The Celica is a freaking hairdressers car, FWD, it has a bit of power on tap but err no. The MR2 Spider, its a mid-life crisis posers car. Its well crap. My 2cents.

As I said, if only the Celica was RWD.
And the MR2 honestly isn't that bad. Shame about the lack of roof. And the fact that they're not sold in manual form in Australia. Sad

As far as the engine not revving high and shouldn't be in a sports car, take a look at the Supra and Soarers. My 7MGTE is redlined just over 6000 (6250-6500??)according to the instrument panel. Comparing it to a 2 ltr twin turbo 6 which is a small capacity high revving ngine that produces crap all torque isn't fair!

I would much rather the extra torque on tap rather than having to rev the F$%^ out of it ! Hence the reason why I got a 7MGTE not a 1GGTE in the Soarer.

Didn't I say that I wasn't comparing to the 1G? I'm talking about engine characteristics.
You wouldn't want a 1G in a Soarer, but at the same time you wouldn't want a 7M in a Celica.
Horses for courses.

A sports car is supposed to sacrifice some low end torque for some top end power. Not to the extent of Honda engines, but a 6000rpm rev limiter is just bullshit.

And redlining at 6250-6500 is a totally different story to being limited at 6000... Especially when you're talking about an engine that was in cars in the 80's. You can forgive the 7M because it was prolly designed 20 years ago.

It all comes down to personal opinions, no-ones really right or wrong here. How does the saying go?

"What does running in the special olympics and fighting on the Internet have in common? Even if you win you still are a retard!"

Yeah, but it can be damn fun! Very Happy

And I'm only getting warmed up. hehe
