. which is the same reason DSMs are so cheap, and Supras hold their value so well.

Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
It's a budget car. It's one of those few cars that you don't have to special order to buy. You can just go down to the lot and they have like 12 of them sitting there.

lol...thats so great
Muscle v. import, I'm in the middle. You show me a modified 3000GT (which I hate to say I would take over a Supra) and I'll crap my pants for you. You show me a early 60's modle Chevy Nova with a blown 502, and I'll crap my pants once more. I love cars. Period. End of story. Thank you, have a nice day. That's it.
Well, it's not people like you that we have problems with. You have respect for both sides.

Personally, I really love cars too. Not just performance... but looks... I think the looks of many imports are awesome... i love those curves (just like how i like them on my girlies). I personally hate the way a mustang LOOKS. The older mustangs i actually like... Iono.... The Mustang just seems very played out to me. Part of what lured me to my celica was how beautiful they can be. Seriously, reminded me of a supra. I havent been able to look at any domestic cars lately and be able to say, that car looks nice.

Iono, maybe i'm just rambling...

No, you're right, domestic car's styling are very boring compared to foreign.
Its all in how you were raised i suppose. Me, i look at the car regardless of what it is, but i definately prefer an import car to just about any domestic out there due to nicer styling and refinement.

But i think that anybody who is a car enthusiast should have respect for cars from any market. >wink.gif>
