| | | General comments? | Well, where to start... I spent all of my driving life up until this car behind the wheel of a few American Musclecars. So, I had to grow up a bit and buy myself something more practical. I went and test drove the 6-speed GT-S model, fully loaded, and let me tell ya, I fell instantly in love! And that was before I even really started ripping things up. Going by the rule of keepin the hard driving off for the first 1000 miles, I took it real easy. That car was already a nice lil speeder then. Then I broke the 1k mark and found out the amazing world of variable valve timing. MAN was I impressed! OK so it wasn't exactly like my previous car, a Trans Am WS-6, but my god was it a lil ripper. Stock i rarely had a problem with pretty much any import on the road, not to mention almost every american short of the really high end bad boys. Then came the mods. I popped in an Injen CAI, Blitz exaust, Kazuma cam gears, and a custom header. The car Dyno'd at over 205 HP at that point, and with that light, nimble body, my 0-60 dropped below 6 seconds, and my quarter mile was a respectable 12.2. And that was before I was going to put a custom turbo, by Dynamic Designs in Canoga Park, CA. Well as my luck went, I lost it due to some negligent construction workers that left a pile of sand on the inside of a very sharp corner. Ran head-on into a light post. Then the car's safety features saved me. Unfortunately for me, the insurance company I was with sucked, and didn't pay off the car, so I had to cut my losses. I will buy one again someday, but for now I'm in a 97 Prelude SH (another GREAT car, but not quite as fast.) So, in conclusion, GET A CELICA GT-S!!!
PS: Make sure to get the 6-speed, no point in a 4-speed auto in a ballsy car like that. | | | Previous car | 00 Acura Integra Type R, Acura RSX, Honda Prelude Type SH, 95 Eclipse GSX, 93 Toyota MR2. |
