Celica GT-S
| Model | Celica GT-S | |
| What things have gone wrong with the car? | Reverse, 1st and 3rd are too close to each other. 2nd gear is ridiculously tall. Doesn't turn-in as well as an ITR. Isn't as quick as an ITR and gets EATEN at road race courses and autocrosses by ITRs. The struts up-front need more negative camber, but that decreases traction. It also lacks a limited slip differential like the damned ITR. It's too hard to keep the engine above 6,000 rpm - I have to go beyond the indicated redline. Shift gates SUCK on tight tracks and car breaks traction easily [LSD again] coming out of tight corners where the [dare I say it?] ITRs keep a tight line and put the power down... Did I say it needed a helical LSD? | |
| General comments? | Nice car until compared directly to the ITR which is a wonderful FWD sports car [even though it's looks aren't that great]. I bought the car to open track day and autocross and it just doesn't do it. There are four ITRs in the immediate area and I've driven them at Waterford Hills, Gratten and Gingerman Raceway and it IS the cat's arse for that type of thing. I am now disappointed. I believe that the Celica is a better everyday car, though. | |
| Previous car | 2000 Integra Type R AFTER I purchsed my car. What a mistake that was. The ITR is quicker, corners harder and is much better on an autocross or open track day event. Oh, well... | |
