Those of you saying that its not too practical, go buy a holden. You're either a high reving NA fan, into V8's or prefer turbo. Each has pro and con. ... and it will last how long if driven daily at >6k rpm? Lets just think back to Bathurst 24hr last year. Maybe ask a new Lotus Exige owner when they arrive in OZ this year. first problem: fwd. Sure it's safe and cheap to make, but it's not terribly sporty or performance oriented. Go out and drive a Integra Type R, Clio Sport, Pugeot 205 and new Mini. Then wash your mouth out with soap. Saying by design FF layout is crap, is as bad as thinking V8's generally shit on all 4 cyclinder cars. Sometimes I glad the car is so underated in Australia. Other times It annoys me to no end it does'nt get the respect it deserves. Panda Tofu, maybe I'll rock up to the next organised cruise and show you what's it all about. My ride. I agree with you on the defensive nature, did well to stand up for yourself - and your car. However FWD cars are just wrong, IMO. Your Celica looks great, I still don't understand the black bonet however. Although with the silver bonet it would make a black rear wing look off. And with a fully silver wing and bonnet its not quite as tough as what it is now. It certainly deserves points for looks. Its just when I look at it I think, NICE........ no, it looks ok. I know those rear wheels are just holding that thing up. And straight away it loses its ultra sporty appeal it had due to great styling. Regardless of whether or not it (or the Integra) could beat a similar RWD around the track. I like the idea of being pushed, not pulled around the track. And the extra capabilties at my command of the rear wheels being active, I can use them! to control the vehicle. [Report message to a moderator]
