Honda just got ALL fucked up.
mivec>VTEC YO!!!!!.

I thought ours were meant to compete with the Integra Type R, which is .15 of a second faster than ours

well, any is comparable as long as they are FF/NA/around 2L engine. capacity.

quater mile battle is one thing, track battle is totally different story.

2nd that.
You can get any car to go fast on a strait strech of road but when you put a turne at the end of it lets see what cars make it around
GO THE FTOs

Mitsubishi could've been abit more generous when they started making the "face lifted" ones ...

didnt know the fto came out in 03

Yes but thats a track battle. This is a drag.

and the times on that are overstated a fair bit. These are ff cars. I've driven the 147 gta and while it's ballsy and quick, no way would it do a 14.6 quarter. Lose too much traction to acheive that time plus comes with leather standard so it's a heavy car.. Comparison may be right though

yeah i reckon...well, still good for a guide. I was hoping that the fto can beat the celica but they came equal...

They didnt. Some idiot has been reading the compliance plate instead of looking into it.

Only until they hit the corner at the end of the straight.

Theoretical drag times FTL!

Raced track times by crazy japanese famous racers FTW!

FYI, i actually have seen an edition of best motoring where the FTO gets a super high 1 min 10sec lap around tsukuba so the time on the link is a bit off at 1min 11 sec lap.

whos driving the fto at tsukuba? Tsuchiya?

maybe all these FF cars have been driven by one unbiased driver...some say, he sleeps upside down. all we know is, he called THE STIG!

A manual fto will kill a celica, no questions about it, both on the striaght and the corner The car has less power, less torque and its 140kw's comes on even higher than our fto's at 7600rpm

yeah, maybe. but FYI, my friend just bought the latest civic typer and he claimed that the ivtec does not feel as exciting as his previous celica with vvti.

its like iVtec is way too progressive.

Nah new civic type r just has a more torquey engine over ther celica so i guess the ivtec has less of a feel at the cross over. In saying that though, the k20a engine is i.m.o. the best 2L n/a engine around....

Fto still offers one of the best all round packages. There's no reason why celicas and civic type r aren't good competitors though. Still think the Fto is the Way to Go
