98 VTIR Vs 2001 Celica???

[ginganggooly]

hehehe... the heart tells me to get an integra, the head tells me to get the celica

new vs old being the main reason.

[RiP CITA :~(]

A'pexi thatks understanding that i did say a vtir and not a dc2r
all the other's thx for reply's.

the reason im asking is i went to look at a vtir, went i got there it was sold,
so i went to the toyota dealer next door and the offered me a 2001 celica sx
with only 38,000 km for $26,000. i then rang around for insurence and the new celica was cheaper then a vtir by $1200, its hard for me to get a price on insurence coz i have had a few clams b4.

ummm....
do u guys kno the celica specs at all
tru it mite have 140kw
but the vvtl-i doesnt kick in till 6000-6200rpm
have u guys seen them perform? well i have and lol u should see them struggle to go uphill whereas even the VTECs with same or less displacement dont
also apparently on paper the celica does high 15s - low 16s
i think u all kno what the Vti-R DC2 does
so i wont need any explaining on the performance rite?

get the celica :x

integra are over rated

i've heard in reviews of the Corolla sportivo (same engine and gearbox as celica) that the narrow powerband means its a real bugger to drive fast unless you're on a track, i.e., to keep it in the powrband you have to keep on the throttle and shift at redline....

as soon as you lift off you;re off the boil...

I would say Celica over VTi-R

6 speed - vvti! - responds well to I/H/E mods like the DC5R
It's only slower because the gearing is taller - good for FI

However, honda's have more Aftermarket bits for it, but definately nothing wrong with TRD - so depends on what your goal is.

Personally I'd say buy property and drive a shitbox.

Celica???????????? Hair dresser's special???????????? :roll: :roll: :roll:
No hot bits whatsoever! Not even TRD! Ever since Toyota stopped rallying
Celica - no performance parts development. Full stop!
Also, Celica's engine power delivery is miles behind Honda.
Poor torque and the 6sp gear box???????????? :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Tofu]

there's still aftermarket parts for the celica, but just not as much

i would say go celica...they are a good looking car, for some reason, personally i wouldn't want to drive one...
